New Year, New Start!

OMG, I didnt realise it was quite so long since I last blogged!

Happy New Year everyone :-) 2009 is certainly going to be a busy one.

It is AGES since I last got out on my bike - after my exams in December I was madly rushing around trying to get ready for Christmas and then I came down with a nasty flu bug which knocked me for six, I really didnt feel well for around 2 weeks which is so unusual for me I cannot remember having been ill for that long ever before. Still, I am almost back to 100% now and keen to get back into the swing of things..

Santa was very good to me (Thanks Hubby) ;-) and amongst other things, I received some new leggings (with compulsory padded bum!) and some toe bars - or whatever the correct term is - for my bike. Both will be tried out very soon.

On the fundraising side, things are going well - the 2 curry nights last year were good fun & successfully raised over £300 between them. I also sold some Christmas cards and notebooks which I had made and my Secret Santa at work gave me a £20 donation instead of "wasting £10 on some tat you dont want" :-) Thank you John, that was a very generous and much appreciated gesture :-) Once I have updated my justgiving page my total so far will be over £1400 :-)

Onwards & upwards.....
