    Beats my chicken nuggets, garlic bread and scrambled egg that I cobbled together :rotfl:

    I didn't mean that the childcare would prevent Memorygirl from going with this fabulous challenge and opportunity, just that organising it with no money to do so is a separate challenge all in itself. She can't exactly let randomers off the internet mind her children:rotfl:

    I'm not meaning to be negative about any of this by the way, I'm just pointing out problems I see so that solutions can be found.


    @hypno I must read your diaries, I haven't done because they are so fast moving but just like memorygirl's diary it's clearly worth the time invested for the inspiration and motivation. I do know that you are responsible for the Shred dvd (an exercise regime). People everywhere keep mentioning that!!

    Sorry guys,

    just remembered that I am actually a good ol' Marxist. If I were Karl Marx I would be saying to you:

    "We don't have anything to lose than out chains.'

    Can it get worse? May be but I refuse to think about it. Can it get worse because of what we are doing with Mr, Big? No! So, lets go for it with all we have.

    Where did you meet Aunty Bob mummy?

    Err on the internet dear

    Is she a real aunty? And why is she called Bob?

    Errr:rotfl::rotfl:

    But i am a teacher and can get references- :)

    Hypno, when is your marathon? If you are doing Dublin your body should be your temple at the moment. Nuggets? Garlic bread? (Oh I so fancy some chocolate...)

    Marathon is not until May for Edinburgh, and NEXT October for Dublin.

    My body is not so much a temple as a small overgrown chapel in the back of beyond.......slightly neglected but with potential for development.........:D

    the baby is now 2 - and in his own room (yipee!!!!) and even better, he's weaned.

    i think if i had to travel to do some work my mum would catch the kids for a while - after that then i guess paid for childcare would have to be the way to go - but at least by then i would have some money.

    Great, I didn't know you had family nearby who could help at the start. Obviously we won't be worried about how you'll organise childcare when you have £86 an hour to pay for it:)

    Not sure I have time for reading hypno's diary, I want to but I've spent the last 2 hours on here earning £0 an hour but the positive energy is so uplifting:)
