    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Thanks no_control for your contribution!

    mrbadexample, thanking you too.

    OH logged on to his charity page of the official London Marathon website

    and he was amazed at the generosity of donations and all the kind messages.

    He asked "Do you know all these mse people?"
    I replied that well, I've never met any mse'rs but I communicate with lots of them on the Chat Furums, so feel I know 'em.:p

    Bit like having lots of pen friends...

    Well done everyone. :)

    My mate who has 4 kids and hardly any time to herself, did the Marathon this year. She did it in 4 1/2 hours and ran the whole way round without stopping - in that heat!! I absolutely take my hat off to her and everyone else that did it. :j

    LouBlue,

    Your friend got round faster than Malcolm then, as he took a little over 5 hours. :cool:

    That heat? Absolutely! Not to mention Malcolm's painful sunburn...

    She is majorily fit, is always out running, and seeing she is about 40 with 4 kids under the age of 14, I REALLY do not know how she does it!!!!! :eek:
