    I'm back from my 5 mile run! Good one tonight, lots of rain which I love running in because it's really refreshing

    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.

    I think any men watching Embarrasing bodies will be crossing their legs at this point:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It's not, but they were using it as one. They didn't mean I was classy, they meant I was up myself, if you'll pardon the expression. :cool:

    His family are very odd, they do have this attitude that anything that involves you using your brain, or wanting to better yourself, is something that should be sneered at. Strange.

    Although having the biggest TV in the neighbourhood is the ultimate achievement...




    BB - I was the swotty one at school too. Had the perm, the glasses, the dodgy teeth, the acne and the painful shyness to complete the overall effect too.

    I quite like being a nerd now! :rotfl:


    OMG snags there families really really must have been seperated at birth

    Evening guys - just been catching up with the thread. DD3 and DS finally in bed! DD1 and 2 are both out and OH is in work! so lovely quiet house!

    Pooky my DD2 managed to break her wrist 4 times in as many years. Once was in school and they didn't even bother to tell me! I went to pick her up one day and she told me she had fallen and hurt her arm - I took one look and took her to a&e. School was apologetic but it's not good - the least they should have done is phone you!!!

    Luc - I think what you did in writing to this person was very brave - and it turns out it is one person with a huge chip on her shoulder jumping to wrong conclusions - I hope it works out when to meet up and you manage to clear the air - interview sound promising.
