    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.

    Congrats Elfen - you clever thing!!!

    School shoes - done
    Trainers/football boots - done
    School bags - done
    Winter coats - done (only cos they were in the sale)
    Uniform for DD2 - done (dd1 doesn't need any)
    Pencil cases/contents - done

    Need to get another tie - I know she'll loose the one she was given but the uniform shop is 15 miles away and not on a bus route....I shall have to phone them me thinks.

    Well done Pooky. They usually sell ties in the school office - can you not send money/cheque in with DD for her to get one?

    Oh do they? Thanks for that I shall wait and see then. DD2 is going to a different school to DD1 which just confuses the issue on uniform and suppliers.
