Hi all

I'm running the London marathon for the first time next year. I'm doing the 24 week beginners running programme from the Virgin website which involves training 6 out of 7 days a week (5 shortish week runs and a longer Sunday run). At the moment I'm only running about 2 or 3 miles a day. I normally go in the evening when my other half gets home, but sometimes do daytime runs with my son in the buggy when I know I won't be able to get out in the evening.

I just wondered if any other mums are doing anything similar and fancied joining forces? Please PM me if you'd be interested in this - it would be nice to have company now that it's so dark in the evenings, and for motivation of course!

Whilst I'm writing, I will also be shameless and plug my sponsorship page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/HollieStroud I'm raising money for Kids Company (they work therapeutically with vulnerable inner-city children and young people, and are founded by the wonderful Camila Batmanghelidjh). Any donations will be very greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hollie

  Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.

  Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂

  I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found. Not sure if all would consider that a good thing. Not a lot new happening .... When you back in Blighty?

  In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage. 1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts. 4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
