    I don't know yet PaulaB - I did it last year for the RSPCA but to be honest collecting the money was more stressful than training to run! Most people did it through JustGiving online, which was great, but I felt awful asking people to sponsor me. So I might just do it for the 'fun' of it this year.

    Cheers.

    Congrats Toots- it's such a relief when you get those last papers isn't it. My divorce was 12 years ago but still remember that feeling!

    Lol yes Mabel, it's been 7 years since I called it quits, so it's nice to have everything all sorted once and for all. Would have done it earlier if I could have bliddy afforded it!

    woohoo joey and toots, congrats...

    I have a question for all your lovely people tonight. My new venture is sock pets. I'll post pics tomorrow for anyone not knowing what they are, but basically pets made from socks(all new).

    I'm stuck on a name. I have an idea that NO_ONE else is doing on folksy / etsy / misi etc at the mo, so the potential is there from designs that will be unique to me, so feeling good about that.

    I'm stuck on a name. I wanted it to be something like sock pet sanctuary, but that's taken on folksy, and want it to be a kind of adoption centre when peeps buy them if that makes sense. If anyone has any ideas it would be great.
