Hello all - Long time no speak!! I hope you are all keeping a vigilant eye on Mr Malkers whilst I'm yes... still out to work every day! (One day I'll become that lady of leisure!)


Ok listen up!

Malc & I decided to pack up the fags a few weeks ago (And yes 7 weeks on and we ARE still suceeding  :yahoo: ) and are now both starting to topple over to the lardy side (Like we weren't already!) so... being the nice body conscious people we are, we have decided to run, walk, skip, puff, pant our way around the WHOLE mile for SPORT RELIEF on Sun 16th March.  

We are leaving from Chippenham Sports club in the 11 O Clock 'wave' if anyone wants to join us.

We have set a huge target of a tenner  (which has been met already!) but feel we could stretch to a bit more than that!

Are any kind souls out there who like to donate to a good cause - 25p, 50p, dollars, rupees we don't mind it all adds up and lets face it, it won't break the bank!

Obviously some of you have never met us but never fear - the donations are all handled directly through the Sports Relief website you can be sure your cash is going straight to Sports Relief (and not being embezzled by us at one of our rehydration stops on route around the course!)

The link to our sponsorship page is:

http://www.mysportre....com/jenandmalc

Obviously if you don't like the look of us then by all means go to http://www.sportrelief.com/ and sponsor one of the better looking celebs instead then!!

You can also find more information on what Sport Relief is /does on their main site  - in a nutshell is a national get together of sporting / comical 'antics' to raise money to help vulnerable people living incredibly tough lives both in the UK and across the worlds poorest countries .. including India!

Also, on the (Televised?) night of Sports Relief, 14th March, my office will be taking the Pledge Calls from the General Public.. if you are lucky you may even get though to Malkers or myself who are volunteering to take calls for the whole night!! ;)

Thanks for listening.. that's all for now folks!

Cheers


Malc & Jen Lardy!!






p.s If our donations exceed £1 million then we might just...might just.. contemplate swimming the channel next year!

Good luck with running the mile, if I were in England I'd run the first ten metres for you. :yahoo:

I see you've raised £11.00, so I doubled it for you.

Again, good luck.

Thanks very much indeed Billy.  I had the email about it but they've not updated it on the site yet so I hope some toerag hasn't syphoned it off!

Phew, running a mile is wearing me out just thinking about it!  :yahoo:
Smoked for 25 years but now not smoked since 13th Jan. Am I now a non smoker, a smoker who doesn't smoke or an ex smoker? Do I have to even have a title, can I not just be a 'me'? Has not smoking made me crazy?, probably!
