Heya!
The usual stuff has been happening; training is going well, fundraising has slowed to a trickle but have taken steps to rectify that - watch this space.
I'm blogging today coz I have just spent the last hour or so tearing up and down Kilvey hill and feeling all fit and stuff. Anyway, coming back down the 2nd time, on a particularly muddy yet rocky part of the hill when my footing just goes and I end up falling over scraping my knee. No skirts in work for me for a while then. I'm just glad the weather is crap! I digress - the reason I'm telling you this is not because it's funny that I fell over, it's because of what I was thinking about when I fell: Walking poles. And whether I should purchase some for Great Wall trekkin'. I kid you not, I was weighing up the pros and cons of walking poles. I think it's safe to say that my stingy knee has made up my mind for me; I'm going shopping.

Cake Sale Day!
Howdy!
I am one tired bunny. I spent the entire evening last night (and into the wee small hours of this morning) baking cakes for a Cake Sale that I held in the reception area of my place of work today.
I made my speciality fresh cream, fresh strawberry Victoria sponge cake which sold before I even set up the stall! My lovely boss bought it for £15 then charged the guys in the office £1.00 per slice so that alone made me £22.00! Fab! I also made cookies and a millionaire shortcake (which looked a mess but sold well!). My lovely friends made fairy cakes, muffins, chocolate Guinness cake (yum!) more millionaire shortcake, carrot cake, spiced ginger and treacle cake, lemon cake and more cookies. My mum made fairy cakes and her infamous fruit cake and I sold it as 'a taste of my childhood'! That went down well. And my mums friend made some lovely Welsh cakes. I had a queue of about 40 hungry workers before I'd even set up the table! It was a huge success and I raised £227.01 towards the cause! Amazing! Thank you to all who contributed and supported me with this!
I'd also like to say thanks to a couple of people who have donated on my just giving page who are not on facebook - Alun and Steven - thank you!
Well, No rest for the wicked so I'd better go and do some of my daily walking training stuff.
Feeling good about the whole thing though!
:O)

I've given up trying to figure out waht day it is....
For those who are interested - I have still been training and raising money. Doing a cake sale on Friday that should be fun.
That is all.
That is all.
