    Hello :wave:

    I've been working on my Uni assignment today and this evening, I'm up to 3,500 out of 5000 words now :T

    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 very rarely use salt in cooikng,and NEVER put it on food. Oil is always olive from a mister. DD can't stand chips,and isn't keen on spuds generally...
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    Evening folks, its a bit late to be joining in but I zonked out for 2 hours when I came in from work (bad nights sleep).

    All evening classes have been cancelled this week so I get to finish at 4pm :j
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Temperature hasnt managed to get above freezing today and more snow forecast over the next 2 days.

    College course is cancelled tomorrow too so I shall be a good girl and do some studying from home ( I prefer that anyway as the teaching is shocking at the college I am studying at)

    lecturer turns up opens book and basically reads out of it, I can read myself thank you very much:rolleyes:
