    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.

    They had a great 'blokey' time!
    played football on the cul-de-sac for a bit before their parents turned up to collect them.
    I'm amazed he didn't want one of em to sleep over to be honest!

    Oh MY GOD!!!

    I tried to withdraw some money from my current account from the cashpoint and it said unauthorised.

    when I got home there was an answer machine message from my bank to say they needed to speak to me urgently.

    When I rang them they said that they had put a block on my account due to suspicious transactions and could they check that they were mine...

    £3 for ITunes...................NO!
    £50 to Vodaphone.............NO!
    £5000 to some random business.....................NO!

    I actually feel quite shakey about all of this even though all of the transacions will be cancelled......the £3 and £50 will still appear on my statement and then be reversed.

    THIEVING SCUM!
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    At least banks seem to be pretty good at stopping accounts quickly when there is suspicious activity.
