Well, yesterday was absolutely amazing !  I was quite nervous in the morning, but got going bang on 11am !  A photographer from the Wilts & Glos Standard came in about 11.30 and we did a photo-call.  Ian, the Gym Manager, joined in and I think we got some good pictures... (check out the pictures posted) A few people popped in during the day to say Hello and actually the time went quite quickly !  My friends, Becky and Bridget, were there to support me the whole time and were trying to encourage people to part with their cash !  The last hour was amazing and the Staff at Le Spa came in to cheer me on for the finish line !  The last piece of music was the theme to St. Trinians and a huge cheer went up at 5pm !  Then, after a good stretch I relaxed in the hot-tub outside with a glass of 'something fizzy'.  I really enjoyed the Spin-a-Thon, it was definitely blooming hard work and certainly not something you could do on a regular basis - unless you are completely mad - but it hasn't put me off and will remain part of my training for the other challenges.  Next stop, Kilimanjaro !!!

I would like to say a HUGE 'thank you' to all the Staff at Le Spa, Cirencester.  Firstly, for letting me do the Spin-a-Thon and for all their support and encouragement.  And, of course, another HUGE 'thank you' to all my friends and colleagues who have spurred me on !!!

Had some really good news yesterday evening.... My good friends and neighbours, Beth & John V, have been approved to adopt a little boy and they will become his parents next month - how fabulous is that !!!!

So, until the next blog.... Abbey X
