When I saw there was a mission to help Ms. I, I thought I haven't completed the mission correctly the first time as I was literally at her place two days ago!

THE SWEET:

Luckily, I managed to bag this mission, head over to her place and I found out she just forgot a few vital items that she needed. Her carer was present when I arrived to help her go through her list. She really wanted bleach, but her carer informed her that she managed to get some for her. In the end, the list was toilet rolls, tissues, Bananas, more evaporated milk, spam (couldn't find), white rolls and Sweet & Sour chicken, which came to a surprise to me. But, "don't judge a book by its cover", they say. She may be a 94 year old English rose, who I thought might not dare eat anything "exotic", but she does and she wanted a Sweet and Sour Chicken for lunch.

She gave me a tenner to get all these items and although, the receipt came to £10.60, I didn't sweat the small stuff and ask for the missing £0.60 when I dropped off her shopping. She was very appreciative and will contact our services in the future!

THE SOUR:

I had it in mind that this Bank Holiday weekend, I'll take on a half marathon each day! Having done 7.5k to Ms. I's place, I only had less than 13.6k left. Yet, I had my recently purchased sauna suit on as I'm in my "shredding" excess water and fat stage. There was instant regret of putting on the sauna suit upon hitting the latter stages of the run as heat from the suit and the sun forced me to take regular breaks. Yet, I managed to finish my half marathon in under 2 hours (most definitely it was over 2 hours if I didn't stop the timer during the breaks). 1 down, 2 to go!
