    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.

    In which case she fits into Eastenders well because it also is carp.

    Evening all.

    Pooky, what a rubbish 'friend', maybe it's time to gradually drift away from him.

    Sally, really sorry to hear that, at least it gives you time to get experience in.

    I grew up in Scarborough, but to be honest you get so used to the sea you don't really notice it any more. I remember when I got ME mum saying to someone that there seemed to be a lot of clusters of people with it who lived by the sea, and her friend saying 'but we don't live by the sea'. We were about two miles inland!

    Just been to Asda with sister and ex, mentioned Watership Down as we were going through the checkout and ex had to explain to the mystified checkout girl how scared he is of the film, me and sister were laughing our heads off at him.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
