    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.

    Wow! I've been with them for 4 years and still only about £12! Any tips?

    Oh well, I'm obviously of no interest to them as they never seem to invite me to do anything worthwhile. All I ever get are the prize draw ones, so maybe they only send paid surveys to people who are prepared to do them for nowt as well - not got the time for that unfortunately!

    Ooh, postie just been...red pen poised to sort through the junkmail!

    Boo, only a load of 'genuine' mail today, plus some junk from some mob called the Home Learning College.

    Season's Hols - are they the mob that send you a Rec Del letter telling you that you've 'won' a timeshare worth £50,000,000,000,000 if you just pay them a few hundred quid every year? How could you say no to that?
