Afternoon So so tired today, insomnia has come back with a vengeance and I haven't slept properly for 4 nights so far, feel like going to bed now but Sophie is due home soon. Managed to drop my phone into my mop bucket full of water this morning, got it out straight away and it still works, but I ca...

Time does go by far too quickly, when I joined here Ashleigh was only 9 and still in primary school, now she has left school altogether and will be 17 in just over 3 months!

Happy to hear that everything is going so well for you guys xx

Hi Jeanette and thanks, this is the first time that my utter stubbornness has been a good trait to have, it means I just refuse to give in

The girls are fine, thank you, growing up far to fast for my liking!

How have you been?

Haha no, not at all! Plenty of time still though and the training is going well so far thanks, have just upped my club night mileage as well as the weekend run, this week's total will be 24 miles by the end of Sunday. Downside is feeling constantly tired and my appetite is through the roof, I get th...

Evening. Wow it's been a long time since I last came here! Glad Dexter had a good day, he is growing up so fast, where has the time gone? My week has been pretty tiring, back at work after 10 days off, plus my training has stepped up a notch, so I am really glad it's the weekend! Not too much planne...

Morning all (just!) How is everybody? Been ages since I've been on here! Been out for a run this morning, just a short one as we're in 'recovery mode' after the 10 miler last Sunday. I am supposed to be doing some housework right now but really don't feel like it and the Sky+ is calling me ;) Need t...

Oh dear, I seem to have got a bit stricter since I wrote that! Ashleigh is now 15 and there's a few things on there I still won't let her do! Oh and I still can't trust Sophie in any rooms by herself and she is now 8!

We're going to Lake Meadows in Billericay on Monday if anyone fancies joining us?

Morning I am off on a sponsored walk with our scout group this morning. We are starting at 10am at Hadleigh castle with the scouts, meeting the cubs at the Three Shells at 12.00pm and the beavers at the Sealife Centre at 12.30pm, then walking to Uncle Tom's Cabin, so if anyone is around at that time...

Afternoon Happy birthday Dexter, hope he's enjoying it x Hope the funeral goes/went ok Tracy x Back to work for me today, really missed walking to school with Sophie this morning, but then she did have to be in at 8.15 so not sure we would have wanted to walk it anyway! Really thought I had come to ...

Morning The fog was awful last night, Louise, coming back from our scout leaders meeting, we could barely see ten feet in front of us, was quite scary! Turns out I was right about our windows not being fitted properly, he had to cut part of the windowsill to get the rad off yesterday and found that ...

I know what you mean about time flying, Booked some holiday from work so I can spend time with Ashleigh while she is on school hols, started with six days, now only have two left! Oh well, I'm only back for one day and then it's the weekend so not so bad I guess. More blitzing the house for me today...

Sophie peels the veg like carrots and potatoes for dinner. Supervised at first to make sure she didn't peel her fingers But now she has got the hang of it she does a pretty good job.

Evening. Hope Josh is ok, Michelle. I agree with Rachel, I don't think 3 years is too soon at all, especially if it means he is happy again. Hope the soreness wears off soon, Jeanette. Thanks for all the get well wishes over the last few days, was feeling so much better this morning so decided to do...

Looked nasty, Kris, did he cry or was he a brave boy? ;) Hope it heals quickly and he's not in too much pain xx Feel rubbish again today, I actually got sent home from my second job yesterday, must have looked as bad as I felt lol. Ashleigh was so good last night night, cooked dinner, did most of th...
