Three weeks to go until the Olympics start - and you won't believe it, but I've got a horrendous cold! It's actually got worse over the last few days - I can't even breathe properly, but I'm on antibiotics so hopefully that'll cure me. It's been a while since I last blogged, so let me just update ...
Saturday 19th May Ed and I went to a wedding reception in Reading in the evening. It was an ex colleague of Ed’s and we stayed at his friend Ben and his girlfriend Rachel’s house who lived nearby. We had a brilliant evening – mainly due to the fact that there was a giant chocolate f...
Thursday 26th April It was a B&Q day today – and they sent me to Folkestone!! I had never been there before, and I swear B&Q are sending me further and further away!! It was a small warehouse store that had been built but everyone, like at all B&Q stores, was so proud of ...

Saturday 7th April It is my brother’s birthday today! He is 24 today and how depressing for him?! He is in hospital and has a plaster cast on and he can’t move! He is on the operation schedule again today, but I am not holding much hope. The worse thing is that he ha...
Monday 2nd April I have a big “L” on my forehead today, or at least this is what everyone keeps doing to me today! Damn! But I had Sky+ fitted today! Yippee! That has cheered me up!! Wednesday 3rd April I went into London in the evening to meet Mel Goldberg for ...
Saturday 31st March It was Premier A county weekend! Herts had some work to do. We needed to pull it out of the bag and as I had been injured, I wasn’t feeling too optimistic! As my week hadn’t been the luckiest one either, I was thinking that I had some curse on me and eve...
Thursday 29th March It was the Sports Industry Awards in the evening. I was really looking forward to this as last year it was brilliant (except everyone remembered me getting very drunk!) and it is a really good evening to meet lots of contacts for the future. My friend Lucy fro...
