Well! I think I've finally flipped my lid and need to be carted off to the nearest funny farm or put down or something. I have signed up to do a 40 mile sponsered charity ride for the British Heart Foundation on the 18 May (just hope the weather isn't as awful as it is at the moment - yuk!). All I can put this maddness down to is that I was ( Read more... )

It really isn't! It seems that i have suddenly developed an intolrance for alchol. The last two times I have been poorly and physically sick the common denmonator is that i have had a drink! And not a huge amount either! the other week I was really quite poorly and had to be sent home from work when I had only had 1 glass and yesterday I was ( Read more... )

I've done it! I can now put letters after my name!!!! I am now an offical associate Members of the National Association of Licensed Paralegals and possess a HIgher Certificate in Paralegal Studies (Distincition Grade if you please!) All I need to do now is convince work they want me to do the Fellowship Award!

Well having got through the week at work with the various mishaps such as sending the phone for a week it ended (I thought!) with a bang in that one of the Fee Earner's was throwing a strop about nobody doing her work, we were minus 3 secetaries and then the Receptionsit when how sick (funny has she always does that on a Friday!) which meant we all ( Read more... )

Well, I think I have just about recovered from the rigours of holidaying in North Wales. The week was spent volunteering fighting wet lylandi and big trees and hoping that nothing would fall over in the woods onto the line and bringing down the overhead cables ( Read more... )

Well! I heard about this via an egroup I belong to, haven't seen the news much this week what with working late and stuff but when I browsed the BBC Website yesterday and saw the pictures I almost felt like crying. To me Greenwich is the Cutty Sark and the Martime Muesum. I haven't been on her for a few years (nearly 30 actually) but she is (or ( Read more... )

Just to say there's a few photos on my fotopic web site for anybody who wants to see the fun from the weekend. I'm still recovering from all the excitement - ENJOY!

Why is Gloucestershire (or at least the bit I live in)so sparse in convienant safe areas of open water where a person can go swimming?! I'm trying to find somewhere where I can practise my open water swimming ready for my trip in August and am getting frustrated! All the open air swimming pools are heated! and any way don't open until the end of ( Read more... )
