    Sorry lovely friends - I didn't mean to bring the thread down - that's why I have been posting even less than usual- is at the forefront of my mind all the time. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and support. XX

    I have a message from Cat, she cant seem to get on MSE as her internet is playing up but she wants to come to Bunnys party and is wondering if anyone wants to share a room or if there is any space with someone before she books a room for herself?

    Louise have you decided about your travel arrangements yet?

    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.
