    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.

    Hi all.....bit of unsettling news tonight. Got home from work and DD2 told me that a man had approached her in a car, asked for obvious directions and then asked her to get in. She refused and carried on walking. He drove up beside her and told her she had a nice !!! and to carry on walking so that he could watch her as she walked (slimy scrote).

    She told him to drive on and he wouldn't so she stood her ground. Eventually he turned the car round and drove away and she came home. I advised her to call the police and they've taken down the details and have given her an incident number. Poor thing....she's ok but "frazzled" as she called it.


    omg!!!:eek: How frightening for her, no wonder she is frazzled!!

    whats the police going to do?

    Well done on the results Lou
    Luc - is nathan really 1 soon?? was I lurking for that long? I remember the anticipation awaiting news of his safe arrival.

    I took a big step today...finally told my dad I'm going to be moving out, and he was surprisingly calm about it...I think im still in shock!!

    Good for you lizzie, when are you moving?

    Oh that is very worrying Suzy but your girl seems to be very level headed and sensible.

    I bet she still feels a bit shaken by the ordeal though bless her.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    OMG Suzy, how scary. Hugs to your DD hun :grouphug:

    Hopefully the police will alert schools/colleges in the area and check any possible CCTV footage too.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Thanks all for your good wishes. There's nothing the police can do really without any decent information - no registration number for example. I just wanted it noted, so they can link crimes if necessary.

    Scaredy - thanks for the link. She doesn't think it was a Merc and it was mid blue rather than grey.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T
