    Good luck to you all - you will sail through the streets of London and pass the winning line before you know it. xxxxx

    Day 1 of Mad 4 Day Mania for me starts today. Sorted the learner packs for my teaching on Tuesday (why did I agree to teach a 7 hour course?!!) and washing load number 2 is on. Next is make the cake for my course on Monday night and whilst that is cooking do the washing up, clean bathroom (brother coming tomorrow - must clean it!!) and then start AQA'ing for the day. Take Charlie around 4.30pm and then take OH to town around 5.15pm, roast a piece of gammon I have soaking at the moment, then go back to AQA'ing until either a) OH wants a lift back in whatever state he is in or b) my brain explodes from AQA'ing.

    Oh, and remember to take cake out of oven at the right time!!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Morning Spudlett, dont stand sideways mind we wont be able to see you soon at this rate:D

    Hows it going? I need to do something as I put the same jeans on that I was wearing in Manchester and I couldnt fasten them this morning:o

    I know exactly what it is though.........lazy takeaways:o:o they are really bad for you/fattening and cost a fortune but when you are knackered and cant be arsed to cook then its so easy.

    Need to be better organised I think. Off to Asda today so I will try and get some easy things to cook when I am teaching on a night, cause these are the danger days. And the weekend too.

    God I am a crap wife.

    Hello!
    Nice day here too, we're trying to figure what the hell to do with our back garden

    What do you reckon?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Apart from chuck out the dead Christmas tree and broken umbrella I mean.

    Hubby wants to 'tier' it but I'd rather leave it all as one so the kids can run around and play.

    The huge retaining wall at the back isn't our responsibility thank goodness.
