Just to let you all know - well those of you that may actually be worried about me. I am alive and well.
Quick update, I am moving tomorrow so chaos rules here and I won't have any internet until next thursday. I will do a full update of the wekkend in Wales - it includes tears, ripped trousers and abit of an achievement.
Never underestimate the effect of pressure in your life can have on your mental attitude on the mountain - as I found out last week!!

mini crisis
Yesterday was the sad loss of a dear friend - my pedometer. I was getting out of the car and looked down and there was my pedometer on the seat broken - have no idea whats happened to it. But I feel lost!
Talking about lost - I'm putting posters around the area about my daughters bunny.
Friday is now only 2 nights away and I am planning an early get away friday morning about 5am (my excuse is need to get out before the monsters awake so they don't get upset) and on my drive will go past snowdon for a gander and then onto somewhere else for a walk. I'm looking at Hebog at the moment from the Trail Routes website. Have just installed memory map on the computer so will have alook what routes are on there.
I have to take full advantage of any time that I can grab to myself to get out there. And strangely Hubby is quite happy to let me go up a mountain on my own (maybe he is trying to get rid of me - or just that I won't listen to him if he say's no?)
One of my neighbours who i haven't seen for a while told me yesterday that I look like I've lost weight and hubby told me the same over the weekend.
Prehaps binning the scales was the best thing that I've done!

keeping Fingers crossed
I have just been on the Bremex website, they are the group that is taking us out on the weekend and it says that all courses are cancelled.
So in dismay I have sent an email to Claire and am hoping that it doesn't mean us - but I will keep you all updated.
been out today for a wander with Elli in the Macpac and also took my eTrex. So we had great fun. Only did 2 miles but with 2 stone on your back I'm sure that it's really 10 miles or something like that. But as I didn't do as many steps as I would have liked - I came home and did my LTT and clocked up over 10000 steps again today.
The exercise, water and good diet are the only way I am coping with very little sleep at the moment.
My daughter has had a bunny from Tesco since she was born (2 1/2 years ago) and yesterday it was lost from the Macpac whilst going up the shop.
URGENT REQUEST FOR HELP: IF ANYONE HAS A PINK BUNNY OR KNOWS OF SOMEONE THAT DOES PLEASE CONTACT ME - MONEY PAID!!
It is a serious request she has been waking up at 2am crying out for bunny!! Breaks my heart.
Had a play with the eTrex today and it was great fun set waypoints and gotos. Will put the software on ready for the weekend and hopefully if all goes well will get to try in the hills!!
managed to get into my new craghopper trousers today - they have an awful cut but are a size 14 short - result. By the end of this I will be a 12 (if not less) but I am feeling fitter and it's not about losing all the weight (although that is a bonus)
have found a 40 mile walk around the bedfordshire area which I am going to do at the end of feb over a few days - getting ready for the 4 peaks.
have now over 10 people joining me for the 3 peaks challenge.
Will now await Claire's email - will probably have rung her by 9.15 tomorrow morning.
Worse case scenario - the trail academy still go and meet up and have a laugh on the hills!

So jealous!!
Emma, Take some photos for me please!!
I have to admit I am jealous of Emma, the ability to just take off and go to North Wales (I remember those days).
But I wouldn't swap my two little ones for anything - I would prefer though to live closer to some mountains and my family. But needs must, and they dictate that we live in the South East for a few more years yet.
But my goals are keeping me going - although still waiting for an email from MK2-30 RA.
Anyway going out tomorrow to try out the rucksacks and the GPS, plus just refresh my map reading skills.
Only 7 days to Wales !!!
And I just got a new case for the etrex - i love goodies

More white stuff please!!
Snow - what a lovely wake up call that was.
I was meant to be on a seminar yesterday but was going to call off it and go on that hill scramble in Aylesbury - by the time I got up the Nursery to frop the kids off, the snow had melted and I had a ton of paperwork to get through - boohoo!! But only 2 weeks to go and that hill will be mine!
I am also going to see if I can get into my new walking trousers for next week in wales. 8 days to go and I will be there!
Both my little monsters have colds at the moment so I am averaging about 4 hours of solid sleep and the rest is broken and I feel bleugh at the moment - thank god for water!
My GPS is coming for its first trip to Wales for a play next week - it is very excited and wants a case to keep it nice and warm. Ebay here we come!
If anyone wants a good laugh click on to www.bbc.co.uk/wales/info/charities and I am there with my chubby cheeks!!
Only 15 days to my move :)
