About Me

St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom
I'm bright, funny (I think so), witty (ditto)and a bit cheeky. I admire intelligence, compassion, good manners, good sense of humour, good conversation, like having my feet tickled, cycling, music, chocolate and the sea. I dislike, ignorance, arrogance, hypocrisy, litter bugs, cruelty to children & animals, violence, Johnny Vegas and the word 'incorrigible'!

Day 5 Thursday 14th February 2007

Having a break from training tonight as feeling a bit blue as MFH had filming commitments and couldn't get here to be my Valentine!
Also TC was under orders to be home at a decent hour!

My first fund raising event is coming up fast - this w/end actually... BFGM is hosting a 'Curry Night' for her friends and charging them to come!! My kinda girlie!!
In saying that she does make the BEST Thai curry so it will be a happy night for all (and that's before we even think alcohol!)

The next fundraiser is the ''Mad Hair Sponsored Walk Sunday 4th March at 11am from West Park to Bel Royal''

It should be fun with everyone wearing silly wigs and generally looking crazy- thought this silliness might encourage some young people/children to join us - anyone interested in coming along, please get in touch!
(I'm assuming that only people who know me will be reading this so you'll know where I am!)
BFMB has collected £100 already...phew ...well done!! Top fundraiser!

Happy Valentines to all....over & out!!

Day 1 - Saturday 10th February 2007

Today is the first day of my countdown to my Cycle Vietnam challenge in November. Today I have: a. set up a fund raising page at http://www.justgiving.com/siobhanmartina b. set up this blog to track my training progress and no doubt many frustrations; and c. started my training. It has to be said that I'm feeling a tad righteous! In saying that I feel that I have to mention that my training took place on my exercise bike at home....come on!!...it's far too cold and wet for the real thing! I'm looking at about April for that!!! I've set myself a goal of doing at least 1 hour on the bike every day and have had the most wonderful idea of how to get over the tedium of getting nowhere slowly! Yes... I'm going to watch the whole series of 'The Sopranos'....series 1-6 in fact! When I've finished these I'll then move onto '24' ...again...every series available on DVD. But panic not my sweets, amongst all this toil, I will also be going to the gym....I'll be the one with the very pink cheeks at Fitness First! How come some girls look great exercising and some look like...well....me?! My stats on the bike for today were: RPM - 72 / SPEED - 28 / TIME - 60 mins / DISTANCE - 26.48 / CALORIES - 599 ( = 1 Mint Aero & 1 Ripple!) But as the old saying goes, 'The best laid plans of mice and Siobhans' or as my lovely Mother would say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions!'. Till next time...
