Last 2 weeks of hard training then we bring it back the week before the London Marathon, phewwwwww. Going out on a 10 miler first thing tomorrow then back to the Brownie baking, have had 2 mad, busy baking weeks. Also had a very large hamper company order and I've also got a big brownie tower for a 21st birthday party over the weekend and lot's of local orders too. Easter has been very good for me and the brownies lol. Oh if you do fancy sponsoring me and my Hunk of Hoo to run the whole of the 26 miles in the London Marathon for a fantastic charity, my sponsorship page is - http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-massive web/fundraiser/showFundraiserPage.action?userUrl=JustineForrest&faId=168574&isTeam=false A massive thank you if you do take a peek.
We had a big 80's themed charity night last Friday at our local Indian restaurant, what a night, we raised over £1500 for our charity and it was such a laugh. Everyone had a great time. Alice Newby sang for us while we ate, what a voice, such talent. Then my Hunk of Hoo spinned the tunes until the early hours. Very pleased at how everything went and how much we raised. We enjoyed it that much we're thinking of doing it once a year for a different charity each time. Would love to do the next one for Operation Smile. The charity offers operations for children in poor countries who are born with cleft lip and palates and who don't get the corrective surgery needed like we do in this country. Our Oldest daughter Millie was born with a cleft lip and palate, so we know first hand how this type of birth defect can effect your whole life. Millie's a star and has been through so much in her short life, I cant image her not having the corrective surgery she's needed.
Cant wait for this weekend, we're going to have our first big family day out in over a year. We haven't done anything in such a long time because, Christopher hasn't been up to it. It's all a big surprise and the children don't know yet, but we're taking them to Alton Towers for the day, they are going to be made up. We haven't been there for years, in fact the last time we went I was 14 stone heavier and didn't go on any rides. Not this time, I'm going to go on EVERYTHING - Make way, I'm coming in lol!
Oh before I forget, a very good friend of mine has written this book - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coffee-Tea-Gypsy-Me-ebook/dp/B007RFBZPA/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1333610822&sr=1-1 such a great Easter Bank Holiday read. She's an amazing writer, take a look. xx
