    The 20 was fine, as was the 5 miles on Monday, mind you, this morning my ribs were so sore I had problems getting out of bed:rotfl:that'll teach me....maybe.

    Have an interview Thursday for a part time job that will fit round my race training and my working from home.

    And for that race, I think, no, I KNOW, I have bitten off far more than i can chew.
    I have decided to try and raise £500K in 5 years for the British Legion by dojng ultra-marathons:eek::eek:, my first is in April:eek:

    On the MSE side yesterday was a NSD, and today I have made a PAD of £90:T
    Proud to be dealing with my debt:eek:

    TOTAL: £6,437 (04/01/2013) slowly but surely it is decreasing:D
  • Happy birthday to DD - hope you all have a good day and enjoy the dvd evening!

    :DOh dear oh dear oh dear small children and their bithday parties.....my poor house looked like a bomb site:D but DD2 loved her party so I ma happy.

    Have had a weekend of NSD's:j Sat I was umpiring at a competition and today was spring cleaning.
    I have my new bank account and caard but no pin number....but heyho....2 out of 3 isn't bad.

    I have no money till Tuesday though as a paymentt has gone ouut of my account that shouldn't and the bank are refusing to hand it back but then again that should make tmw a NSD so they will be racking up this month.

    Life is ok, it can be a struggle at times, especially money wise, but the kids are happy, I have made freinds down here and hehehehehe my sister has a moving in present for me hehehehehe she is getting me a kitten:rotfl:not sure how saggy baggy cat will take it though.

  • A little confession now yours is over: I used to dread birthday parties! That's one bit of having young children I don't miss at all :o

    Are things still ok with the move?

    Cheers

    good news about the kitten.... i'm sure your old cat will get over it eventually, mine did when my sister bought him (the cat that is) two new friends when his old best friend died and he was pinning.
    Have the children named the kitten yet?
  • I imagine saggy baggy cat will get used to it! Have you seen the kitten yet - what's he/she like?

    LT/CBM:
    No idea what the kitten is like but my sister keeps sniggering and asking me to come up at Easter....now she could just want to se DD's....but she has been spending a lot of time in the cats protection place kitten hunting (for me) and cat hunting (for her). So we shall see:D

    the move is looking good, have had a MAJOR spring clean of kids clothes and junk, need to start on tha garage this week to make sure and I have actually started packing.

    Had a NSD on Monday and then went for a pub lunch on Tuesday with a geographically challenged bloke after our run on ...mmmmmmmmmmmm...food was good

  • I hope you've got a sense of direction if you're running with a geographically challenged bloke - you could end up anywhere! Yay to scrummy pub lunches :D.
    Good luck with the spring cleaning / house move preparations!

    i've never heard of a geographically challenged men, cute, ugly, smellie, fit are all descriptions i've heard but not the above. One hopes it's only whilst he's running he's geographically challenged especially if you happen to hit it off. nudge nudge
