I remember several years ago when I was a teacher in the brownies, I used to spend countless hours trying to think up games and activities for the girls to play. It was hard work I can tell you, it was also hard work running around after 30 hyper kids two nights a week — [...]

I can’t believe it’s 2009 already, my how time flies. It doesn’t seem like 5 minutes ago it was turning 2000! We went out to the local pub with some friends, watched some fireworks and then came home and have been playing N64 since. Nothing like a bit of retro gaming to bring in the [...]

No more weight loss since I got back off holiday, but I am finally back into the swing of things I think – tonight I had what felt like an awesome work out, 400 calories in 40 minutes, sweating like a mad woman – felt great afterwards, don’t you just love it when you get [...]
