Confessional

Posted in Challenge, Climbing, Restaurants with tags , , on May 27, 2008 by drogonevets

I’m not very good at writing these confessionals am I?! I think the reason for that is I havn’t had the chance to break the rules so I havn’t. Until this weekend.

THis weekend I went climbing in St David’s (pembrokshire) and frankly the weather was great Friday Eve (2 routes) and Saturday (12 routes), this lead for on Friday a hello pint with the rest of the club which turned into a nice blue Sirloin Steak from a wee restaurant in St Davids  called Jones’ (little pricey but definatly recomend it).

Come Sunday though we managed to get 1 route in the morning. Until the heavens opened and then we reatreated into town for a cuppa tea and a slice of carrot cake from St Davids Refectory (part of the cathedral) and then went back, had an afternoon kip and then met up in town for a nice Chuk Burger from the Farmers Arms and a few pints.

On the Monday we tried to go climbing but it was still desperatly tring to rain so we settled for some bouldering and 3 pasties, bottle of oasis, 4 packets of crisps, and a large bottle of Oasis from the local non-branded supermarket.

All in all a very sinful weekend but it was nice to get away from life for a few days.

Buy Nothing Challenge

Posted in Challenge on May 2, 2008 by drogonevets

I was speaking to my friend Mrs. Maynard on MSN the other day and she managed to persduade me that I should join her on a challenge where I am not allowed to buy any luxuries for the next month. SO no Morgan’s Breakfast Bap’s or pub visits for me.

The plan is also to have a confessional on here about our failures and successes so keep looking. Also I will just add that there are 2 things excluded from this as far as I am concerned.

  • BoxRox – I have a HUGE climb coming up at the end of the month and really need to train for it hard, but where possible I will use sea wall
  • the bonfire/BBQ I have orginised for next week that I did before accepting this challenge

So with those in mind, lets save some money!!
