    I didn't see any photos, can I look if you don't mind?

    I got a place for the Loch Ness Marathon in October this year, but unfortunately because of the injury I am not going to make it. So maybe do some training the second half of this year and try the Milton Keynes half marathon March next year. I think I might have been a bit ambitious in my thinking I could do a marathon this year.

    Good luck with it Scorgeous - I was meant to be doing Edinburgh marathon this year but had to drop out due to being ill over the winter and not being able to train. Next year though... fingers crossed!

    Oh and Maz - stop this 'plodder' nonsense! :rolleyes::p

    Quick update - back from the shops. I've bought the fenugreek and just taken two (they really smell like maple syrup so had to force myself to put the lid back on the bottle otherwise I'd have sat and sniffed the bottle till the smell disappeared!

    Am off to feed Evie and then to bake orange drizzle cake (exactly the same as lemon drizzle cake but with oranges instead) and cook the warming veggie curry (IF we have any thai curry paste in the house). Get me - the domestic goddess in training.
