Heading to New Forest this weekend and doing the half marathon there on Sunday. Will have my support crew waiting at the finish with a beer; it will be my first one for a month. And to think 12 months ago I was getting amongst it in the beer halls of Munich. Very quiet month for me indeed.

Ooh NICE, I am very jealous.Originally posted by SallyAnne View PostI finish my gig today (yeehah!!) and I'm off to that London on Sunday....so tonight will be a nice, quiet, civilised mooch in the house.
But tomorrow will be an 11 am start in Sunderland, all day lash fest, me and Mr SA getting up to all kind of mischief, acting completely inappropriately and showing ourselves up by about 5 I would have thought
Awesome!!Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Skittles night tonight in local pub with neighbours, Saturday have some stuff to do at the BTL, visit me old mum, then picking up new (secondhand INKSPE) car and driving back to Winchester. Sunday doing stuff on the car and watching the GP....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
