    Crikey Hypno you are amazing! Here's me dithering over whether or not I can do a 3 mile run after 4 weeks training and you can do a bloomin half marathon! I am in awe.

    Remember, Seaxwyn, though, that I have done it before (albeit 15 years ago!) so I have the psychological advantage of knowing I CAN do it. I think that makes a difference. I had little conversations with my Dad on the way round, which helped too - he literally pulled me round a number of races way back when, so it was nice to have that connection :A

  • What a great achievement especially on such a cold day as well..totally impressed.

  • Oooooh is there new challenges for 2009?!

    I'm seeing people's signatures... Might need to sign up for the £2009 in 2009...

    Whatatwit: Adoption would be fun! It was a one off purchase and is it put my credit card in the 4 figurs territory for the first time, and I has have found out to my cost, once the mindset has gone into £1000 debit, it's very hard to shift it! :mad:

    I didn't tell her the cost but I'm always petrified that she's going to lose it as she wears it out to Watford High Street sometimes! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Today for me has been nursing a hangover. We had the house Christmas party yesterday which involved 15 people getting through 7 bottles of cider and a two litre bottle of cider and then 20 bottles of red wine... All in the name of mulled goodness... :eek:

    My head doesn't feel so good...:rotfl:
    :beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:

    The fact that it is only November, suggests that you have time for a bit more drinking practice before the REAL house Christmas party.....presumably this was just a (not so) dry run :confused:
