Whatever!
We know when we're second best
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

I don't know about you but every time our old car went in for it's MOT I used to get a figure in my head that I expected it to be to get it through, and was usually pretty spot on with it!
Amazingly the R reg Ford Escort Estate (or 'The Tank' as I used to call it!) got through it's last 2 MOTs with no problems whatsoever, we were stunned!
We've just sold it and upgraded to a 51 plate Ford Focus for hubby.
