    mmm... what height are you E? I'm 5ft 8 1/2 (the half being a new thing but at least I'm not shrinking yet!!!

    me neither (on going anyway), I think I'm going to have to have certain days where I go and anything else is a bonus but once it's a habit it makes it easier.

    I'm not having your height and my weight then! I always feel like a great lumbering hulk when standing next to wee people:o.

    It's raining again... la, la, la (can't remember the rest of the words). Just seen forecast and the rain will be clearing later to make way for...SHOWERS??? Terrific! Tried to book a badminton court but they are closed this weekend... Need to go into town for a few things so might treat DS to lunch out somewhere for once and then we are off to cinema later.
    Woke up at 5am so I'm shattered already...

    The last time I was awake at 5am I think I was in labour:rotfl:

    Shame about the badminton court .

    What are you going to see at the cinema?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I must say it confused me too, I did doze on the sofa for a bit but not long and had to wait AGES for DS to wake up:o.

    Aliens in the Attic I think, he says Bandslam is a girls film:rolleyes:.

    The wee people? You see lepracauns very often?

    Did you not go and wake him up? Just so he knows what it's like to have kids..? ;)

    He usually gets up before me and keeps the noise down - well trained! I did go into his room just to check he was ok and he growled at me and put the covers over his head:o.

    I'm a veritable short-arrse compared to the people I work with - only 2 of the blokes are shorter than me...
