    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 am in that kind of mood where I'd rather been alone, thankfully kids are being wonderful really and just playing upstairs (can't imagine the mess) but hey ho. There's always time to clean eh?

    Work is really getting me down right now and bottom line is, I miss having my friends close by-I just text one of my best mates who moved down Coventry way because I miss her so much-we used to be together every single day...we're meeting up in 3 weeks...

    That's what I need bunny, things to look forward to. It keeps me going.

    Neither of my DD's want to walk along the beach with me, DH is watching GP.

    Fun fun fun!

    Think I might go make some curtains.

    I wish I lived near the beach pooky.

    I love messing around in rock pools and looking for crabs, shells etc...

    Depends on the kid.
    We have some neighbours whose kid is a pain.

    Happy having Elliot's friend Jack round though
