    Luc! Hi! Hope everything is good your end and you are not too exhuasted.

    Hi BR. Glad to read your rent etc is due. How's things on the job front?

    Most days are great and I don't fell too bad at all but some days the litlun won't settle no matter what and I'm left feeling a bit ragged... Totally love it though and am hoping for a decent lottery win so I can pay debts, buy a house and be a stay home mum, at least for a few years anyway...

    you might be right, the material of the long trousers is cosy in winter but still technical fabric so should be sweatproof IYKWIM.... i don't have the legs to go much shorter tho', thank you very much! lol!!

    I may invest in something just above the knee if i get skinnier, but for now it's knee length for me!!

    I'd love to wear proper runners short shorts but i can't see that ever happenning!!

    HAHAHA I'm already in my short shorts - I'm going to have run naked at this rate if it gets hot this summer :D:eek::eek:

    (I wore a t shirt yesterday that said 'catch me if you can' and felt like a right dofus becuase I was going so slowly, but hey it was free :o:o)

    I hope you get a lottery win too! I've started a diary to better keep track of things on the diary board. Job wise, I'm applying for JSA and holding out as long as possible for things to turn up, which they are starting to do.
    Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.

    somehow i doubt that to be true!!!


    I'm avoiding buying tops as am holding out for the free ones in the races i've got planned for this year.... i think they all have a tshirt.... at least one or two should be decent technical ones... i hope.... gotta love a freebie!!

    At least i know that they'll fit me now... whereas before, i couldn't have been so sure...
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    HAHAHA 10:30 minute miling for the whole 10 miles - it was painful as well :o:o, got passed by the same group of guys 4 times :eek::eek::eek:

    You dont often get technical tops - just free cotton ones usually, but they are fine for training in (wouldnt want to run a race in them though because they often rub). Wash them first though as it helps to soften the fibres :D

    Rgiht enough running talk - I can hear shouting from Trafalgar Sq...

    Have a black bag full for charity shop and another for the bin...

    Aww - it's ok once you get going!

    So bored at work I've found an online course that I started a while ago and am going to attempt to finish it - mmmm SQL (yes this is probably as weird as my love of VAT :o)

    I just know I'm not organised enough to get things posted away on time...:o
