    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.

    Ooh drama outside!

    On Wednesday morning a builder's truck with a huge trailer on came up our cul-de-sac and attempted to turn around at the top.
    During this incompetent 190 point turn the !!!!!! mounted the pavement and smacked into my neighbour's front wall leaving a crack right along it!
    They then pulled away, looked over and laughed before driving down to the house that they were working at.

    I wrote down the builder's name and reg plate but didn't see my neighbour until this morning when I heard cement grinding and looked out.

    I gave him the details and he went down to the house where Bodgit and Scarper building services are working.
    They are all now stood around the wall inspecting it like blokes do!

    Well done you Linda!Years ago,in a multi story car park at LGW, I watched a BMW swipe a Citroen 2CV and virtually remove the front wing.The !!!!!! knew what he'd done,but just drove off. I noted the car type/colour and reg, and left a note on the 2CV windscreen with my contact details offering myself as a witness. Never heard a dickie bird. OH says BMW man probably drove round corner,waited till I had gone and removed the note.There are some right !!!!!! around...
