    Does anyone fancy another HHC 12-12.30?

    That'll give me enough time to wash my hair and get dressed as I'm ashamed to say I'm still in my pjs.

    My MACAW challenge this week is... Start a running training plan and stick to it!!
    This is what I want to do too! I know from past experience it is one of the best things I can do to make myself feel better.
    Do you know what plan you are going to follow? I have the Couch to 5K podcasts which I like, don't have to keep checking my watch for the walk/run intervals.
    Sexymouse I am up for a HHI 12 -12.30. Must move myself...!

  • Morning lovelies - hugs to our poorlies, greenbee - good luck

    Have done practically nothing flying wise before work apart from my dailies and they were rushed LOL:rotfl:

    Instead I waxed my legs and a mini pedicure ready for jolly hols, though looking at the weather forecast I'll be needing wellies and raincoat more!!

    Can't blooming wait for 5.30 to come, no work for 10 days woohoo.
    After work we need to take rabbit and hutch down to my sisters as DD1 is useless (19) at feeding him, she always thinks he's going to run out of hutch when she opens it or bite her. He doesn't bit and she could pick him up and pop him back if he did. Same with the gerbil, poor sis will have her hands full with 2 DD's of her own, a dog, a cat, 3 rabbits, a gerbil and fish to care for :rotfl::rotfl:
