Looks like I will have to study hard to beat the missus and win the cakes!!
She is the form horse in our household for this
Great fun raymo taking on the better half
I chuckle to myself when reading about you and Mrs Raymo, it reminds me of when my Wife was alive (Grotbags66) and we use to have battles each week in bob’s comp aswell as in this. It was all mainly good fun but this comp in 2012 we were 1st and 2nd and it got a bit heated for a while. I boasted a little too much and had to sort my own tea out that night
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
It can get a little heated Nath but a cup of tea and a cake usually sorts out the problem!!We are both on diets this week so we have come up with a crazy scheme !! Each day you start with fifteen minutes on the treadmill and it gets reduced depending on how many winners or places you have
I can see me doing at least ten minutes a day on the treadmill!!As usual thanks for running the competition we do love em in this house!!
