Sarah, how did your sister get on, if thats not to personal a question. Send her our best wishes. Donna, still working out costings for puds, have a few orders so may be able to get ingredients in bulk, but so far is looking like £10 for a small pud,about 340G serves 2-3 people, £15 for a large pud, approx 680G serves 6-8 people and for the really greedy a whopping pud for 12-14 people about 1600g for £25 They are made with barley wine, stout and rum!! they do have nuts in though, so let me know if anyone is allergic!! they are yummy!!! they come in a microwavable dish to save steaming time,and are beautifully wrapped too!!! They are also made on stir up sunday!! Im thinking this is a good fundraising idea as I love cooking and love christmas!! Am also thinking about doing christmas door wreaths as used to work in a florist, actually may just do christmas fundraising!!! Oh well back to kids , get them out while the sun shines!!

Not really very creative like that much to my shame. I am more technical.. lol Did my Active Options program today ready to start at the gym again. This one is a referral through my docs which gives me inclusive use of Leisure Centre for £25 a month. Including Gym, Swim, G-cycle classes & Créche, but only before 4pm and all weekend. So not bad, and means I'll use it loads. Can't wait to get underway. Right off out the the park with the girls today.. did the beach yesterday, never again at the weekend, the traffic was horrendous!

She is totally devastated. She's been through so much in the past few years and is starting to think life is against her. Thats why we need to raise all this money for this research - without it Emma would have NO chance of getting a healthy baby, with it - she still has another chance. Anyway, did another 10 miles last night - feel a bit stiff today but nothing too bad. My brother is a keen mountain biker - in fact he used to compete. My mum had told him about what I was doing and he rang yesterday and chatted for ages (very unlike him - I can go months without talking to him). WHen I got off the phone my mum rang me to say he was really dissapointed that I had not invited him along!! I had to explain that he would need to have a sex change!! Anyway, must do some work!

I have had miscarriages before but do have 3 children, and it is so easy to take it for granted having children. My heart goes to those who have difficulties, and for that reason among others is why I too am doing this. Some by some miracle fall pregnant naturally later after 'giving up' trying the IVF way. That's lovely you have the support of your family... you can pick your brothers brains on the training side of things too.

Hopefully next time it will work! put me down for the middle sized one Angie, no nut allergies in our house,shame, that would mean more for me though. What about yours and Julz's little uns going without stabilizers on the same day, show kids some sun!

Thats why we have the tagalong that fits onto the back of dads bike. Article goes into local paper this week, and I have done a big piece in a local families magazine - hopefully that will generate a bit of publicity and sponsership.

But last week he didnt even want to know!! just goes to show a little patience goes a long way. Its also a great way for him to be active and be involved in my challenge, he now thinks hes going to be my cycle trainer for Cuba!! www.justgiving.com/cycleJordan2009    Report

08-07-2007, 9:35 D-Ream Joined on 09-18-2006 Southampton Posts 208 Re: CYCLE CUBA 2008 / Women for Women Morning.. off to the park again so Dani can practise some more. I need to get a tag-a-long for her anyway as she isn't ready to go on road, and wouldnt be able to do distances. They are a great invention. Dani has a trailer at the mo which is great though. Good luck with the article Sarah, you'll have to scan it and show us when it comes out, or if it goes online. That's is cute of Ciaran being your trainer.. aww Julz xx   http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/referral/5828 http://www.justgiving.com/julzgoldsmith    Report

I was a bit concerned about fund raising over xmas, Angie thanks for the ideas, will maybe (if I can stand it) only because mine are older, offer baby sitting services, but definately go for the present wrapping idea, how much do you get for babysitting now?

08-15-2007, 11:37 angie Joined on 10-18-2005 Posts 287 CYCLE CUBA 2008 / Women for Women Hi Cycle Cuba'ist's has all been quiet here for a week, how is everyone? have we any new people that have signed up? Things ticking along slowly on my front, still no cycling, but planning on cycling to work on sunday!! as long as its not pouring down! then will try to cycle to work at least twice per week and try and fit some more in at some point during the week. fundraising also going slowly but have 14 months left to fret. Hope you are all ok out there, happy cycling & fundraising Angie www.justgiving.com/cycleJordan2009    Report

08-17-2007, 20:27 Cadbury Joined on 07-22-2007 Rugby Posts 334 Re: CYCLE CUBA 2008 / Women for Women Hey ladies, Know you are all probably on your hols, apart from me and Angie, but when you get back this should cheer you up with a giggle. I place a phone that someone gave me on ebay to sell for charity, all the bidding was going really nicely, got to £45.00 with only 2 minutes to go. Suddenly 2 bids popped up, one of £100, and one of £102. As a newbie ebayer, I was quite excited, Ha! it was some one in Nigeria! So much for my first foray into online fundraising. By the way Sarah, how did your advertising go? Julz how is the planning for your Cuban funday coming on? www.justgiving.com/donnacadycuba    Report

I was so worried about the fundraising side of it, but i finally mentioned it to the girls I work with, and they are so keen to help - it brought tears to my eyes! They have offered to be my fundraising gang, and as soon as I get my acceptance, we are going to meet to plan our strategy... All of you seem really friendly, please keep your fingers crossed for me that I get in. bye for now Sue      Report
