    I used to have a really good quote from someone cut out of a magazine about how their relationship wasn't 'normal' but it worked for them, I must see if I can find it...

    Eating turkey dinner here yum :D

    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 live down the road from your OH though, and I say lunch for the one in the middle of the day, and dinner for the one in the evening...although a casual meal around 5-ish with the kids would be tea.

    Lol at your washing machine Linda. :rotfl:

    Oooh, is it your poetry reading thing tonight Elfen? Good luck!
