    back in Poole!

    Oh, the joys of travellling on a Sunday.

    Taxi, bus replacement service, 20 minute (yes 20 minute) walk to terminal 3 from the drop off point , plane, bus replacement service, train, taxi.

    And then the awful sickening realisation that my keys weren't in my handbag and I remember leaving them on the desk area in the hotel _pale_

    And a nose bleed......:rolleyes:



    Got to my front door and was almost hysterical on the phone to the girl at the hotel, bless her. She took my number and said she would call housekeeping. 'I could come and get them' :eek: apparently or they would be put in an envelope and sent to me.

    Whilst waiting I tipped open my case onto the bonnet of my car (the lappy nearly ending up on the ground as it slid off the bonnet) and there they were in my case!! I must have chucked them in at some point and then this morning when I said I may as well grab my bags and leave at the same time as everyone else, I forgot to look in my handbag. I was sooooooooo relieved and so was the receptionist I think! :rotfl:
    so it was a quiet day then?:rotfl:

    The guy that was on the reception desk yesterday remembered my name when we passed him outside this morning. I cant think why I should stick in his head :rolleyes: :o

    I think it was the nipple tassels twirling as you danced on the hotel bar!

    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.

    Do you have the forum set up to view newest messages first or oldest messages first?

    I always had it as oldest first but have just set it to newest first which makes it quicker for me!

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
