I woke up Sunday morning, 6:00am to have something to eat. I was not going to get caught out again with the diet thing. I had spent the week, carb-loading and was feeling a bit stuffed. A Weetabix and a honey covered bagel were my poison before I slowly and reluctantly got […]

I’ve not given up or been eaten by a monkey - the lack of blogs is just due to a crazy-as week. Exam time at school, followed by Suz being a bridesmaid at a wedding up north on the weekend, made for a wee bit of a nightmare week.
