    As you are an expert in the realms of walking and pedometers, do you know what distance (roughly of course!) that 10,000 steps equates too? We went walking last night and covered about 4 miles.... do you reckon that covered my 10,000 steps? (I was going to count my steps, but just couldn't be bothered!)

    My wife presented me with one of those 'pedometers' that she got from the hospital - I wore it for a day and, with work, covered 12,000 steps. Only problem I have is that I don't know how to re-set it to zero. :rolleyes:

    Every lunch hour I'm an :A but honestly when you get to my age honey you have to work at it especially after three children and I'm not ready to give in yet:rotfl:

    That's fab OBNW!!! I went for a walk today - was feeling a bit stressed and my clothes were getting tight again :(... My week at my dads - I was walking the dogs with him every day and lost more weight than being here - I was having a few beers each night and eating well too... so it proves exercise does work!!

    Have fun in the US - I agree with Nats about expenses ;)

    Sorry for not popping in earlier again- I have been lame at getting on here :o

    Good to read you're managing to debt bust as well as 2 x DD bday's!!!:T

    Hope you enjoy your trip to the states, OBNW- hopefully it won't be all work and no play. ;)

    I sincerely hope that you are not affected by the dreaded redundancy.

    Watch out America!!! lol

    Would now be a good time to pop your SOA up - just in case anyone can see something that can be tweaked to make life a little easier for the impending redundancy? (please don't put me on the naughty dtep for my suggestion!!?)

  • Hey guess who got back yesterday afternoon, ok so I may be a tad jet lagged :rolleyes:
    But I've been to bed and now seems a good time to be awake:confused: can't wait for work tomorrow.
    I hope you have all been fine and dandy, I will sit down and work out any damage I've done tomorrow, it's a case of looking at my receipts and working out how many margaritas I can get away with claiming for:p
