Evening gonks.

A nice 5 miler this morning, a workshop in Wakefield done, in the studio in Chesterfield now.

Just tried to get through to Child Maintenance twats for over half an hour, then they closed at 6. Got a great letter telling me the amount I need to pay has changed, but they forgot to mention the amount. I would like to karate chop all the eejits at the top.

And breathe.....

This might well be a ridiculous thing to say Som but have you looked on the back of the letter? OH had a letter from 'the Government' and was cross because it didn't give the detail he needed - which was on the other side of the letter ;-)

I've looked on all 3 pages and nothing on there. It's not even a physical letter - I had to log on to read it. Maybe they'll send a paper version which may have the missing info but from my previous dealings with them, they probably won't.

I've popped some time in my diary to try again tomorrow...... :-P

Failing to keep up.

I went to a few Tai Chi classes for a while, but couldn't get on with it.

Daisy, that was a narrow escape.

luck with that, Som.

Morning.
Frustrating Som!

I’m knackered but nearly a week off which I can’t wait for. Foot a bit sore so I may leave any running (run/walking) for a few days.

Dipps I have just realised that I am still on the list for 15k at the weekend, which I definitely won't be doing. Could you also remove the Behobia-San Sebastian on 12/11 and San Sebastian 10k on 26/11 when you have a moment. *sighs*
