Well Burkie`s fundraising kit arrived from BHF this morning ~ so it`s all getting very real! Only 123 days to get some training in for the mother of all challenges. Kilimanjaro is now looking awfully real for him!!!!

After watching the forecast all week, we set the alarm for 7am, an were up an at them to climb Edale ~ Jacobs Ladder ~ Crowden Tower ~ Grindslow Knoll ~ Edale. Drizzled a bit, but the minute we got in The Ramblers Inn for a pint at the end, the heavens opened! All in the name of excellent time planning I think!

If we had have won today that would have been it ~ Premiership safety. As it is , we lost 1-2 ......and Benteke got a red card which means he will miss the next match, a potentially HUGE game against Wigan ~ Away. So nervy times ahead!

My amazingly wonderful Nana would have celebrated her 100th Birthay today. Wherever she is, I hope she had a ball. xxx

Not unexpected news, but sad none the less.......Stiliyan Petrov announced his retirement from football today after his 12 month battle with Leukemia. He is currently in remission and is off to spend his time raising money into research for the condition. A great cause seeing as one of my best friends died in her 20`s from the disease. Good Luck Stan.

News broke today that after 27 years at United ~ Sir Alex is retiring at the end of this season. I`m not a Man United advocate, but I think he`s one of the greatest football managers and Ambassadors in history. Good Luck to him.

Today was not a good day. If you ever have the misfortune to come across these guys ~ run like the wind. What a shower of the proverbial. Blackburn deal is temporarily off.
