    We live at the top of a hill too. I'm thinking of driving somewhere flat, where no-one knows us. At least until we get a bit better :D


    Spud when I started we used to park in a pub car park and stop for a pint of lager after we had done a run....:rotfl:

    Just been to put the scrote's washing away and found:

    1, Maureen perched on the windowsill looking around as if to say "This is nice, I don't believe I've been in here before." (she has - she just doesn't recognise it because it's clean and there's daylight.

    2, more dirty socks under the bed

    3, a pair of underpants behind the radiator :mad:

    4, 2 more plates with mouldy toast crusts

    5, sweaty and muddy P E kit stuffed in his school bag

    Grrrrrrrrrr. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    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.

    Linda, it does not get any better....my DS was over for the weekend and DD1 moans that he uses the spare duvet when he kips on the floor and that it smells when he has used it (it does!)......

    He is dreadlock free now and DD used rubber gloves to cut his hair, she was so scared of catching something from his hair....(and he used to be such a clean cut boy too.....sigh)
