    Sorry I have not been on over the long weekend but I was enjoying it being off ... a little too well on Saturday though oh dear lol!

    My boy has been approved to be adult yellow belt. He has fought so hard for this and trained so much and the only thing going against him was because he is 6 years old and he proved them all wrong :) 10th June :) is official.

    Bit of a spendy weekend but tight purse now. I also hit my target for fundraising for my granda for 10k in June :)

    How is everyone xx

    That's amazing news for your little man Monz :)
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭
