As I announced last week, my latest Scaredy Cat Challenge is to get my freezer under control. Truth to tell, at the moment I'm using three different freezers - yikes! On Monday morning (as soon as the schoolrun was done and before my NEWO run), I set my Flylady timer for 15 minutes. I started this challenge… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – Freeze! Part Two

Scaredy Cat Challenge – The Flylady is Nearly Here! :)
We're now officially 'Moving in May' around the world with the Flylady so it won't be long before she gets to Copenhagen - hooray! My Scaredy Cat Challenge last week (read all about it here) was to spend (at least) 15 minutes in the garden every day in preparation for the Flylady's visit.

Scaredy Cat Challenge – Declutter Time 2
In last Sunday's Scaredy Cat Challenge post (read it here) I said I would (please excuse the pun) fling myself head first into decluttering. Monday to Friday - 15 minutes a day - the Flylady and the Flylady timer by my side... How did I get on? Basement, Cupboard Can you imagine the anguish that… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – Declutter Time 2

Scaredy Cat Challenge – Can you smell carrots?
My latest Scaredy Cat Challenge was to get on my bike and cycle to the next town. Go on, you can laugh if you like - it's a round trip of about 10k (6.2 miles)! But as I haven't regularly ridden a bike since I was about eight years old (and have owned a car for… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – Can you smell carrots?
Scaredy Cat Challenge – Running (Wo)man
Ready for some more picture fun? Okay then. What's the difference between this photo... ...and this one? Give in? Answer: Half an hour and 5 kilometres! 😉 I had a fan-flippin-tastic week of running thanks to a series of changes of plan. We ended up running 5k on Monday and another 5k on Tuesday! The… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – Running (Wo)man
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 14 March 2010 (On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!)
You've heard that expression, "The best laid plans..."? Well, that's what happened to last week's running challenge to increase my running speed and distance. My plans didn't only "go awry". Or "gang agley" as it was originally written by Robert Burns, our Scottish national poet, in the poem "To a Mouse". My plans came to a complete STOP. DD7… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 14 March 2010 (On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!)
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 7 March 2010 (On your marks, get set!)
In last Sunday's Scaredy Cat Challenge post, I told you that I'm currently trying to crank up my weekly running distance. Last year I ran two 5k races. This year I'm attempting going to run 10k. "10 in 2010". Sounds catchy, doesn't it? As regulars will already know, I run two to three times a week with my sweetie… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 7 March 2010 (On your marks, get set!)
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 28 February 2010 (On your marks!)
Last week I wrote that I was (in the words of 'NEWO' Jonathan Roche) going to 'crank up' my weekly running distance in preparation for this year's 10k race. (Last year I took up running - yes, me, the non-sporty girl - and ran a 5k for the very first time.) My running buddies (two female friends, H and… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 28 February 2010 (On your marks!)
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 21 February 2010 (Get on Yer Bike! 2)
Another week has passed. And still no success with the bike challenge... I've got good excuses - family has been here, I've been ill with a bad cold. But, once again, the killer has been the weather. Snow, snow and more snow. And ice 🙁 Oh well, at least the back garden looks pretty! So… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 21 February 2010 (Get on Yer Bike! 2)
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 14 February 2010 (Get on Yer Bike!)
So I didn't succeed with last week's challenge of cycling to the Next Town. Not for lack of trying. Nor for lack of forward planning. I prepared my bike the day before - had to dig it out first of all... Rrefilled my NEWO water bottle (after defrosting it) so I wouldn't run out of… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 14 February 2010 (Get on Yer Bike!)
Scaredy Cat Challenge – 7 February 2010 (Crochet)
Last week's 'challenge' was to try a spot of crochet. I've tried knitting a couple of times before. First when I was at school. Though I clearly remember being told off in sewing class for chatting and 'pretending' to knit by clicking the needles together. Later as a teenager - probably around the same time I used… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Challenge – 7 February 2010 (Crochet)
