    they know my love of creatures and as I was tucking Jess in they shouted upstairs that there was a hedgehog, so I rushed downstairs to see, pick up, carefully cuddle said hedgehog closely followed by Jess only to get to the back door and 'dear son' produced the hedgehog bread (spiky bloomer) that they'd just bought at Asda :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.

    The funny thing is the one post he/she/it has made has no use of capital letters :rotfl:

    Maybe they suffer from OCD - Obsessive Capital Disorder :D

    And here's me thinking it meant Obsessive Camp Disorder ;)
