    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.

    Pretty good. I don't think it quite deserves the 5* reviews or the number 3 place on the IMDB Top 250 but it was very good. There's just a few bits that I had problems with.

    Just having a few minutes after flyladying and food shopping. Felt all hot and sick in the food shop again:o

    Think I probably need to have something decent to eat instead of just snacking on fruit and salad.

    Trying to find out the best and cheapest way to insulate our house as we have a levitating carpet in the lounge when the wind gets up a bit. It has been suggested that we take up all the carpets and nail hardboard to the floorboards.:confused:

    Also contemplating getting rid or covering the open living flame LPG gas fire as it eats the gas and the draught that comes down the chimney when its not lit can take your legs off. Pre MSE I thought it looked pretty and cosy:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Morning Lou, its probably those photos you saw last night :D. Seriously though, I think we need to combine diets dont we. I'll eat your fruit and salad and you can eat my crap. I think I may have found the guilty barsta rd when it comes to my soft stools; 'Asda hawaiian crunch' I didnt have it this morning so I will let you know how it goes :D
