    Was about to suggest a NE meet then thought I'd check your location on FB but... we're no longer friends :( I put on my stalker hat and couldn't find you:confused:

    when the snow clears let's have a northerly meet!

    Cat I had to delete my FB account due to an email send from our HR department:o I was also getting bother from someone on there.

    I did mention a NE meet in Durham in the spring with a visit to Beamish Museum incorporated.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    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.

    When is Spring?

    A friend on FB is having lots of sunshine at the moment and her pictures are all sunny and cheerful. I am so jealous.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Ach, Shoe. As I said to a friend earlier, Man-U can claim that they are concentrating on other priorities such as championships etc.

    I do the standing time too, although I don't set a timer! Mainly because I've had too many experiences of 'ooh !!!!!! that's hot, ouch my fingers, aaargh, oh no I've dropped it all over the floor'.

    Spring meet and Beamish sounds good!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
