    Spudlicious did you put your name down for the London marathon? I'm mightily impressed!:T

    Yep, in a moment of madness or bravery....not sure which :rotfl:

    Would do it to raise funds for a heart charity ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Thanks Sammy, but once again it's the techie geeks to the rescue! Hopefully the info I've got there will help, all it is is a simple download!

    Anyone else watching House? Eeeeew, I never want to have sex again, my skin's not great but at least it's still there!

    I knew....I'm sure you posted it somewhere? Or maybe you just told me.

    Actually you may have more chance than you expect. I'm sure last year someone on the running thread said it's harder to get in if you are a decent-but-not-elite runner, as there are so many people applying who estimate a finishing time in the mid range. If you are either side of the mid-range, there are less applicants. And obviously they don't want everyone finishing together, so presumably they accept a good cross section of abilities. If you were fairly cautious about your finishing time, you could have a higher chance of getting in?

    The sofa thing sticks out way too much, Mum doesn't like the sideboard where it is nor the plants on it, we have too many bits of furniture that have to fit around and then I have too much e bay stuff and some how the whole room just looks smaller.

    Trouble is I should have prepped more for school and now really feel it has been total waste of a day.

    You are right about today being a bad day. I shall write it off and start again tomorrow.

    So, if I gave a finishing time of 3 days, I'm in trouble :eek: :rotfl:
