From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread, Part Deux

Well done 2cats' DD, that is an amazing opportunity!

Well I finally updated my blog. I'm taking Dilli's advice and getting a few more ready now to post through the week. I love writing, and this is the first time I've had opportunity to try my hand at it since school, many many years ago. I find it hard to get started, but once there is a line written, I'm off! I find it really relaxing, not sure why.

Went running this afternoon and found it really difficult. We did the 5k in 41 minutes last week, 43.5 on Thursday, and today I wanted to beat the 41. But it was SSOOOOOO windy, despite the lovely sunshine, and it was really difficult to get my breathing right. I ended up stopping for a minute twice, which really annoys me as I know I can get round without stopping. But when we got back round I was over the moon to find we had done it in 38.5 !! So I must have been running faster than normal, which is probably why I was struggling.

There were a lot of tourists there when we got back to the bridge, and it hit me that I totally take the view there for granted. The sun was shining on the hills and the water was choppy with the wind, and it was really beautiful. I live in such a lovely place - in a big city but with countryside just 10 minutes away in 3 directions.

Life is good at the moment. I'm sure it is because Spring is here.

Happy mothers day to the mummys

I have just caught up with all the posts since I stopped reading last night. You don't half go through some pages don't you.

I was thinking of having a look on ebay for any bargins been sold together, thinking of splitting them and relisting them but I really should be doing my disertation.

I want to start making something as well just for fun at the moment.............. hmmmm i wonder what to choose.

OMG just had confirmation through that DD has a place on the youth orchestra in France in the summer. She'll be away for 11 days rehearsing with the orchestra and doing two concerts at the end. Her French and music teachers will be thrilled, but I don't have to be psychic to predict that I will spend the first 11 days of August worrying myself sick about her.

When I got married my hubby had a tash and he fell asleep in the back of the van on the way home from work,so his workmates dyed his tash with pink stuff they put on the trees(he worked in forrestry),it still had a pink tinge on the big day but he refused to shave it off

She plays violin (and saxophone and piano, but violin in the orchestra). She is high as a kite tonight - chattering away about it 19 to the dozen. Hope she isn't going to be like this until August!
