    What is it with us women and exercise equipment??

    Hmmm - rowing machine - that would be the item with my jeans piled on the seat (occasionally falling off and resulting in the cat nesting on them and cat hairs all over), suit trousers on the wheel and the cat food tub on t'other end!

    Cross trainer (as new) -definately in the 'dining room' but at the far end and not been able to reach it for 3months (at least), currently providing a resting place for an old handbag and a dressing gown.

    Ab exerciser -consigned to the shed in disgust at my inability to find my abs :o.

    All that equipment and I still pay for gym subs (well 2 gyms actually -another useless Tixy decision:o)

    Oooh strong arm boys :cool::drool:

    Edit: oh no sorry to hear about the piggies - hope there is good news tomorrow at the vet. Gentle hugs for all the piggies (and you of course!)

    I think I have rediscovered a sense of humour...been a bit of a long time coming IYKWIM ;)

    Probably associated with getting the work back on track so less stress..(I really DO get SO stressed getting behind with work :o)......although the dippy tart client is :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:...but not long to go and I will NOT EVER EVER EVER be taking on someone like that again.....


    ....until next time :o:o:o:o:o:doh::doh:


    ;)

    Glad to hear you're OK...;).............and hope the new phone lives up to your expectations :D

    Hmmm..personally I'd say that's not quite as good as your earlier suggestions..but I'm sure certain socio-political groups would take issue with both of us...;)

    It makes calls, it receives calls, and it's a flip phone so it doesn't make calls when in my pocket - what more could I want?

    And it has a whole load of frippery that I will never use - never mind...
