Good ideas I came across





Wow, so if you're feeling far from 'carbon neutral' and getting married like me, you might be interested in these MarryMe/CarbonNeutral Wedding packs!
Going to research world-friendly cars for the poorer end of the market - think they've got any for people like me or just for flash b####rs?

Dad's birthday

A few weeks ago, on the 19th October, the big day itself, we celebrated dad's birthday.
We surprised dad and mum (I do like planning surprises) with a get together. We were met by auntie Shelagh, uncle David, Graham, Alex, uncle Bob and auntie Sheila. I think the birthday boy had fun!

















And today we move one step closer to the Christmas Fun Run... Being held in Worcester, Dagenham, Gloucester, Stevenage, Evesham and Stalybridge(?) it'll attract thousands of fun runners raising money for Leukaemia CARE. I'm helping to organise it.

Since the Great North Run

It's been, quite frankly, a bit mad!
Very very busy. Celebrated Dad's birthday - we went to a restaurant called Strawberry Bank, although everyone else enjoyed their meal I didn't think much of mine. It was a bit sickly. But then I'd been recovering from the lurgy for the previous week; I had swollen glands and felt generally rough. Everyone at work seems to have come down with something or other so work has been a bit hard.
I've had 3 days of training also, I went to London for CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) training a couple of weeks ago, which was really good, and a 2 day Mac training course in Illustrator, which was also really useful. I think it's ironic that out of all the companies I've worked for, some huge, important companies and some smaller, the one to actually invest in my training is a charity.
I have to say, busy as I've been, crazy as it's been, I've loved working marketing a charity and long may it continue...
Off to church, speak soon.

chicken trouble

Newsflash

Has anyone got any idea about chickens? Hannah's chickens have stopped laying eggs and are losing their feathers! Does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? Answers on a postcard please to...
