Despite very hot conditions, considering it's supposed to be April in Britain, Mr W finished the Brighton Marathon today in 3h 48min - very proud of him!

Today my boss gave me my ten-year long-service loyalty award pin badge. I've actually been at my company for over 12 years but they've only just introduced the ten-year award and so they're giving them out retrospectively to people with between ten and twenty years service.

Feeling rather pleased with myself tonight, as for the first time I've actually managed to complete the Sudoku in the Evening Standard. Normally I get stumped after entering the obvious numbers and end up giving up or running out of time as my train pulls into my stop.

This is another rare sight in our house - still over a day until we go on holiday and my suitcase is packed, in fact it has been packed since last weekend. Normally I have a last minute panic the night before we're due to leave so feeling very proud of myself this time round!
