    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.

    Linda - You mentioned that you have pre booked restuarants at Center Parcs, I am going to Center Parcs in a couple of weeks time - would you recommend pre-booking? is it because they get fully booked quickly? I am going after the school holidays have finished so thought it might not be too busy then?

    Scaredy - to answer your questions from last night, I haven't heard of the farm shop you mentioned!

    You must book otherwise your chances of getting in are VERY slim!
    especially Bella Italia!
    Which Center Parcs are you going to?

    I'm the Center Parcs expert so ask any questions you like, have a look at my photo albums on Facebook too, we've got loads from there. I'll give you my top tips.

    Ooh I love Centre Parcs. Only been once (for my hen weekend) because it's so bloomin expensive. I can only go in holiday time and even with the discount codes they sometimes do it's well out of reach.

    I really loved the water flume-thingy. I was like a 5 year old...."again....again". It's so much fun.

    Have a brilliant time Linda.

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

    I come home off holiday tomorrow, now THAT'S going to be a joy! Have to wait around for coaches and stuff so expect a !!!!ed off elfen about 11pm. And that I'm leaving nalle (only for just under 4 months, then he's coming to England for Christmas and New Year - his plane tickets are his birthday and Christmas pressie) but we'll be writing and emailing and skypeing so it'll fly by I hope.

    ETA: no point doing my grocery shopping online, as I mainly need fruit and veg

    I love it too Suzy!
    We've been loads of times and always had a fantastic time. I find it's as expensive as you want to make it! We always avoid booking in school holidays which makes it much cheaper!

    Tenmah I've sent you a PM with all my Center Parcs top tips!

    Tenmah, it's not far from Sudbury and if you want to meet up there one day, it's got a cafe.
