Something new

Howdy how has everyone been?

I did something new on the weekend. Mum signed me up for a triathlon a while back, but then they went and postponed it for a month and we no longer wanted to do a triathlon in May (being that it's freezing in the mornings!) so we switched to a duathlon. Now this was an excellent plan and you'd think I'd train for it because duathlons are easier to train for, just got to bike and swim. But I still couldn't. I guess it's the rebelling thing, because I have to do it I don't want to!

Anyway so come Sunday - duathlon day I was really dreading it and feeling very guilty for not training. But I did it anyway, and I rocked. It felt like a really good day, I managed to push myself for the whole hour it took me and I'm really pleased I can push myself for that long and not die. So that was really fun. It was nice not to have to deal with the whole wet togs aspect of triathlons!

Other news. Well I'm still engaged, that's a good sign! Loving it too! Wedding plans... hmmm not for some time. I guess now would be the time to publicise my other big news now that it's pretty official. That is that Darren and I are moving to Doncaster for a year and a half. This is through my work, I'm very excited about this! I'll almost be keeping my normal job but might have to do a bit more tricky things, and a bit more analysis stuff. Soooooo this means unless we get married in Doncaster, which we won't, we're not getting married till we get back. At this stage we're planning on picking the date before we leave and maybe booking the venues... and of course I've started looking at dresses, as I found it written more than once, that it's never too early to start looking for the perfect dress.

Also my cousin Kirsty is getting married too! That is so exciting! She's getting married before me which is good otherwise I'd die of impatience. So everyone who's worried about missing me tons I'm coming back for Kirsty's wedding so you can see me then!

Ok yay for me doing the duathlon.

help me please!

CLAIRES HUGE PROBLEM!!



hello everyone i was just cruising on the net because i have a dilemma and i thought, who shud i ask, then i thought why not everyone cool enough to read mindys blog! so here goes:



recently while i was in the UK i discovered a new product out by nivea called Nivea Lip Care SOS.



now im a keen nivea fan so i purchased this not knowing what to expect. turns out this product is FANTASTIC, the best solution for cracked lips ever! now u would have thought i would treasure this little tube of magic, but no i have lost it. and now my lips are beginning to get sore (as im forming a cold) and im in desperate need for some SOS balm to help me throught the winter. HOWEVER this product is not sold in NZ and i am unable to find a site on the internet where it will post it to NZ.



So in conclusion, all u computer geeks, get ur thinking cap on and find me somewhere to buy this! failing that ANDREW, WILL YOU POST ME SOME?pppppppppppllllllzzzzzzz.



that is all
