    Lenny, I may be wrong but isn't this the third day that you've washed the car this week? And I seem to remember some lawn mowing too. :confused:
    I mowed my lawn yesterday and stained the decking. :A

    Maybe 'off to wash my car' is a euphemism!

    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.

    Afternoon all!

    Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, I managed to give myself food poisoning with some out of date fishcakes I found at the back of the freezer and spend most of the day asleep. On the plus side, I managed a NSD. :D I'm better again today but I have a essay due in so I'm pulling a sickie to get it done. Shhh, don't tell anyone. :D

    @ Sammy - I can't remember the last time I read a decent book but I'm not sure if I'd recommend Twilight. It's a very Marmite series, you love it or hate it. Personally, I've only read the first book and I'm kind of indifferent. I could see how bad the plotline was and how much of a Mary Sue the central character was but I still read it from beginning to end. It's the kind of book you have to switch your brain off for, imo. That and I wrote some horrendous novel ideas when I was younger and wanted to be a writer and it makes me feel better about them. :D

    Hope everyone's headaches get better. I'll drop back in once I've had something to eat.
