99) started with the cake and children bit.......word of advice for anyone trying this...pick the ages and the kids very very carefully!!!!
Had 4 pre teenagers in the kitchen making fairy cakes-ok-they were edible, they might not have looked much cop but they were edible. Now all I have to do is make another 4 types,but the mess!!!!!!!!!! good god the mess!!!! may I have my nervous breakdown now folks.
The mix was everywhere, the sides, the floor, the door of the oven, the window and the cat!

I have my race for September, a nice short 10km one, hope to do this in 45min or under.This will give me a benchmark for the rest of the races ( methinks). The gym sessions are going well and hope this will up my race time. Am not really looking at distance when training, I know I can run a Marathon ( the Comrades would be good as would the Canadian Death race....but more of that later).
My foot doesn't hurt and I can do anything from a short 30mins through to 1 1/2 hrs depending on my mood.

Maybe I should have put down not to allow children sleepovers lol

Anyway thing are going quite well, the yoga is still a struggle, the service of the car will come as I have just had her brakes done poor little thing.
The flowers are good, nice to be able to treat myself ( and the cat seems to like the taste/the fact they are a toy).

my first foray into the world of cakes (though not decorating) will be merange when my sister comes down.........hang on one cotton picking minute.......fairy cakes are sponge and they don't explode!!!! Right ( said with a steeley determination) I am off to make a very large sponge/fairy cake.
Theoretically, if i just increase the quantity and put it in a different tin as opposed to a cake case it will be a sponge.......wouldn't it?

Races.....looks like my foot isn't healing, the anti inflamatories seem to be great for weight loss ( IF I had an extra weight to loose), but don't seem to be helping the foot. Soooooo, the Jungle is definately out.
I don't want to be the idiot medi lifted out for a minor injury through sheer stupidity when someone who really needs it might not get it. Looks like a race for Sep is going to be out as well.....ho hum, never mind.
Why am I not too bothered? well, I have 2 races booked for October and the one in December ( still struggling for Novemebr though) and have found race from January through till July next year!!!! And some that the sprogs can do as well.

The yoga is starting to get there, not really sure if it is doing me any good but then again I don't know how long it will take before you start to see any results and what those results should be....the things I decide to try without knowing why! Anyway, thought I'd try yoga for flexibility and core strength.

Baking fresh bread is nice and simple and smells so good.
Washing the car........ struggling to do it, but the poor little rust bucket really does need it, I do feel really sorry for my vehicles sometimes ( actually, make that all of the time). I buy them for a maximum of £500 and then proceed to run them into the ground.

What else am I making progress on.....the divorce for a start. No real problems wiht this, the soon to be EX seem to be leaving me well alone after bordering on the Stalking earlier this year. Have had papers from the solicitor stating my NICI will be due 28th August, then 6 weeks and 1 day later my EX can apply for the Absolute.

Mind you folks, am getting a suspicious feeling that things might not be so smooth once he gets his letter from his solicitor, I have a feeling that he might decide to stop the whole thing as he did say that this was to 'teach you a lesson that there are consequences to your actions'......honestly, with my track record with blokes I might as well start a psycho check list before dating anyone!!!.

Let's see, mmmm, magazines.....I seem to be holding out on buying them, as long as my Runners World comes through the door I am happy, though I might change my Zest for one of the Triathalon mags as this is something that looks like great fun.

Maybe I ought to start posting pictures on here so that people can see that I am making progress. I don't own a digital camera.......now what, ah, maybe learning to use the camera on my mobile mihgt be an option ( then all I have to do is learn to transfer from phone to here dum dum dum!!!)
Am I really that technologically incompetent-YES.
I can take things apart and rebuild them ('we can rebuild him'- now, what was that from, it'll come back to me), I can fix cars and most machines but computers,, ewwww no chance.

Right, off to try and use this camera thingy. This should mean that hopefully I will be able to post pictures of the Tae kwon do grading.
For anyone interested I am currently Yellow belt, and hopefully in Sep will grade to become Green with yellow tag....watch this space.

Have booked in to see Othello in October with Lenny Henry as Othello.

Have booked to run The Grim ( absolutely bloody brillient race) in December. All I need to do is find races for Sept,Oct and November.
Should have been running the Jungle Marathon In October but doesn't look like my foot is going to heal in time for the Doctor to sign my fitness certificate. I might see if I can do a 5K at the end of the month to see how it goes but am worried of putting myself back further with the training.

I would love to run Paris Marathon in April 2010.....would that count toward my revisit Paris as well?

Seem not to be updating this as I should....maybe I should have put that down as something to do....writie my blog everyday!! Think I would have failed.

Am going to have to get a digital camera soon: it is one of my things and then start uploading pictures to here.

Am managing to bake the bread, and stay off the fullfat/diet coke and so far the flowers thing is not too bad, they seem to last.

What to tackle next?
