  • the fun run has been done

    Hello all

    the fun run has been completed :)

    We did the the 4 1/2 mile run in just over a hour which was half the time we expected which im well pleased with.

    A massive thank you to Paul Golby (not the chief Exec at Eon) Paul Golby the alarm man who helped build the bath on wheels (i will upload the pics soon). The bath handled really really well, couldnt fault it at all.

    We generally did a combination of jogging and walking around the course. When we started to go down hill etc of course we sped up this is where the flashing blue LED's and sirens came into action, it was like moses parting the sea (i think it was moses wasnt it). Oh yeah more thanks to my dad (im in his bad books so thought its best to say this) thanks for the 'donor' vehicle the go kart and yeah we also borrowed the number plate of his Galaxy - he dont know that bit yet though so im gonna get them put back on tomorrow in the day.

    I have started the garden decking in the garden, the holes are dug and also the lights for it are ordered.

    I hope to have the decking in by next weekend but its gonna be a real struggle i think :(

  • hi all

    Just a brief update:

    Money raising for the fun run is about £1800 now so going in the right direction.

    I gotta sell my Renault Scenic car, its a great car and will be great for a family etc.

    Yesterday i went to Ascot. I drove down there in dads minibus, it was hell, i hated it. Has anyone ever driven a LDV minibus its like driving a vehicle on ice all the time.

    Well i didnt win much well, ermmmm £3.80 and that was it :( but it was a real nice day and relaxed once we got past the snotty arsey cows there. It took us about hour and 45 mins to get there.

    The fun run bath steering has been upgraded and even a steering wheel has been added so its all systems go, just gotta put the sign writing and flashing lights on it.

    thats it really, sorry for the crap update but im knackered,lol

  • just a weeeeeeeeee update

    Updates updates updates.

    Ok, Coventry Fun Run: feel the money raising isnt going to well at all and that other people are not trying that much which is annoying me, yeah we are collecting money on the day in buckets but thats not gonna get us to hit the target we want. So im gonna plug it again www.justgiving.com/theplum-bers This Thursday the Telegraph are comming to take pics of us and the bath for the paper with a weeeeeeee interview, there u go my claim to fame.

    The weekend has been very very chilled really apart from working yesterday (Saturday) am. Last night was chilled and a early night however my dream was weird and in my dream i was in Greece and there was a army area i wasnt allowed in. To make things weirdier (if thats a word) in my sleep i had arranged the pillows down the middle of the bed - i reckon the pillows was the boarder for the area for me not to go into. During the sleep we went into the 'no go' area and the bloody army men gave us a slight electric shock through the water, how rude.

    Ok, heres more fun run stuff, gotta make the go kart/bath thing i gotta make it yet, and ermmm struggling on the ermmmm getting the wheels side of things sorted but the alarm man, Mr Paul Golby, AMFYOYO, BACS, HONS, alarm man said he will help me morrow with that 4 sure.

    I reckon Paul (the lodger) needs to take a sponsorship into work for me and get me loads of money and also his work should offer some water for us to take in the bath, we can put their logo on it 4 them 4 sure :0) :P

    Im sat in the garden writing the blog with ones of those chimney thingys by me to keep me warm. The animals are starting to chill abit now, Dexter Flumpy Biscuit Head and Ty Floyd have been chasing each other around the garden all night, Dexter has been been doing pumping - some may know what this means, you who dont just ask and i might tell yah but it will cost ya.

    This week its a role change again, im going from IT/CCTV/Networking/Electrical to be a warehouse 'manager' at Swan Lane. Problem is that this role is ermmmm not a challenge and so so boring and easy, in life i need challenges - shite im starting to sound like some one i know i wont say who all i will say is 'oh life is great babe' and im sure at least 2 of you will know who i mean.

    So thats it kinda folks, me is signing out again for a bit. oh no crap i forgot, on Thursday i went with Tom Slag to Newcastle upon Tyne, we went in his new work Nissain 4 x 4 thingy, which was nice to drive and did like it. Tom will have noticed im generally a crap passenger, im getting better but after my motorway crash a few yrs ago im still abit afraid for sure.

    thats it folks
