    Hi Cooky! :wave:

    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.
  • Oh thanks. Thanks weather.



    ALL during the working week - you don't snow and instead bright sunshine...


    The only day of the week I need to go out? Today? Snow - and plenty of it. OH hasn't made it down due to road conditions either.:mad:

  • Morning.
    Had about another inch (of snow) here. Luckily my meeting in Leicester is cancelled so I don't have to dig the car out or feel guilty for not going.
    DD1 has tried to persuade me to go see her and GS. She has had hardly any snow and can't see my problem. I told her to get her 4 wheel drive out and come here instead. :rotfl:Makes sense as she could see DD2 and grandparents too.

    Just rearranged them today to pick up at the post office near work today - OH was going to drive me to get the parcel but as he cannot make it down now...

    Oh well, housebound and hoping it lets up soon as I have new work shoes - my only clothing purchase for the last 7 months to pick up for Monday!

    The whole thing?
    I managed to get into the office yesterday and finished my assignment draft - 5,465 words! :T

    Hi Linda,

    Yes the whole bleeping thing. I can confirm that Toshiba notebooks don't bounce when accidentally (cough) pushed onto the floor. :rolleyes:

    Lucily my brother has fixed my dell laptop, which I trust a lot more than my special notebook.

    Well done Linda, you deserve a treat for that.I ventured outside to pick up a picture from the framers, it looks awesome, however the paths are a tad slippy. Also people are going mad in Sainsburys, it's worse than Christmas, anyone would think the world is going to end!!!

    Morning all...more snow here overnight, and more expected tonight! Loving it, although we have just checked our levels, and we are running low on both Calor gas and Oil....both have us pencilled in for deliveries, but no idea when it'll be...hey ho,just have to chop more logs for the wood burner!
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
