    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.

    Woohoo, finally booked my accommodation for Venice. I found an ok hostel but couldn't pay for it by maestro so had to wait for my debit mastercard to come. Now it has done I went to book it but found a higher rated one in a better location for the same price, and it took maestro... no idea why it didn't come up before! Anyway, I can relax about it now.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I have got a radar key, but most places have changed to their own keypads - Starbucks in the centre you need a code and you do at Costa in Waterstones, so you need to be a customer there. The main shopping centre ones you have to pay to get through.

    Oh don't worry about the pictures, I take loads!

    Thanks Scaredy, I hadn't heard of that *goes to google*

    Talking of crime/thrillers, have you read Mo Hayder? I'm reading her latest now, I think she's brilliant.
