    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'm sure I posted on here earlier. Before I went into town in fact.

    Had a productive day. Sold my PS2 and games, and got two for my 360 in return. Got some more books out of the library (who will hate me soon) and saw the psych, who's referred me to the STF/SFT team, so someone can help me with the social stuff. So eventually I might have a social life!

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Sally, the cut off with the OU is sometime in the 70s for credit transfer, so if yours is 14 years old it should count, I suppose other places might have different rules but I can't see why.

    Maz, confession time... you and Snaggles have made me feel a lot better about myself. One of the things my sister was trying to change about me was my attitude to sex and relationships, she said that you had to be committed and seeing each other for months before sleeping together... I see nothing wrong with casual relationships, but she told me it was another example of me not seeing how things are in the 'real' world. So it's good to see that I'm not completely abnormal! Now, I just need to work on moving my ideas from theoretical to practical... (Hope that didn't offend either of you)

    I'd also like to know how the troll is, mainly how big the policeman's boot on his backside is.

    No gardening here,
    It's been pelting it down for most of the day!

    even the snails had little umbrellas.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    ewwwww snails, I really don't like them. Or slugs. I did get great satisfaction the other week pouring salt all over a slug heading towards my flowers!

    Put your feet up for an hour or two and watch a favourite film!
    Blank everything out for a while.
    ...Linda xx

    Oh, don't tempt me! I've been blanking everything out all summer, putting things off until tomorrow. Now tomorrow's been and gone and I somehow need to catch up.

    Ok, I've had a lovely sleep and rung in sick for my evening shift too. Now I'm going to shift the washing to the tumble dryer, have a bowl of cereal to keep me going for the time being and tackle some of the slightly mouldy pots! :eek:
