    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.

    Hi girls. We're playing Wii Sport Resort. Fab game, but I blame Linda for tempting me to buy it :rotfl:

    My OH has just suggested we consider moving house - nearer friends would also mean changing jobs. I've just cried and cried for over an hour. It isn't a plan for now, about 12-24 months time. As I cried infront of him he knows how I feel. I have at least six months to get used to the idea of moving, then to commit to exploring it properly. I feel a bit silly for being so upset, but I had thought we would live in our house for the rest of our lives. Neither of us wants to upset the other, but a cheaper location would mean a cheaper mortage so we could pay it off sooner. I just feel settled here.

    Ho hum. Time to drink tea then do my [STRIKE]stupid [/STRIKE] interesting and enjoyable university report :rolleyes: How long can it take me to write 10k word anyway?

    Sammy I am sure your Mam is thinking of you driving in the bad weather, if its any consolation we were told not to bother on Chrismas day from MIL:rolleyes: Totally ignored her and she was over the moon that we came regardless.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
