    To be fair, Sammy, I never eat in the morning because I feel sick if I do. Bad habits picked up from my parents, if you knew what they were like for eating, you'd probably cry.

    If you overslept, Annie, you probably needed it. Hope you feel better soon.

    Ooooh......I like THESE:

    27172090_m.jpg

    They're £45, but they're Nike+ enabled so I wouldn't need to buy a separate sensor, which would save about £20....

    And :o:o they're blue, so would match the rest of my running gear (I know, I know....:cool:). :rotfl:



    I might have to pop to the shops later to try on! :D


    Edit - uh-oh.....marathon-runner-type-person lurking - now I feel even sillier caring about the colour.....I think I'm a bit OCD about things matching though.... :whistle: :)

    Speaking as an ex-primark shoe department worker, I have to say that footwear is something you should not cheap out on. The night footwear is good because you are only going to be wearing it when you go out, but with stuff like trainers and everyday shoes, they get wrecked so easily and hurt your feet coz they have no sole on them. So yeah, splash out on shoes. It's worth it in the end.

    Morning all,
    The trainer issue puts me off running TBH, sounds expensive and potentially painful.

    Going to add up charges today and tackle another creditor.

    What are you lot like!!! Ellie I totally agree with what Becky said - especially if your feet are deformed:eek:

    Snags.....you should do the same! You could still get your shoes to match your outfit then, but you wouldn't be doing irreparable damage to your ankles or knees then........
