    Well done Bun. When will you hear that you've passed?
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    i have a brownie duty tonight.... i wonder if i should wear earplugs!?

    i'm thinking on getting mum or big g to come and collect her afterwards and i intend on running home..... have a nice 3.5mile route home planned.... but then it means my car is left up there... so really we need a lift up, and then someone to come back for Erin....

    or i could just do a round the village run on my own... i suppose that would make more sense, saving inconveniencing everyone...... if i rushed home then i'd still have 45 mins to an hour of daylight so could easily do 3 miles.......

    sorry, just thinking aloud!

    Sally - how are you getting on with the FLM list?

    no sim card for me yet........

    although me n erin did get our race numbers and championchips for our races on saturday!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Bun - don't worry about not finishing them all, it's better to be more correct and not finish a few rather than complete them all and get some wrong.

    Well Maz, I have been and bought energy gels and some drink which I have used in training which didn't give me heartburn! Still need to decide what I am runing in, phone hotel to make sure they have a bed for me :eek: and see if breakfast is included, cant find it anywhere on the booking! Sure there are other bits I need to do as well, just making lists as I go

    Taken DD to meet her sch friends at the playpark! Been up in the loft and got all the things down I have been saving for friend if she ever had a girl. Actually I am excited about sunday, sure by saturday I will be cacking my pants

    It will be good if you can car share Kayleigh, no doubt much cheaper than the train.
    Did you find any good MBs?

    Unfortunately, it looks like the guy is going by train so I won't be able to share with him, which is a shame. The funny thing is, advance tickets for this week are actually more expensive than the ones for last week were when they were available. :rolleyes:

    I've got a MB set up on a German footie team which should get me about £28 in profit or so. The match isn't until Tues night though so I won't know the result until Weds morning, just before I set off back. So it'll be a bit tight for getting the money back into my account before the weekend. It should clear in time though. I'll just have to hope the team loses, then I can withdraw from the lay bookies, which'll be quicker.

    BB, I applied for AQA and have been sent an application pack with some questions to answer:eek::eek:

    I don't think I will bother, they are so difficult:o:o

    If that is what they are like for real then I will be making about 40p an hour.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
