    I just watched it, well done to you both for bringing it to our attention. :)

    And I hope something gets done about it, by the Government.

    I saw it Alex! We're in the same region. I do so hope the Government really does take notice and see's just how vital a role you student Carers play for all the Sarahs there are in the country. More than that - let's hope they ACT!

    You two make a wonderful couple :love: good luck to the pair of you.

    update for my cycle ride
    Since revision for my exams has started my cycling has stopped and I've allowed a bit of flab to develop (I blame exams, but the real explanation is beer) Once my exams are over with Friday 16th I can start getting fit again.

    Thanks a lot to all those who have sponsored me, it is truly gratefully appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Alex Robinson
  • Just to let you all know, I completed the 30 mile ride in just under 3 hours. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be doing the 60 mile ride next year.

    Once again thanks to all those who sponsored me
