    So I hope you feel very proud of your achievements, but also proud that by sharing your [strike]life[/strike] ideas and determination with others you are having a far wider impact than just your own finances.


    I couldn't have put it better myself.... :T

    You should be really proud to have reached the 40's in such a short time whilst still somehow finding enough for your kids to play out their own dreams in the skiiing. What an amazing woman you are!

    Are you a Costa Coffee lover ? I really like their iced caramel lattes made with soya milk - yum! Although not really a breakfast coffee I guess :o

    Enjoy your latte - it's a well deserved treat.
