    I used to have my own area in my parents' garden too :)

    I need to get some seed pot/tray things first to start them off, I don't want to just plant the seeds straight out in the garden

    Snaggs if you're lurking come and talk, we're worried about you hun!

    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.

    Tonight I have book club then the meeting with dad and sister, I really need to think of what I want to say. 'Stop being a totally self absorbed cow who blames everyone else for your problems and can't grow up and take responsibility for your life' doesn't really seem very constructive.

    Yes but wouldn't it make you feel better!
    How about 'Isn't it time you started sorting out your own problems?' It's hard to put in a positive.

    or.....
    'You know I love you. Can you do me a favour and stop being a totally self absorbed cow who blames everyone else for your problems and can't grow up and take responsibility for your life. We're here for any further guidance' :rotfl:
