    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.

    Haven't managed to get on yet today so haven't caught up with all of this thread! (Thought I'd say hi first)

    Did I go swimming AND football last night? No but it wasn't my fault! and I did go swimming! Football wasn't on coz there wasn't enough of us! so instead i went swimming! yay me!

    And my pancakes were scrummy! probably had too many but hey ho! they were d4mn good!

    Also giving up chocolate for lent so obviously had to have chocolate too last night (2 wispas and a creme egg! Oh dear! and i had a dream about a giant creme egg! hehe!)

    got my wages today plus my bonus! not quite as good as i'd worked out but still good for half a year! Have already spent some on a photoshop course i want to do (dad gave me money for it for xmas but it dissapeared into the bottomless pit that WAS my finances and I didn't know how to tell him!! ;) )

    Also booked to do 2 race for lifes, bought the next 5 weeks lottery ticekts, a ring and paid my institution fees (but i get this back from the company so that's ok!)

    Plus I have written EVERYTHING I've spent down and will continue to do so!

    Anyway, that is all! Off to read how you're all doing now!

    Hi Sally, Hi Lou!

    I'm not too bad thanks, hope you're OK too. I'm off home very soon and it's lovely the nights are getting lighter everyday and the sun is still, just about, out here!

    Fingers crossed this post doesn't stop the thread again!! QBx

    I'm SO glad that days are lighter for longer, there are lots of birds on the feeders in my garden (+ squirrels) and my irises are coming up.
    I love the Spring.
