:D Sorry for the big ego there but I think I deserve it!!!
My PAs kicked off big style about 10 yrs ago when I went on trains and tubes (and basically got worse from there...). So apart from 1 journey when I went to London (about 30 min journey) with my then hubby about 5 yrs ago, I havent set foot on a train and even the sounds of trains going through the platform is enough to get me anxious.
SO having been a bit fed up of not being able to go places all this time, I decided TODAY WAS THE DAY!!! Ray (my bf) and I took my daughter up to London ON A TRAIN!!! YEAY!!!!! half hour journey there, 7 HOURS IN LONDON with only a minor wobbly moment cos I didnt like sitting still trying to eat and the fast train back - which i normally avoid cos there are no stations to jump out at.
And the BESTEST bit of all is that the trains really didnt bother me! normally the beepy noise when the doors close gets my pulse racing and I get hot and unreal feeling but I barely even noticed them!!! Think its been so long since i been on a train I kinda forgot why it was supposed to be scarey!!
AND (yes theres more!) she who hates bridges walked across the millenium bridge! Admittedly I did have my nails dug into Ray's hand and practically dragged Kate across it cos I wanted to get to the other side but I still did it!!!!!
SO YEAY TO ME!!!! REALLY PROUD OF SELF!!!!:D :D :D :D
Just thought I would share my modesty with all of you
