    The legs are feeling much better today thank you :D The physio was right and I of course was wrong :cool: Hoping to get some running today.

    Came into the office today and found that someone has not passed on a very important message which messes stuff up big time, but ah well as it the stresses of work!

    Am still buried in ebay stuff, have listed about 150 items so far. Think I have finally completed the Credit Card Shuffle yesterday as well. Also entered This Morning competition to win loads of money and a free holiday - yeah right :rotfl:

    150 items? You are Ebay-tastic :A Yes, fingers crossed for the competition. I've lost count of the amount of those I've entered, but someone has to win......

    I've entered a magazine competition to win a gorgeous mirror I've been coveting for a long time. It's £500, so I'd have to win it to have any chance of owning it....*sigh*

    Glad the legs are better - don't push things too much, you have come too far to have to pull out through injury at this stage!!

    Gggrrrrrrr - hate when that happens at work

    I was thinking about you last night (gosh that doesn't sound good) Restart..... I was thinking about how you credit card shuffle last night and was thinking that maybe after Richard I should clear our on 6.7% LOB card (only got a limit of £3000 but better than nothing) and they transfer part balance off one of the bigger and dearer cards...if that makes sense!

    I have been naughty and absent. Busy at home, 12 miles ran this morning, kids to various lessons this afternoon and me rushing around taking pictures of ebay stuff in the middle and OH - oh stupid me, he is playing golf .......

    Put on 7lbs :eek::eek::eek: Am eating way too much chocolate (i.e. whole easter eggs :rotfl:) MUST remember to not eat whole easter eggs.

    Did good sales on ebay last night and posted it all today (yes inbetween above tasks).

    Will catch up with everyone later, off to dancing exams now - the joys of being a mother

    We are guilty of eating a fair few Easter Eggs too... they are so cheap!

    Hope the running is still going well and that your legs and feet are okay.
