How to replace my running shoes
It took me
2 months
It made me
buzzy

How I did it: After investigating a number of options, I decided to invest in a pair of customised running shoes from mi adidas. They measured the length & width of each foot, customising the support, insole, materials & colours.  They also allowed for a short personal message.The team at Shoe Clinic were helpful & gave excellent service.

Box of chocolates 1 day ago

Without any prompting, Mr 12 bought a teacher a box of chocolates to say thanks for his support this year.

The teacher had returned from retirement to help out the school.

The teacher said this was one of the nicest things that had ever happened.

I was thrilled that Mr 12 made such a positive difference in his life – I am a proud father.
