    I hope for your sake that there's a decimal point missing from that! :eek:

    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.

    Been raining here. It looks like I feel, but you need to change the clouds to black storm clouds with sheet and fork lightning and cracks of thunder flying in almost simultaneously and then you'll be closer. By a little bit. Am not feeling good at all....doesn't help I got my DLA renewal form and I filled it in today, and I look like more of a psycho on paper....but I've still not put it all down.

    I can't do life anymore. Can I just disappear?

  • Bunny - please don't go.

    Linda - if I posted a picture of it, the thread would be pulled and I'd be bannished from the MSE website for ages! Let's just say Linda he was dressed as a female and getting very excited! :eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek:

    Claire - should that be £4.95?

    Elfen - lots of :grouphug::kisses:

    Buns - sending big squishy huggy things, you've had a rough time of it lately and I think you've really underestimated just how much rest you need to get yourself better. It's great that DH actually shared some of his worries with you, you can work as a team to sort things out.

    Lou - Hope you're ok too - sometimes you have to allow these thoughts to be thought through in order to get them out of your head...surpressing them doesn't always make them go away.


    The downside to having new handrails is that DH can't hold on to both rails and carry his stick up stairs.....we need an upstairs stick and a downstairs stick.....how posh! :D

    Can he hook it over his arm for now?
