Walking Again?????

Well will you look at that there's me doing that walking thing again!!! I’m feeling a little bit ill at the moment.

Garry and I set out at 8 this morning to go to Sefton Park to walk the route and see how long it would take us to get there: unfortunately the rain was precipitating in Liverpool when we got out of Central Station.

We had a little discussion park or home?
Errr lets see rainy park or dry home, home I think. So we turned around and went back into the station and got the next New Brighton Train.

Now how many of you thought I would say we got off the train and straight on to a bus? Doubting Thomas’s all of you; I suggested we walk home from Wallasey Village train station. It took us 51mins I am really proud of that. I had to walk up part of St Hilary’s Brow that’s a big hill.

Don’t I look smart in my Make-A-Wish t-shirt and hat?

15 Days to go

This time on the 16th September I will have finished my 5Km run thingy and be fast a sleep in bed. Maybe.



I walked from Seacomb Ferry to New Brighton Lifeboat Station today and it took me 67 minutes. I am going to have to improve on that.

Garry and I are going to Sefton Park again tomorrow to see how long it takes us to get there and and how long it takes me to walk the course.

I must remember not to hold his hand because I wont be holding it in the race.

Do you think he might let me have an ice cream if I beat today's time?
No I didn't think so. oh well.

I am off to bed now have to be on a bus at 8:30 in the morning, which means we will have to have breakfast and leave the house by 8.10.

Nite nite

No I never got to walk the other day a little thing called Garry happened. He got me so ANGRY that I even forgot to put my trainers on so I couldn't even try to do any practice walks home.

Flip-flops are ok for just slobbing around but are dammed uncomfortable for proper walking.

I might try again on Saturday.

Walking

I think I might walk from Moreton to Arrowpark hospital today. I am not sure how long it is but that should give me a sort of ruff Idea of how far 5Kg is.

Then I will get the bus to the gym and depending how I feel I will walk home with Garry.

I'll let you know how I did later.

I saw Val Yippi

Tuesday 14th

I had lunch with Val today, I haven't seen her for ever such a long time, I'm sorry I ever said "she only had to ring if she had any news" I didn’t mean it like that I just didn’t want her to feel obliged to keep ringing me if she didn’t want too. I really do miss Val.

I took Val to Mikey's and showed her the jewellery she liked it as well and said it would look lovely with my dress.

I must get hold of Gem and ask her what she thinks of them.

Shopping

On Saturday I took Kaitlyn over to Liverpool just to change a pair of shorts. Yes you've guessed it, I didn't just do that Kuwe had a ride on the tea cups in Clayton Square, we had a look in the Orange shop (they have this dead cute little pink phone). I did nearly buy it but the assistant kept insisting I buy a £10 sim card as well. I don't need a new sim or phone really I just wanted a back phone if I was unsure of the area I was going too, or if I am going to do something where I might loose my phone, like the run in September.

We had a nosey around town for a while, had lunch in the Welkin and then we went and strutted our stuff around the Metquarter. Kaitlyn is 8 and she loved the designer shops and the stuff they sell till I showed her the price of some of the things (kids grow up so fast these days).

There is a shop in there called Mikey that sells jewellery and things. I found a really nice necklace it ONLY cost £45, there is also a bracelet and a ring to match. After a discussion we decided that it would be nice for Gemma's wedding but I would have to have Gemma's OK for it. I mean to say, I can't out do the bride now can I?

I really enjoyed shopping with Kaitlyn; I will have to take her again some time.

Scary Photo Time

It's been 6 months or so since I started to the keep fat thingy and I have some new photos for you to a squint at.

I can't see much difference but others say they can.

The picture on the left is now and the other is the one from Feb.

My tummy doesn't stick so much now
I can put my knees together I haven't been able to do that for yearsI thought my hair would have grown longer by now. A year to go maybe it will look better then.Will you look at those legs they look so much better know and the saggy bum isn't so saggy
I am still working out and trying to get my speed up for the walk. I hope I can keep up with everyone and not be the last home!!!
