Day 27

Wednesday 28th Jan Last few days I’m struggling with time and motivation I feel really drained with my CFS but I’ve done my 50 miles and anything more is a bonus. I’m so proud of myself for taking in this challenge. Share

Day 26

Monday 26th Jan Count down now to the final few days of my journey. 5 more days to go until my journey ends. I’ve always known dementia affects a lot of families but reading other peoples stories and their reasons for taking part in this challenge on the fb page has made me realise there’s a lot more people affected everyday by this disease then people know. Share

Day 25

Sunday 25th Jan Today and tomorrow are sad days for me it’s my Grandads birthday today who is no longer with us and tomorrow will be the day he passed. Thinking of him and my Nan as I walked today . My Nan was the one who had dementia. May they be celebrating together today. 🥰 Share

Friday 16th Jan So today I went for walk with Tipsy then I kept the meter running whilst I was at work and with all the walking I’ve done today combines I’ve managed my highest yet 4.89 miles! Share

Day 15

Thursday 15th Jan Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who sponsored me so far you have helped me reach my target of £100 Sadly I was unable to get out today as I was waiting in for the boiler man. Was supposed to come this morning, was running late and didn’t turn up until later this afternoon , by that time it was too dark to go out . As it turns out I’m without hot water and heating for a little while until hopefully Tuesday when they come back and replace the broken parts. Share

Day 14 part 2

Wednesday 14th Jan Walked daughter to Girl Guides , dropped her off then walked back home then did the trip again to pick her up and back home. Cuppa then bed for me ☕️😴 Share

Day 14

Wednesday 14th Jan Missed out on added miles today. I started a new job but didn’t have the app running to record the steps…. never mind always Friday when I’m back in. It’s only 3 days a week but that suits me fine right now. I’m tired but I got to go out again this evening and I have to walk so I’ll just add that if I remember to track it lol. Share

Day 13

Tuesday 13th Jan Oh what a day it has been. Firstly I turned up to a meeting that is actually tomorrow. Took Tipsy out for walk, we got caught in the rain. Not a biggy as we were out anyway but got very muddy and smelly me included …bloody menopause making me hot and sweaty! Came home had a shower bath (for tipsy) and quick shower for me . Stripped the sofa put cushions in wash and tipsy blankets. Went on driving lesson not so good today made a big error but parking is getting better ! Hope I don’t miss important phone call at 4pm. All this and it’s only Tuesday! Hope all be ok tomorrow 😊 Share

Day 12

Monday 12th Jan Warmer today then the previous days Share

Day 11

Sunday 11th Jan Lovely walk with Tipsy, took a different route today, now time for a nice cuppa Happy Sunday everybody! Share

Day 10

Saturday 10th Jan I walk everyday with Tipsy and the routes I take for this challenge are more or less the same routes I take when walking her on a daily basis but until now I never realised how far I actually walk in a month . Some days it’s longer some days it’s shorter but overall I walk a fair amount of miles each month. I know I’m only 10 days in but it’s made me feel blessed to have Tipsy without her my walks wouldn’t happen 😂 Share

Day 9

Friday 9th Jan Busy day today so just did over a mile. Luckily I’ve missed the rain two days in a row don’t mind when it’s wet just not nice going out when raining. If it rains when out there’s nothing I can do but to go out when it’s raining is a real pain in my backside lol Happy Friday everyone! Share
