Race for Life

As you may or may not know I am running in the Race for Life in Sheffield next Sunday. I have been training for the last couple of months and I think I am just about ready. Gulp. I am raising money for cancer research. I have sent out a load of emails but if you don't get one please, please, pretty please dig your hands in the pockets and sponser me here. I think it is pretty safe to say this is the one and only time I will run a race so be generous!

Thanks everyone.

Here are the pictures of Saville Gardens Visitor Centre under construction I promised ages ago. Please excuse the quality, I took them on my phone.

Up date

So what has been going on? Not much worth writing about really!

The past few weeks have been massively busy. I have been at work, been training, throwing Eurovision parties, going out for Chris's 30th and lots of other stuff too. Some of my uni friends all made the effort to come last Saturday so thanks Rachel, Liz and Lottie. You all travel a pretty long way and I really enjoyed seeing you all.

Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago I hurt my back and have been going to a Chinese doctor for the last few weeks so that I am able to run in the race next Sunday.

In the wake of the recent comments about complimentary medicines by the NHS I can definately say acupuncture helped me. I know lots of people are very suspicious about complimentary medicine and all I can say is that chinese herbs and acupuncture have helped me with migraines and exzcma far more than my normal doctor ever has.

I have absolutely no idea how it works as I am dubious about the existence of Qi. But it does work for me. I went to a new doctor this time and he not only did acupuncture on my back but cupping a la Gwenyth Paltrow. Oh I feel like I should be in the pages of Now. Here is a picture of one the bruises it caused on my back. Strangely it didn't hurt and they faded in a couple of days. I was pretty shocked at how bad they looked though!

Right I'm off. Byeee

A Rant

I am fully taking advantage of this blog being a forum for me to moan about things that annoy me.

Jeremy Clarkson et al (the short one and the one with really, really bad hair) get on my nerves.

Maybe that is the point of Top Gear, to get on the nerves of every girlfriend in the country.

I truly believe that Philip can find a programme at any time of the day with Jeremy blithering on about some crap, generally looking smug about smashing a crap car or caravan up or driving a car that costs more than 3 times my house did.

This rant was caused by the smug student walking by me at lunchtime with a T-shirt that stated in white writing on a black background…

“I am the Stig”

Oh for god’s sake.

Eurovision

I may have mentioned before that I love Eurovision. So as the boys are shaving off Jim’s eyebrows somewhere in Scotland on Eurovision weekend I thought why not combine 2 of my favourite things?

I hereby announce a Eurovision Cocktail party. I shall email out some invites but if you are free on the 20th May, female (no boys allowed as they smell) know me or one of my friends and can be in Sheffield you are welcome to join us.

I shall be making up some kind of sweepstake relating to the countries involved and the type of drink and food everyone should bring to the party. Watch this space for more details!

Come on Daz, you can do it.
