    It'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.

    I only really saw a few roundabouts and an office on an industrial estate, although it does make me feel a bit homesick when I hear the accent and see the green fields when I drive up the M62..(although I am originally from t'other side of the penines and wouldn't normally be seen dead talking to a Yorkshireman:rotfl: ).

    That's fantastic, although I am pretty sure with your next year bonus - it might be even earlier.... The only way is up!

    Evening everyone :D Have spent the afternoon building a trampoline for our children. Finished it about half an hour ago and it's so much fun and the children love it. In fact OH and DD1 are on it as we speak even though OH has been ill with a stomach virus, he couldn't resist! Also our car passed it's MOT today first time so ecstatic about that! I also had some tesco clubcard vouchers so in all our MOT cost us £13.10 :D Bit of a bargain really!
    This is not a signature.... or is it?
