    Lambing is finished for this year. Not sure if I'll do it next year and have to see if I'm asked. Just waiting for the dosh to hit my account and then hopefully that will kill the M&S card off.

    Hired some electric bikes yesterday and cycled 26 miles round Kielder water. The bikes were excellent and the weather gorgeous but have to say that my @rse is killing me today!

    Off to London at the weekend for DD1 to run the marathon in aid of Macmillan.

    DD2 is still having a ball in NZ and has sent me a video of her skydive jump.

    Good news on M & S card nearly being gone.
    Well done on all that cycling.

    Back from London and DD1 ran the marathon in 5 hours 42mins. Bless her she was knackered and has felt like she's got the worst hangover for the last 3 days. We walked 5 miles on the day just supporting her, which I know is nothing compared to what she's done.

    The M&S card is dead apart from a small amount of interest.

    The totals for the other cards are as follows and all at 0%
    Lloyds 1495
    HSBC 700
    Santander 1173
    Barclays 765 I'm going to focus on this one next

    Had an awful week leading up to the bank holiday and not been in a good place, hopefully nothing will come of it but feeling better now.

    The weather has been great this week and very envious of the people staying in the Skye house.

    DD1 has had a couple of days in the lakes and climbed Helvelyn. She's making the most of the last bit of time in the UK. Sob!

    Making some progress on the cards. Booked tickets to go to Ladies Day at the races on the 26th May. Had a lovely time last year.

    Thanks for reading Beanie, I think I'd've stopped posting if you weren't reading

    Struggling to get a taxi for Ladies Day so have booked a room near the location, which would probably equate to the taxi cost.
