Went to bed at 9pm after large bowl of pasta, glass of water and ANOTHER BLOODY BANANA!!!

Got up at 7am and had two boiled eggs and large cup of tea for breakfast. Got boys ready, Cam going to my Mums, Luca going to my friends, James just surfacing and India having Golden Grahams! All in the car for 8.45...nervous doesnt even go there. Got to the Baths for 9am. Got in the pool for 9.20am...........all my fantastic friends on the balcony, cheering me on. Niki my friend (who works for The Swimming Club) counting my laps. So here goes then!!!!! Nicki stopped me after my first 50 Lengths, had water and 30 second break. When I stopped at my first 50 everyone on the balcony clapped and so did the public who were swimming in the pool, it was awesome, will never forget that! That happened everytime I finished 50 lengths. At about 1.10pm I had done 300, but I decided to push myself and do another 20, which would take me to 5 miles for James! Iona, my friends little girl had made a lovely banner with her Sister Nancy.. Photos were taken inside of all the children together with my banner, and then a photo outside of all of us.
