Thanks Paul. Cool, Will you be stopping for a bit for a brew n catch up then?

 

[Paul.M]

Yes why not? I'm going over to buy some power tools and I'll go to yours afterwards but I don't know what time yet, I'll sort that out through the week and be in touch.

Also show you my new toys lol.

Well, today was an amazing experience. Thousands of people all gathered to try and make a difference in peoples lives, what an amazing atmosphere. Saw some truly inspirational people out there today running. It goes to show after everything we are bombarded with day in day out in the press, there is still so much good in the world too! A massive Thank you to those who Sponsored us, we ran a few km, but it's only thanks to those who are willing to throw cash at these events that the difference can be made. So a truly big Thank you from both me and my Cousin.

No we should be thanking you for making a difference, well done.

It's people like you Amanda that makes a difference to the living although you've suffered the greatest loss yourself.

What you've done today takes heart and you've made your mum proud. Hold your head up high mate, well done.

I'll resist commenting on that one...

Well done, juice time!
6 hours lying in a bath full of ice and you'll be fine.

It took my Mum's passing for me to realise just what an inspirational person she was, and how much I wanted those positive aspects of her life to live on. She dedicated so much of herself to trying to help others and neglected her own self in some ways. As a kid I don't really recall a month going by where there wasn't some Charity event she was organising or petitioning for those much less fortunate. It sometimes could drive us nuts! So if she's looking down proud of me for today, I hope too she knows it's only through her example and I'm a million times more proud of her and the lessons I can gain from her having lived and been my Mom. The fact still remains though, we could have gone out today and ran to the end of the earth, but it's down to those who donate their hard earned cash who make the major difference.

That is a very inspiring post, one of the best posts that I've read in a long time. A simple "thanks" and a "like" does not do it justice.

I stretched to some stubby's from Aldi Archy, had a nice hot bath and now wondering if I really want to drink the s#i*e? Not holding out much hope they'll be very good for £3. Might chance one though, just in case they're actually ok. Purely for medicinal purposes to ease mi muscles of course!
