    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 got some crime thriller books, they are mainly lesser known authors, but they look intersting from reading the back cover. they were selling everything off at 30p or less!

    I went to Borders today, but it had shut :(

    I don't know what I'll do without it, it had the only free accessible toilets in the city centre, and the Starbucks there had more accessible seating than any of the others. I need to rest if I'm going to more than one or two shops, and can need the loo in a hurry. I think I'm going to have to check out the suburbs or other places to shop if I can't find anything else in the centre.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
