The lovely Laura and I have parted company. I have had a few runs without her but dusted her off today and brought her out for a special occasion. It just didn't feel right to graduate without her. What's that you didn't hear me??? I said I HAVE GRADUATED!!!! Week 9 run 3 complete!!!! Shiny badge applied for!!!! Felling rather giddy and pleased with myself in case you hadn't noticed. Thank you all for your support, well timed kicks up the bum etc along the way. Now off to find that Jillian woman who has replaced Laura as the bane of my existence. xx
