    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.

    Oooh it's all exciting!
    Try chatting on MSE first, it's kind of inbetween emails and telephoning!

    My friend has booked another girls holiday for next April from The Sun tokens.
    It's only £19.50 each for a 3 night weekend stay up in Northumberland.
    We had a fantastic time in April up there.

    I'm now sat on the beach! (On my android google phone!) And Rob is swimming away! Bit worried cos there's loads of surfers around him! It's pretty warm even though the sun keeps getting hidden in the clouds!

    He might hate chatting by email. The decision is yours - what about some kind of instant messenging like MSN?
