    Hi Poor, walk on Sat was good but very warm - kinda glad we're going to be starting at midnight as it'll be cooler (hopefully!!).. bit achy when I got home but fine the morning after. Might take advantage of nice weather and day off and do a 5-6 miler today. Glad yours went well, how long till your Moonwalk now?

    Just two weeks for me, am doing a slow sauntering ten mile walk next week (involving lots of breaks for pedalos and ice creams) and then it is the 'big night' the week after. Is it four weeks to go for you??

    The heat was hideous yesterday wasn't it - we had bumbags on (no mocking please, practicality over style people) and sweaty bum just isn't nice. We also managed a spot of heatrash and sunburn between us too (but only a little bit)

    I'n a Radio 2 fan but OH has every radio in the house tuned to Virgin so I'm used to listening to that now :rolleyes:

    Retune to R2 and then remove the dials from the radios, that will sort him out.

    Genius :p

    To be honest, Virgin isn't too bad. They play lots of music that I like and the presenters don't annoy me. The advertising gets a bit redundant but at least they don't advertise as much as local radio stations do.

    Six weeks (I think?) - 15th June. Look forward to hearing how you get on :)

    Yeah, it's not entirely pleasant in this weather, I had a rucksack on and ended up with a very sweaty back... and bum :o

    Talking of bums I must get off mine and do something before the day passes me by - catch you all later! x

    Good morning everyone

    Had a really productive day yesterday, made a batch of chilli and froze 3 portions (having fourth portion for dinner tonight when all the flavours will have developed nicely). Also made spinach and feta pie with filo pastry (never used it before and it's a little bit fiddly, but the pie tasted delicous!

    Was really overcast this morning, but has brightened considerably, so might go and cut the hedge (it's 5" high and 120" long so it'll keep me occupied for an hour or so!

    Have a wonderful bank holiday everyone!

    first assignment done and dog walked. Wet and warm here now, although it felt very peaceful and calm in the park - kind of like an old fashioned Sunday afternoon feeling.

    Going to do my second assignment now.

    OH is huffing and puffind away - remember the Kevin and Perry sketch where Kevin has to wash the car?? That's my OH and getting on with the job of decorating!

    aha............found it ;)
