I am such a bad person, I got fran a box of his favourite chocolates for fathers day. But, he's been away for a month and I got a bit squiffy one night and opened them... so now I'm scoffing the rest of them before he gets in because if he sees them he will know they were originally for him, I'd never buy them for me... I feel sick:D
I did replace his box of chocolates with a Gretchen Wilson CD. We went to see her the night Lily was conceived... so I thought that was a better gift anyway.:A

My friend did the 10k race for life today-she had BC last year...
Wow the amazing things people do.
xxxNevertheless she persisted.0 -
The chocolates just were not destined to be a gift Toto!
...Linda xxIt'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.0 -

Well done to Chloe Moe as well. x
:rotfl:I'm actually quite glad you didn't do the race....no offence:o it was enough to put you off for life....a bloke at the end said it was the most challenging 10k he had done to date....it has just got to be the heat!
Plodding hippo did the race today though (I would love to have met her) - she has just done 100 marathons :eek:Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Chloe did 2k? I didn't know kids so young could do things like that! Well done her, and you of course!
She was 'almost' the youngest there and although not last pretty close..
It was well organised and my friends daughters ran round holding her hands the whole way through....
If you say to Chloe 'run like the wind' she just takes off - its so funny.....I will try to post some pictures of her later...Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

:rotfl: sorry to be trivial....
My garmin kept telling me to slow down and it hasn't registered my time...!
I'm back. I couldn't help but giggle when it told us to slow down.. I've certainly never been told that before :rotfl:
And as for Chloe, what can I say
She was a little gem and she did so well, put us to shame reallyWell done Chloe. A runner starting young ehh :T
It must've been bad if Scorgy said never again. Even Spud the unfit slug never said that
Spud honestly it was awful. There was about 9k of hills and 1k of flat. I would never have made it round if it hadnt been for Sammy. I could've quite easily given up and gone home after the first hil, and that was just round the corner from the start :eek:
Sammy, D only beat you cos I was slowing you downToo much month, not enough Cash!
Make £11000 in 2011 challenge - current total £1358.770 -
And Toto, I did mean to say earlier you really do have an amazing way with words and I think you will make a great midwife.....Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford
