Hi all,

I remember Derek had a thread up saying he was running the marathon for charity. Does anyone have any idea how his fundraising went?... and what date is the marathon please?

I may have missed an update, as I wasn't here for a while till recently. :-))

Many thanks!

it's possible that as the thread was about fundraising, it got whooshed.

This one probably will too. :-(

Always up earlier than me... or is it just that I'm busier early in the morning, and don't get on puter till everyone's gone out?? Hmmmmm

Will have to ponder that one. lol
