  • Good Monring.

    I had scrambled eggs. not sure it was a good idea.

    MUST get to the post office.

    How come the forum is back early?

    And DD, I walked my first 5km last year? I think they are normally full of people who aren't hugely in to running so I don't think you would be the only one walking/running

    Thanks Buffy, that is certainly encouraging, maybe I should register and think, what the hell? If I run a bit then great but no biggie?

    Its the food I am looking forward to. Got my costume all ready, bought of Ebay and will be back on there on Monday:D

    Some people have paid over £70 for their outfits:eek:

    This is mine although I only paid £10 for mine and the feather headress on the model is about 4x the size of the one that actually came with the dress, I think the ones I got are bloomin chicken feathers they are that small:rotfl:

  • Oh, don't you just love these moments... Elliot was running around and getting a little bit hyper so I asked him if he was tired and wanted to go to sleep - he went and climbed in his pushchair by himself (big 3-wheeler that lays flat, has napped in it for months rather than his cot), pulled the blanket from the hood over himself, and went to sleep! :T :T :T usually it requires a fair amount of persuasion and rocking or walking to get him to go off... peace at last.

    So if my light is on please kick as this is a chance to study :eek:

    Off up to The White Rose Centre soon to return the white gold chain that my hubby got me for Christmas that snapped a few weeks ago :(

    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.
