    I'm very impressed with all you runners and dieters you know - so much enthusiasm :T

    I want to know how to stop being lazy and where to get some of this enthusiasm :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

    Watching Slumdog Secret Millionaire.
    Not sure what to say really :(
    We just dont know we are living.Sigh.

    Im watching it too Beanie...makes you think about what we DO have. I know its reletive to each country but in India there is such a huge divide between the poor and the wealthy. Here there are people who live in poverty, but for those poor people in the slums they would see that as living like kings and Queens!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Phew - tried to sleep on the train but muscles are too achy - its hard when you arent lying flat as the blood pools in your legs and makes the aching worse I find! At least I'm not on the coach - it takes over 4 hours :eek:

    Only another 45 mins or so and I can be sound asleep under my togs :)

    Get you lot with your relay marathon :D Dont think I could do that - they usually have tough cut off times and if your friend is slowing up the team then that would upset me - I'm too competitive for my own good sometimes ;)
