    I know things like this happen everywhere now with increasing regularity but its been quite shocking here, as the other poster said BB - its a sleepy village where everyone knows everyone and policemen are only needed to move the teenage drunks on on a friday night. It was opposite a school at school opening time....

    We are quite near a whole motorway network so chances are they were outsiders who have come in off the motorway link.....If they had been insiders they would know you can't move round Bromsgrove at that time of the day...

    I feel so sorry for the family....

    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.
  • watching Anne Frank,

    had dinner which was bloody horrible.

    and now Anne Frank is sad.

    oh dear.

    I was teaching the kids about Nazi Germany the other day. we forget so much. I know you can't keep harping on about it all but it was so utterly awful. we really have no idea. mostly even tho we have money troubles we are ok you know. no one will come and take us in the night.
    sorry to be depressing!

  • Now be honest

    How mad would it be for a very unhealthy 40 pounds over weight woman who has never done regular exercise before to aim to run 10 in about 5 months?

    and Len I 'll have a beer thanks
