    sorry about the cat vomit story but it was integral to the restless sleep story!

    Sky+ is new... didn't get it much cheapness... well got a bit off but even when thru to diconnections they weren't for giving me anything off.... basically had to back track my way out of cutting it off, as Big G would have gone mental!


    Got new box for £109 and free installation of Sky+ and old box is now upstairs for multiroom which is extra £10 a month... i paid the £109 and G pays the extra every month.... i could so live without the fancy channels but i do like the +1's n stuff... couldn't go back to council telly!

    are you planning on breaching the peace hun?

    Sally - you need time to train, i think the biggest issue you have is fitting it in.... that in itself is stressing you out...! Easier said than done i know!

    Has anyone watched episode 11 of biggest loser yet... i downloaded it last night, but haven't watched it yet... have read synopsis online, looks great!!

    Sally - Don't doubt yourself - you CAN do it! My sister did it twice and the first time she did it having badly twisted her ankle the month before, but she ran for 18 miles and then did scouts pace for the rest of the way. She found someone to talk to on the way round and they kept each other going. She then had to do it a second time to make sure she beat her first time! She was very pleased to do so and also to beat Mark Hughes who she shares her date of birth with!

    Sadly my sister had a stroke 2 years ago and her mobility is now very limited. But it wouldn't surprise me one day if she tried again for her 3rd marathon!

    But Sally - You Go For It! who are you running for by the way if you don't mind me asking?

    Morning Bookie - hope you're OK.

    What news do you have?!

    That is truly the problem Maz...lack of time and its been hard over the winter being dark early in morning and evening. Would be ok if I were single, no household responsibilities and no child...all the time in the world, but hey I can only do what I can do. This is the main reason for my stress at the moment, think I just need to chill about it and just go for it even if I have to walk. Pah why do I get myself worked up.

    Haven't seen it yet Maz, also downloaded it last night...Good telly tonight, Kilamanjaro (sp) Apprentice and biggest looser! :)

    Thanks QB, yes I need to snap out of it, and believe i CAN do it..PMA where's Bunny when you need her with PMA!

    Im sure that one day your sister will do it again, she sounds like a very determined person

    I am running and raising money for my daughters pre-school who are desperately trying to raise funds to sort their garden out so they can do outdoor learning. They are a charity run pre-school and desperate for money so feel like I should do my bit as they have provided wonderful support and learning for DD.

    Can't get a pallet in here!
