    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.

    Ahhh.....good ol' Ikea. Where I go in for a lightbulb and by the time I've been 'herded' around the one-way system I've emerged with a new bookcase, some dodgy looking storage items and no lightbulb.

    Lucky you Linda. I tried to get tickets but the cinema I could have gone too was full :cry:

    Am going to have to wait and (shh......pay) for the ticket if I want to go and see it.

    There are loads more codes for it on today!

    Are the long and lean jeans for shorties then? What are they like? I need some new jeans and can't find any that look half decent

    A scarily accurate description of how I shop in Ikea.

    Last time I wanted a 10 pound bargain desk. I spent 80 quid by the time I had finished.:eek:
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Can't resist a meal in their cafe when I'm there tho. Always go for the gravadlax and salad. Took the kids for breakfast there one morning ages ago. I'm sure it was something like £1 or £1.50 each - bargain.

    Ex always said I wasn't a real woman because I could go into Ikea and not buy anything. It's mainly because I know the Argos catalogue inside out and know all the places to get stuff cheaper, I think Ikea's pretty expensive for a lot of things.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
