    You're up and out early Elfen. It's my lovely lovely Friday off today and intend to do absolutely nowt! Well, apart from some washing and I need some supplies for my Art course. But nothing too strenuous.

    What's the essay about?
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

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

    You are such a lucky person Elfen, I bet you were thinking 'they're just too kind'.

    I'm off to Brussels and Ghent for a long weekend. Probably my first and last break for this year.

    Butti, it's an essay I need to make up, but as I've never done it and have extenuating circs, I've been told to do it and it'll get marked as a first attempt so no capping!

    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.

    Arrggghhhhhhhhhh.... :rotfl:

    Morning, by the way!

    Having an expensive day today, desperately need a haircut, and XOH has the day off so is taking the kids early. So I have a hair appointment for 1.45pm. :j

    But then my new wiper blades arrived and the wipers are still clashing, so car needs to go to the garage to have them re-aligned - just hoping I don't need them replaced (the whole wiper bit, not just the blades).

    And R's school shoes fell apart as he put them on this morning! :doh:
