    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.

    Evening :)

    My 'home made' :whistle: pie went down well :D although in the end it would have been fine enough for a bbq. :rolleyes:

    Think my oven is packing in though, because it took over an hour to cook something that said 30 minutes.

    So, this week, things that have packed in so far:

    Cooker (possibly)
    Washing machine
    Vacuum cleaner
    Lawn mower

    Luckily I have a plan. :o

    Hi I'm back in from the garden.
    Nice to see you back Linda.
    SIL to be has promised to finish all the unfinished gloss over the weekend whilst I am away - we'll see. :T
    He is also coming down to 'learn the shop' Thursday morning so that I can have Thursday afternoon off to spend with both DDs and get ready. He will then do the on Fri/Sat.:j
    He and DD2 are going to move in here over the weekend so more room than their bedsit. probably planning a party but I don't care. :D

    It's not something I'd be particularly keen on I have to say, £900 each? :eek:
    ...Linda xx

    £900 each for 2 weeks full board isnt bad. looking at 4star land based half board in majorca for 2 weeks is also £800 each.

    what does:
    Maximum 59 days for purchases if you pay the balance in full and on time. There is no interest free period on cash advances, cheques and balance transfers.

    mean?
    Mr & Mrs Doomcow Wedding Fund: £10200/£18000 (by 04/2012) (spent £2000)

    I think I'm out of touch with the cost of holidays to be honest.
    We never have 1 or 2 week holidays, we do a few weekend breaks per year instead.
