    hey sally - i'm feeling fraudulent today..... i took Erin for her swimming lessons and while she was in for half an hour, i decided to use the time for a run... i went out with good intentions, but stopped after 10minutes, it was windy as hell at the beach and it was impossible running in it.... i carried on and walked the route. i will have to get out tomorrow for a run instead.... pah! hope the weather is better tomorrow........

    How can that be fraudulent Maz, you went out, you ran as much as you could in conditions and then you still walked...sounds all good to me! And you are going to try and run tomorrow too! Far Far more than some people will have done!

    I took Bea swimming this morning, then dashed around town trying to get bits for my mums 60th next sat, came home and then spent 2 hours raking leave and there were 6 huge bags. Just thinking of all the calories I might have burnt off :) Now I am chilling before I put tea on which is going to have to be soon going by the growling my stomach is making

    Oh and DH is being unusually helpful at the moment....yesterday he cleaned the bathrooom (1st time ever I think in this house) and today he hand washed the car ....shock horror!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Yes having a party although she organised it but I am doing most of the food and arranging, decorating and sorting all the bits out. In a big hall other side of town which will be great as we can both drink and get a taxi home. Will have to do my long run on Saturday though I think as there will be no way I can get up sunday morning after a night on the booze!

    Yes I guess he is trying...in more ways than one ;)
