    I've put my socks and slippers on and fleecy jacket.

    I REFUSE to put the heating on in August. :mad::mad:

    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.

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

    Afternoon...I have a serious case of the green eyed monster, someone slap me please.
    Spent the morning at a friends house (old farmhouse) which they have just had a massive extension done and re-done top to bottom, beautiful setting, lots of land and TBH its my perfect house, I know they have worked hard, bought and sold property in London which made them good money but quite frankly I want to shout and stamp my feet saying its not fair.

    Then just been to one of Beas school friends houses (they too have just moved house) and its a lovely house, nothing massive but enough space to let the kids run around and I feel crap that I can't provide that for DD and have stupid Debt, no career and no hope of ever earning enough money to buy us a nice place.

    Ok rant over, need to hatch a plan!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Jealousy is good if you can use it to spur yourself on - it only becomes dangerous when it leads to giving up on stuff because you'll never be as good/have as big house/be as thin etc...
