    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.

    It does Luc, I'm only joking really.

    Linda, that sounds like my ideal day out! I'm thinking about going over to York in Feb for a day for the viking festival, there's a few things like that that are free or only a couple of quid.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    *Crawls out of cupboard covered in dust*

    Phew :) nearly done! Most of the filing is now neatly in two metal box files (I bought the Argos ones Buffy, but I need an extra pack of the folders that go in them...I appear to be a compulsive filer...). I say most, because I found another small pile after I had finished, which I will probably leave in the in-tray until I can be bothered!

    I have thrown away 5 binbags full of 'stuff' from one cupboard... :eek:
