Billy got me thinking today about things I have been lucky enough to do. Here are some of them.
Tandem freefall parachute jump
It was for charity many years ago, and I was so frightened. I think being so scared spoilt the experience for me. Before we went out my instructor asked me to watch some of the lads doing solo jumps. God I wish I hadn't. I don't know what I really expected but they very quickly disappeared head first. Am I glad I did it? Yes. Would I do it again? No.

Flown a light aircraft
This was very strange as I have never been in an airplane. There are so many different buttons. I really enjoyed this, I kept banking too much the controls are very sensitive. I would definitely do this again. If it was not so expensive I would possible consider taking more lessons.

Flown a helicopter
How hard ? This was really hard to get the hang of. I could turn around fine but going straight and hovering were very difficult. I would like to have another go.

Had a flight in a hot air balloon
So frustrating. I had to keep phoning in advance to check if it was going to happen or not as it is very weather dependent. On one occasion we actually drove all the way to the site waited around they done some wind tests then the ride got cancelled. When I actually got in the balloon I was surprised how big and noisy it was. We landed in some ladies garden, which was fun.

There are other more normal things I have done like getting married which was wonderful and I could not ask for a better hubby. Having my two children who I would not be without.
I have never learnt to swim, that is something to work on.
Is there something you have done that you will always remember?
Is there something you have always wanted to do? If so - do it. It's never to late.

Not very long or interesting today. My little man is off school. He's not feeling too good.

In July I will be doing the Race For Life for Cancer Research. I am not the fittest of people to say the least, so I thought I had better do some training. Tomorrow night I am possibly going to a running club, and I will be in the beginners group. I am in some sick way looking forward to it, and another part of me thinks what on earth am I doing.
My aim if all goes well is to carry on running and next year do the Liverpool women's 10k race.

On Sundays I do my good deed for the week and help in church doing the children's liturgy. I take a group of little monsters out of the main mass and do church related activities with them. So I sat all week and thought of what I could do, we have to follow the gospel for the week so that we do the same readings but more child friendly. Got my ideas together - read what I was going to say - all set.
Sunday came, and my darling nephew said he did not want to come to church. I gave him two options : come with me or you go home. He went home and my sis was not happy.
So after taking him home, my little man and myself went off to church. He was excited as I have told him he can read the gospel this week. We went into church, all the usual things then father invites all the children to go into little mass. There are two groups 0-6 and 7-10 not set in stone.
We all go in. I go into my room, my little man following, and how many other kids ?
One. I had prepared enough work for 25. We ended up going into the older group and I just sat and listened. Never mind. My little man still got to read the gospel.

Well no pressure on me then. As I have said before there are lots of sites I have been to lately but I keep going back to the same ones I have not commented on lots but one I have is BillyWorld. Billy has told people to come to my site (how scary is that). Not that I have anything to hide, its just "Wow - its real now". Thank you Billy - I think.

Well he's here! Not even two hours have gone and I want him to go home. Is that really bad? First thing they did was to go upstairs and check out the bedroom, few minutes later all I could hear was yells, shouts, whoops and loud thud thud thud. They were seeing who could throw action Man the furthest. As you do.

I love Fridays - no packed lunch to make, no uniform to sort. Just sort kitchen and have some quality time with hubby.
I have been either very brave or very stupid in that I have said my nephew can sleep tomorrow night. He will come around lunch time tomorrow and go home after lunch on Sunday. He is used to getting his own way at home - he's in for a shock here.
With the help of a good friend my comments are sorted. I never really began this so that other people could see it, it was just for me but I have been going to lots of different sites the last few days and two people have commented on mine and in a strange way it feels nice.
I think the next thing I will try is putting some of the sites I go to often in the links(I will have to have a good read through the help pages).

Since I have no computer skills as such I think I have done quite well with my blog. Although I think I have messed up the comments, but will look at the help pages to sort it.
Last night my eldest asked if he could play out (I really hate him going out) as I feel he's too young. Its hard to find the right balance - I know I have to let go a bit but when I look at the other children (this may sound snobbish) I dont want him playing with them.
I wish they could never grow up.

A lot of things have happened to me (health wise)over the past few months.It has really made me sit up and think I need to change my life I do no exercise at all,well that is about to change.I may be being to ambisious but I have just entered The race for life.So I will be going the gym with a freind and trying to make a difference.Every little bit helps.Good luck to me.
