    Hi All.

    Lovely here. Yes Shoe Gal they're predicting snow on Tuesday, my last day and hence the day I will be walking to work from the station :( There goes the plan to wear something strappy and a bit racy - back to the thermals!

    Going for a run at midday. Washing up and breakfast to sort now

    Hello :wave:
    ...Linda xx
    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.

    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    That is total Pants Snags:(

    Can you cope without the tumbler? I havent had one for a few years now but I havent got a 2 year old either:o

    Can you drive with your Ipod earphones in?

    I hope the central heating is fixable for you.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Thanks Lou...I hope so too. :o

    I manage to dry a lot of my washing on the line, and now it's spring, that will get easier but with a potty training toddler and a son who isn't dry at night, it's really difficult to cope without one altogether (but possible, if worst comes to worst).

    I just don't even have radiators to dry stuff on now! :rotfl:

    Most sad about the car stereo because I know that will have to be last on the list to be sorted and I hate driving with no music. Don't think I could drive with earphones in! :rotfl:
