    I need that diet! haha!

    I haven't done much running Jemma, I normally train for the Women's Challenge in London in September but it's not on this year because of the ruddy olympics! Damn it! Thought about doing Race for Life but I like to run for unusual or understated charities like Action Duchenne (which I do for my 3yo godson as he has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy)

    I have a cold too but it's just sniffles and sneezes at the mo :'( xxx

    I'm doing Race for Life just to get me started, but I agree with the idea of fundraising for lesser known charities. The olympics is ruining everything... a local festival isn't on this year either because they don't think they will sell enough tickets. Well what about the people who aren't going to the Olympics? We need entertainment too!

    and the people that couldn't get tickets even if they wanted them!

    I might do race for life but it's gone up again in starting fee :( xxx

    I paid £15... how much was it usually? It's my first one, but I figured it was worth it to motivate me... and I've got a few friends that are going to sign up now and we will make a day of it if the sun is shining, bbq etc etc :)

    Haha, I have the opposite problem! ;) the weight goes there when I gain, but never leaves again. It's getting rather unmanageable :o:rotfl::o

    I'm still going a bit backwards with both the debts and the weight :( Will give proper figures for both after payday (tomorrow) and things have been transferred, etc.

    Hope everyone's ok. Sorry I've not been about much. I have a habit of slinking off when things aren't going well :o though I know that's exactly when I need to be here the most.

    I think I'm still just generally a bit down and not really concentrating on anything much at all. I have so much to do: keeping up with finances, dieting, planning the wedding, managing work politics, running the home.....nothing that thousands of people aren't doing all the time, but I'm really finding life a struggle at the moment so revert to my old "head in the sand" tactics.

    I updated my finances and spreadsheets for the first time in 2 weeks today, so that's a big step forwards (even if the numbers aren't pretty ;))

    And on top of all that, my cat came home filthy, wet and bleeding last night. Think he may have got himself stcuk in the mud of the local pond or something. So praying that the cut (on his foot but can't get a good look - maybe a pulled claw?) doesn't warrant a trip to the vet :( I've given him pain meds and he seems to be ok....Poor guy. And now my home looks like a mud monster has been let loose :rotfl: I've never seen anything like it :eek:
