    and.... try some positive visualization!

    Imagine it all going well on Monday and feeling really happy with how you did.

    Feeling defeatist is a self fulfilling prophecy. Think you'll do bad and you probably will.

    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.

    Happy birthday Snaggles and Pania - hope you both have a lovely day :j. I love birthdays - even if their not mine.
    IA - sounds like you are doing well with the car fund.

    Not much excitment here today - mainly tidying and cleaning - yuck. But off to view a flat later so will see how that looks.

    Have a good day everyone - and don't forget to get your Lego with the Mirror for those Christmas stockings if you are collecting.

    *is a naughty person who spent lots of money on things at the shops place today*

    I should not be allowed near the shops. I spent a lot of money (admittedly, I needed it for tonight as it's a wedding reception and it's stuff I can use too)

    Slaps Elfens hands.....naughty naughty....but what'dya buy? :D

    I've not stopped all day - Took DH for a walk, he lost feeling from the elbows down at less than quarter of a mile - before the accident we'd walk 6 miles on a Sunday :rolleyes:

    I've done all the washing...in the bath! Wringing it out was hell but as it was soooooo sunny it's nearly all dried on the line....I've dry ironed everything and hung it up just to finish it of.

    Dinner is ready in the oven...will be eating when X factor starts, everything is washed up, hob's been cleaned and tiles polished.

    Living room was damp dusted, hoovered and sofa covers were taken off and hung in the garden for an airing.

    Tis now wine o'clock!
