    I also needed to buy a new sports bra for the running lark.......£35 :eek: :eek:

    Hi Hypno,

    This reminded me of a Kenneth Williams interview. He was talking about a shopping trip he went on with Dame Maggie Smith. She was after a new bra and when KW heard how much it was going to cost, he uttered the immortal words:

    "How much? Be cheaper to have your t*ts off!"

    Not that I'm suggesting you do this Hypno, but I thought it might give you a giggle!

    Good luck with the running - I need to start but have to find the energy first. Got any spare lying around?

    Strumpet - Energy - hmm, I left mine on a footpath somewhere yesterday evening :o If anyone finds it, please tread carefully as it is a finite resource :o

    I notice that Pania has got looooads more running planned than I have, so I am going to have to get my butt in gear if I am going to keep up with her. I may have to decide between housework and a run round the block this evening :confused:

    It'll be a tough decision..........

    although I think that even El's Lands End to John O'Groats walk would be preferable to my housework (and certainly easier!) :rolleyes:
