Snow joke you know!

Fair play – what did I do in a previous life to make things soo hard now? I must have been one bad bunny! Snow is falling, so am I – (falling out of good habits that is!) and we are off in less than 6 months! I really am starting to think that we must have been on some kind of hippy trip to ever think this was a good idea! We are neither of us the ‘sporty’ type and personally, I am just bone bloody idle! Still, the lighter evenings are certainly on their way and I know as soon as they arrive properly training will be a lot easier and I will be a lot better – it just seems that everything is against me at the moment! The weather is pants, my sister (and cycling buddy) has moved halfway up the country and although, as I mentioned in my last entry that David has bought a bike so that he can come training with me at least when I go training with Penni we don’t have to flip a coin for who has the shower first!

I know I shouldn’t grump – especially as our online donations page www.justgiving.com/joandpenni is up to £1,865! A HUGE thank you to everyone who has sponsored us – as we are certainly getting there!

Otherwise what’s new? Well, we have a ‘ladies only’ party (you know what I mean by that I am sure!) arranged for tomorrow (13/02/09) but things aren’t going so well for that and I am really starting to a) take things personally and b) think that I should have taken the ticket money up front! The plan is that an old friend will run the party, the ‘guests’ will all pay £5 to come, David will make a curry and then go out with some mates and we will raise a few quid towards the bike ride, and although a fair few folks have dropped out we should still be able to raise the best part of £100 so that’s a tone we wouldn’t have had! (Not including the extra £25 that aunty Pat put on the JustGiving page because she can’t make it – fair play, you are a diamond bird AP!) We also have a make-up party booked for the 20th of March and are planning a jewellery party in April. The Twmpath doesn’t look like it will happen after all which is a shame, but we can’t find anywhere big enough that will let us use a function room for nothing – and in the current economic climate it’s probably not surprising!

Other than that, there is not a lot to report –

So, until the next time; take great care and don't forget our fundraising page www.justgiving.com/joandpenni
