    speaking of exercise as we sort of were... I really want to join a gym again.... not done anything about it yet but have a back problem which flares up when I don't exercise and it's been bad lately. soooo might give it a go soon, was waiting till DF but I can afford it, it'll make me feel better and more to the point my clothes bill will be huge if I have to replace all the clothes that are now too tight!

    A gym will be kinder to your back than pavement pounding. What about swimming?

    and I thought you'd tell me off! this one has a pool too, council pool times are rubbish and I was kind of hoping I might be able to join DS too so he can come swimming with me.

    But you do have to use it...

    And it would get you out of the house.

    Well I bit the bullet and joined up at the gym so I reckon a couple of weeks and I'll lose two stone, drop a dress size and run a marathon! bit ambitious? ok, as long as my clothes aren't too tight and I feel better in a few months I will be very happy!
