I'm Back!!

Well it has been a number of years since I was last sat here tapping away at my keyboard sharing my stories with you all.

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!!!

In the last 5 years since my last post there has been a divorce, lots of travelling: New York, Venice, Rome, and a marriage... Which resulted in more travelling: Vegas, Hawaii and Los Angeles.


This morning I am sat at my desk, enjoying my not so conventional breakfast, (don't tell the trainers at the gym) trying to function after about 4.5 hours sleep isn't possible so I need it..

I thought I would take a picture to demonstrate how tired I look, but got the shock of my life when I saw the face staring back at me.  Then it dawned on me, I now know why so many people use Snap Chat.. I always thought it was for the silly little filters that overlays dog, rabbit or cat features over your face and other silly little things... But in actual fact Snap Chat seems to have this ability of making you look good even when you have dark circles under your eyes and no make up on..... (proof in the picture)


If only I could wake up on days like today and pull on a real life filter.... or perhaps society should stop putting so much pressure on women and young girls to look perfect.  Sometimes we just want to not bother and just have a day off of trying to be perfect..

I think today I will sit and ponder how to  break from societies expectations, or curl up in a ball...

Stay tuned though as there will be more coming from me over the coming weeks, including training for the Moon Walk next year... and even the possibility of climbing a mountain (all in the name of charity)......😃😃

Till next time..

Run Run Run!!!

Sunday 9 June - my Race for Life.. I was ready, even after my little holiday, even though I didn't get much running in during the holiday I did a fair amount of walking and I managed to be good and not over indulge in anything other than Thrill Rides :-) Got to Abington ready to hit the ground running so to speak... It was a cool morning overcast with a slight breeze blowing.  Everyone around me had coats and jumpers on... I didn't need one I was so excited for this run... Run started and it was going well,  however, I don't know why so many women decide to start with the runners in the front of the race only to end up walking the rest of the way... due to this I had to overtake large groups of walkers along the way who tend to walk on the flat even path.  This means I need to overtake them on uneven surfaces, half way round I managed to twist my ankle. This wasn't going to stop me finishing the race though, so I carried on through the pain and completed it in 7

Another night on the Town.... Can i handle it !!!!

Yes it seems my younger counterparts have surfaced and are keen to go out again this Saturday night.. So am I up for it again???  Why not.  I don't get to do this very often and I'm sure I can handle one more night out on the Town... and besides its a long weekend ahead so I will have more time to recover... Of course now  I will need to find something to wear.... Any suggestions??? Thankfully I wont have any snow to deal with this weekend - well so far there is none forecast which means I wont freeze half as much..  and of course it will be safer walking around in heels.. Well some shopping is on the cards the next few days I think.. Question is can these young ones keep up with me???  I hope so - but they don't seem to make them like they used too...

Massive Night!!!

As you know my week was manic, I hardly slept all week constantly thinking of the big event I was organising for Saturday afternoon. I got up rather early on Saturday morning, following a few hours of broken sleep.  Got to work at 7.00am and the day started full swing....  At that moment I never envisaged being awake and on my feet for 24 HOURS!!!! The day went so much smoother than I could have expected, so much so, that there is talk of doing it again next year... BRING IT ON!!! When I eventually got home around 5.00pm I had a quick shower, bite to eat and started my prep for the night out on the town with the girls.  Wasn't sure how long I would last but I was determined to go out and have a good night... It was a fab night, started with drinks at someones house, met some lovely new girls we just hit it off and it was fab, one was a mad maniac just like me, who walks in to a place grabs a drink and heads straight to the dance floor!! We went from one place to the next
