Right then - for those of you with a sense of irony/humour/the bizarre....

Jenny and I are running this weeks Race For Life at North Weald Airport in aid of Breast Cancer Research - this is a 3 mile run (ok, we've been practicing!!!) and we are aiming to raise Â£500 - we're up to about Â£400 so far and IF ANYONE would like to sponsor us then please put a cheque in the post to me
Rachel Singer
44 Richmond Avenue, London , E4 9RS made payable to Breakthrough and we will send it on with many thanks.

Thanks,

Benson and Jenny

Thanks nonnie - I think we could borrow your "no dignity" slogan - I mean we have trained as far as is humanly possible in the dark so as not to scare people and there aren't that many anyway in the forest - and if they're running too then they look as desperately ill and unfit as we do!!

Hurrah - and thank you!!!

Nonnie · 09-07-2006, 03:16 PM

What's this? Running in the forest? After dark?

You crazy crazy people. The good people of Epping no doubt are too terrified to leave their houses after dusk now.

Photos of the race itself please and you and Jenny running in particular.

It says No Diggity, not no dignity. However, I feel you probably realised that and if not, it's much better anyway. I am preparing for a change!

Oh dear god no!!! When I did the marathon a few years ago the photos were NOT fit for public consumption!!! But I will take my phone and will record the event for posterity!!!

Nonnie · 09-07-2006, 03:25 PM

I can't believe you did the Marathon?!

I bow down. Wow. Excellent achievement.

I eat them quite often (Snickers now aren't they?) and that's probably as close as I'll ever get.

Seriously unfit, becoming more than a little overweight and wanting desperately to swap her pretty much new Dainese trousers for the next size up now...

He he he - that's why we go out in the dark!!!

Put the trousers on Ebay and deny ever having them in the too small size - I find throwing out small clothes very therapeutic...

And actually fat people are harder to kidnap so it's obviously a crime prevention strategy too....

And we save water in the bath because we take up more space....
