Tough Mudder 2013

At the start of 2013 Ryan and I decided we would book all our events/holidays etc and get everything more organised financially and mentally than we had previously. We were planning to book a holiday to South Africa so we needed to be a lot more constructive and 'picky' on what we were going to get involved in. My definite s were 'Legends of Sherwood 10k' (my favourite event), 'Mens health survival of the fittest' (My big Goal) and ofcourse 'Nos Galan' (The big bang to start the new year).  After a few months, Ryan had started researching 'Tough Mudder' and after hearing his friend in Scotland, was going to be taking part, he wanted to do the challenge and eventually persuaded me to get involved too. Unfortunately we booked the event without realising it fell exactly 1 week before Mens Health-so we knew it was going to be an intense time! Tough Mudder  is supposed to be 'one of the toughest events on the planet' and is a 17k o

Look-a-Like

I haven't posted in such a long to time so I have decided to start on a light note... I quite often get told I look a bit like someone people know or someone famous. But this weekend I had the best comment I have ever heard and I can honestly say that when it was made the person genuinely meant it! I have been compared to Penelope Cruz; Catherine Zeta Jones Iv had a pakistan girl And more recently I get A LOT of Kate Middleton; Now obviously I don't actually LOOK like any of them and it all really comes down to the fact the we share similar features such as dark hair, eyes and olive skin...so... ... Ryan has previously 'joked' that I look like the character Shelly in the TV series Hemlock Grove and last night he showed a picture of Shelly to his mom and said 'don't you think Sarah really resembles her' and with the straightest/serious look on her face she replies saying 'Actually, YES, especia

Summer Lover!

Wow so far this summer has been amazing! British people are still complaining though - Its too hot blah blah. I do complain but only when its cold as I hate it! Because I haven't posted in a while I will do a run up of what I've been up to up until now. 1st June was a friends birthday and we all went to Essex for a night out to celebrate. Bec, Tori, me, Lydia and Amy. For most of the night it was good but I don't think it is somewhere I'd go out again, a bit disappointing. Then it was my Beautiful God-daughter Maizie's 1st birthday where Lydia threw a little party for her which was good. I really can't believe she is 1 already - it has gone so fast! Maizie Louise Kathleen also came down for Maizies birthday and she came out into town with Amy and I - I drove obviously, I am boring like that :) We went go-karting with Amy and her new 'friend' It was a great day out and so much fun.  My training has been going really well and

North Wales for Ryan's birthday

Its been a long time since I last posted as I haven't really found the time so I am going to play catch up!  We went up to North Wales to celebrate Ryan's 27th birthday and had an amazing time we left Wednesday night and got back on Monday! We booked the b&b in January so it was a long time coming and turned out to be the perfect break and definitely somewhere I would like to go again! Had an interesting start when we arrived at the hotel at 10.30pm and I realised I had left my new I Phone 5 in the Tesco we went to - 1 HOUR away! Luckily when I 118 118'ed the Tesco they had kept it aside for me to pick up the next day. It is not unusual for me to lose my phone or keys or purse lol! We stayed on a farm called Cae Gwyn farm - it was beautiful! Very quiet and they cater mainly for bikers so there was a good lock up for the bikes. The room was lovely - very modern and spacious. Even the lady that owned it was welcoming, although she did like to hang out and chat

Moroccan BBQ

Had a fab weekend In Lincoln with the family. It was my Aunty Viv and Uncle Con's 50th Anniversary! For some reason Aunty Sandra decided on a Moroccan theme - at first a bit skeptical but it turned out to be fantastic and very unique! Amy and I drove up on Friday after I finished work - hit the rush hour traffic hard! Instead of a 3.5 hour drive it took about 5! When we arrived they were all in the pub (ofcourse). It was so nice to see them again - always great seeing the family (Moms brothers family) but nothing better then being surrounded by South Africans again! Amy and I with some biltong Amy and I were staying in a caravan (spider infested!) Which was right outside the house. Our home for 2 nights The Saturday morning I woke up at 5.45! It was such a long day, setting up the marquee, getting food sorted, getting dressed etc! But I loved every minute of it. Aunty Sandra's brother, Robert let me drive his Range Rover and I must say I believe it was made for me
