    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.

    Am still stuck on working out about upgrading mobile - why are there so many retailers and so many complicated choices :(


    do you need a new phone? or is your old one still ok?

    why don't you have a look at a sim only contract? if your phones ok? you can get then £15 a month and i think they are only monthly contracts not 12 - 18 month ones

    Start with what you want to pay per month, look at which network has the best coverage for your area or choose the same network as friends, family etc for a cheaper tariff (sometimes) then I'd go into one of the phone shops and tell em straight... here's what I want and here's the max I'll pay, what have you got?

    bookie - if he ever says anything say that donations don't have to be financial to be seen as appreciated. You do lots of stuff which is helping others out and that in itself is a Christian act. In a way that is much more use to the community in general than sticking 50p in a metal tray and then never knowing what it is used for other than the 'church roof fund'.

    Right.....

    presentation done for teaching qualification assessment for tomorrow - tick
    session plan for the presentation tomorrow - tick
    ingredients for class bought - tick
    teaching folder sorted for Tuesday - tick
    handouts typed up and emailed to work to print off for Tuesday class - tick
    learner records written up - tick
    session plan for Tuesday night - next on the hit list
    Make Tarte au Pommes for Tuesday night class - last thing to do.

    Weekend starts..........oh, it's 4pm and virtually over........ :(

    Yeah but look how much you've achieved! Why don't you treat yourself to a nice relaxing bath or put your feet up with a drink and a good dvd?

    Is a cheese and spinach sandwich that odd? I love them! It's got sundried tomatoes in it too, so it's a bit like a pizza toastie.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
