    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.

    afternoon all!

    I have had a lazy lazy morning! Graham went out mid morning, left Erin watching simpsons movie with snacks, so i lay in bed, reading! I did contemplate going downstairs and getting the laptop but i didn't want to show my face and upset the status quo.....

    Taking erin swimming later, she wants to go to aberdeen pool where there are flumes and what not... but it's a 50 mile round trip, so i think 10 miles to local council pool (courtesy of Mr Kellogg again - thanks sammy!!) is more the order of the day. more mse....! plus i can't do any swimming when at big fancy pool, whereas i can do a few lengths at local pool while erin farts about!

    It's actually a lovely sunny day here, but cold and windy...... should strip the beds but will leave it til tomorrow, when it will probably be raining!

    I've got the bank holiday off work tomorrow, and erin is at school so think i will go buy some emulsion today a pain my bedroom tomorrow in the daytime....

    And yes,erin did miss her first swimming lesson of the block yesterday!!! Grrr!!

    Chicken thighs in the slow cooker for tea later.. domestic goddes that i am! not!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    afternoon all.

    My back was horrifically painful this morning :( and I struggled to even put cereal in the bowl it was so difficult to stand. It's slightly better now but just feels like I'm constantly being kicked. Just keep taking the drugs I guess :(

    Guess I'd better start AQA'ing unless anyone is planning to whisk me off for the afternoon for fun and frivolity!!!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
