The daily update from HU pings to me when I am in the woods with my dog each morning and sets me up for a good read over breakfast... a great start to each day. It is a really inspiring forum and I love the way that one post will be from someone excited that they have just graduated and the next will be from someone equally excited that they have just done W1R1.....
like everyone is on the same train journey, perhaps stopping at different stations and perhaps branching off for different eventual destinations, but they are all travelling on the train!

Thanks teabreaks..... I am sure you will succeed.... The way the programme builds in small steps really helped me to get through.. Will keep an eye out
Thanks notbad... It is good to read about so many people being positive about things and trying to improve their lives... We normally just hear about the cr**py side of life
I agree with you that the timing of that first email is really good - many a time I have wanted to sink back into my pillows but I read a few success story posts and I want to be part of the gang and find myself tying on my running shoes! Your track record is amazing! Congratulations on your success which has rewarded your will power. I hope I will one day share that sort of success
