    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.

    I could, but the wait is 7 hours at the airport to get back, I was going to get a flight but it wasn't practical. It is a hell of a lot of money for 24 hours (which I don't have - I'm desparately trying to get together enough money on AQA this weekend just to break even on the bills for June) plus I cancelled my hotel room. There is a flight on the Monday morning, but it's 8.30 - so I'd need to be at the airport for 7.30, wouldn't be worth going to bed :rotfl:

    Just looked and I could do Southampton to Manchester and take a lunchtime flight from Manchester, but it would be £94 plus the train fare between Leeds and Manc and I don't have the money.

    I know, but it's the work thing really. I would be in serious doo doo if I didn't get back for teaching my class that night.

    yawn..........just finished 7 hours on AQA and netted £80 :D I needed £126 to break even for the month ahead and had a impulsive and reckless bet, which won and gained me another £40. So, just £6 to do tomorrow, anything on top is money I can use towards food on top of the £65 OH still owes me I plan to use mid-month or probably more importantly, to get my hair cut/coloured for my interview on the 10th.
