    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 know exactly what you mean Louise, I've slipped into that habit.
    Monday morning is going to be a shock to the system.

    I've only worked an 8 hour day today, feel like I've been let out of school early.
    Smithfield Markets dead this morning, absolutely NO new years trade at all!!
    Lots of v.worried meat traders, still I managed to get 10kg of premium chicken breast fillets for £10.........cash is definitely king! Gonna take plenty on friday as red-meat sales are non-existent so should be lots of cheap beef.

    ( Then sell it on to the neighbours:D )
