Seems last year was better than I remember - but I see where I went wrong now!

I was given a lovely medal hanger for Christmas and today it finally went up on the wall.

I sorted all my medals into date order ready for hanging; all the ones along the back of the sofa are 2020, not as light a haul as I might have expected ... but, unforgivably, there are 13 of them in all. No wonder if it was a lousy year!!!

They all look fantastic on the hanger though. So happy with that. Addicted and I don't mind who knows it!!!

I was being very lazy - the two pics didn't work as a collage. Every time I looked at it during my yoga session I couldn't help grinning 😀. Maybe I'll put a photo on another post one day 😊

Edit: done!

Check out all that awesome bling Linda! All well earned too, and here’s to lots more in 2021! 🏅 🏅 🏅

Ps: I got a medal hanger for my birthday! You’ve inspired me to put it up tomorrow! 😀

I'm amazed mine only sat around for a month - we are all DIY-averse in this house!

Wow they look amazing all lined up like that, what an achievement and what a lovely thoughtful present to receive.I wonder how many it would have been in a normal year? You'll need a second hanger.

My plan is to restrict myself to the one hanger! Tough decisions will have to be made in future 😅. Recycled medals will have to go back to the old kids coat hooks at the side of the dog crate!!!!

Very nice Linda! Some of them look very familiar. That big round London one especially needs pride of place. Good to have them on display finally 👍

linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply to TailChaser

Given the lack of DIY skills, I did place that one very carefully- it's jolly heavy!

It looks it but then it does have to stand out.

Hubbie's very own!!! I'd lose the 'only', but that's me being overpicky and it reminds me he made the effort 😊

Nice to bring them out of hiding at last - the 2018 Race for Life medal has been tucked behind the dog crate for too long 😀

It will happen! Only two of last year's medals are for real races - a local 10k in Jan and Kew 10k in Sept

Lol. Just call me OCD!!! I only had to look one up, the rest I knew by heart 😅. Recognise the holder? It was yours that was my inspiration and I love it!!!

Wow Linda, you don't mess about...you may have overdone it a little but what a year 👏🏃‍♀️

If you're going to have an addiction, there's worse things to be addicted to...hope you're not looking for an intervention coz all you'll get is 'Go for it' and 'Atta girl' on here 🎉

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply to Run46

Haha! I reckon I'm beyond intervention! Being ultra superstitious I now see that 13 was my big mistake, one more or one less would've been fine. You can bet I'll be counting as I go this year!!!
