    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.

    Humph - I managed to ruin my tea because I was sucked into Pania's diary.

    My fish in butter sauce (which you cook in the bag in boiling water) boiled dry and now I have a black pan and another 30mins to wait for dinner. I'm such a doofus!:rotfl: :o

    the 'get !!!!!! in the dictionary' group now has 45 members and another 112 invited (that's quite mad in itself!) Apparently if we get 200 members it qualifies us to be able to petition the Government!!!!

    Can you all imagine us outside Number 10 with our placards shouting '!!!!!!, !!!!!!, !!!!!!, !!!!!!'..............:rotfl:

    Would be quite appropriate!

    Have a look on the government petitions website at the rejected topics...hilarious!
    http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/list/rejected?cat=557
    Here are a few...

    Make me a cup of tea

    Ensure that mashed potatoes are 100% mashed potatoes, not like turnip or nowt

    ban broccoli as an edible foodstuff and reclassify it as a toxic substance

    Provide every person of 70 years of age with a Grey Squirrel

    Ban old people in towns and city centres during weekday lunch hours

    Make 'Talk Like a Pirate Day' a National Holiday and give away free peg legs to those in need on this day
