    Morning everyone

    This time last week we was all having breakfast :(

    Sall - You need to rest (says the chubby inexperienced runner but I have had some experience with knees. Rest and keep stretching the hamstrings even if you have nothing to do. Are you doing any non-impact leg strengthening? Leg Curls or Squats (not deeps ones) and step up on the stairs are all good for strengthening muscles around the knee. You have done a lot of miles this week. Do your trainers need replacing? I would say with the amout of running you do they probably need replacing every 2 months or so if you havent got a top quality product, such as Asics for example

    Lou - Hiya Love, hope you had a good night out, but you are up early though!

    Keren - if I may be so bold, if your OH treated you with more respect then maybe, but it doesnt look like a good idea on the face of it

    Snoggles - :rotfl: I type that and I cannot type anything else, i just start laughing. I say anything that whatever gets you free drinks, a free meal, a snog and maybe something else into the bargain has to be gone and got

    Last night 'I had a dream' about a massive rainstorm in Helensburgh and everyone had to move to higher ground, we didnt though I stayed put and made sandwiches. !!!!!! does that mean. I'm at work today which is nice and am looking forward to Boro beating Everton later this afternoon to reach the Semi Finals of the FA Cup which will be held at Wembeley :D

    ooooooh, and when I played along and said 'ok, if I lend you the money for a deposit on a house, how quickly would you pay me back?' .......he said 'well, I'll give you the equivalent of the interest you'd get with it sitting in the bank and you could have the capital back 'when you needed it'.......erm.........don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!

    note to self.........feed Snoggles codeine at Leeds and find some local authority workmen near by........:rotfl:
    :rotfl: Noooooooo! :D:D


    So you OH thinks that it would be a good idea for you to give up your house, sink your equity into a joint property, but he keeps his house and his equity? Verrrrrry dodgy.

    And if you both keep your own properties, would you even get a mortgage on a third property? And could you find a deposit of around 25%, which is what the majority of lenders want at the moment?

    I'm sure you have your head screwed on, just please don't let him brow beat you into thinking it's a good idea hun.

    you bold man, you ;) Yes, I agree completely. I did say when this came up once before that if we had a child, I would happily leave my half to him or her and that would be fine, but as I've been well and truly told we will never have a child together (I guess we'd need a sex life first :rolleyes: ), it makes it look even less a great 'opportunity' and he's not even bothered if it is in the UK or a place abroad - he said we could buy something abroad once but with the same strings attached. He's just covering his back for his guilt of yesteryear really and isn't bothered about what situation it would possibly leave me in.

    You'd rather eat than exercise to save your life?

    I can sell it, or keep it and get a second mortgage 'all up to me' :rolleyes:

    yep.

    Nope, I couldn't, not in a million years. I have lots of equity but a pish salary.

    he reckons he could get one with 10% - which is where I come in :rolleyes:

    don't you worry. There is absolutely no way I'd ever contemplate it. And I tell him so every time it comes up :D
