THAT SHE HAS FINISHED HER CYCLE RIDE AROUND CUBA

RIDING ABOUT 200 kms iirc

that she is going to spend the time up to Christmas at home with her family and so will be back again in January

Which is a shame cos Ruth is sooooooooo irritating but I think that if she wants too be home then ok good for her

RT I have no Idea! I am at work so haven't seen any of the coverage about it!
I will question her about that though when I see her

RTKangaMummy · 20/11/2008 12:56

One of the women had a sore area in her nether regions {ie around her lady garden} and she thought she was putting on a cream to help with healing but it was Deep Heat and so was in agony!!!!!!!!

poor woman was sitting on grass trying to wipe it off and cool herself down

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/11/2008 13:19

fab that she has finished the ride - great that she raises money for charity

MadameCastafiore · 20/11/2008 13:21

Bloody Ruth - can't stand her - just thinking about her oaf of a husband makes me want to puke - that she could actually marry him and sleep with him bleugh!!!

PartOfTheHumphreysGroup · 21/11/2008 09:37

JumpingDizzy · 21/11/2008 09:41

WE FIND RUTH VERY VERY IRRITATING PLEASE FIND ANOTHER PRESENTER.

PeachyAndTheSucklingBas · 21/11/2008 09:44

Oh I agree about Ruth

but not half as irritating as her DH- he makes me gasp in shock at his general terrible-ness

twoluvlykids · 21/11/2008 09:46

please tell me - I'm usually at work so don't see it - who's Ruth's DH?

PeachyAndTheSucklingBas · 21/11/2008 09:47
