    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I haven't got a treadmill Len hunny, I just use the one at the gym. I take my cheapPod with me, but I still find it deadly boring. The first 20 minutes are a struggle, the second 20 not too bad (seem to be in the zone then) and then the last 20 minutes are an increasing level of mental and physical torture... :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Not really, I do quite enjoy it, or at least, once I've finished, I enjoy having done it.

    It's at the limit of what I can afford as it is (for afford, read 'put on credit card and feel guilty about') so I'm worried about getting a 2nd opinion and it turning out even more! :eek: Besides, I'm not really confident enough to challenge garages on that kind of thing. Good idea though, thanks for that. :)

    I've left her (yes, my car now has a gender :D ) at the garage and I swear I actually cried and vowed to stop calling her 'the deathtrap' and similar names and take better care of her in future. You'd think I'd just left a child in hospital, the way I'm going on. :D I said when I had to get the last one scrapped that I wouldn't get attached again but somehow, it's happened. Am I the only nutter who gets attached to their car this way?

    I'm off to the O2 shop in a bit, to see if I can get my mythical 'sister' a new phone (read 'get new phone to flog on Ebay :D ) from my 10% of topups. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Ah roger, but if you did you could have DVD of a man running naked. Perhaps you could chase his bum or alternatively you could have me running towards you naked :eek: now that would make you run :rotfl:

    any tready i've looked at seems to be too feeble for my considerable weight to run on... i don't have much joy with treadmills, i went on monday night to gym with the intention of doing 3 miles but never got near it...

    i need the fresh air generated by running outside to stop me from overheating too much!

    Oh god, I never even thought about max weight for treadmills. It could be that I is too fat for one :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hi kayleigh, I know what you mean about spending money on cars and at what point should you stop. If you have a car in your life be it new or used you are gonna spend money on it eh. What I am trying to do is budget for Car Repairs. Im putting ex amount to one side every month and letting it build up. I only started las month and I had over £400 to pay out on repairs for an MOT too which means this month I cant put any away lol. So I am hoping from next month to start building it up again :D

    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:
