    Morning BHB :)

    Instead of the gym could you maybe get out for a run or something instead? Cheaper & would save on petrol etc too

    This is very true ... I have decided I may have to make a list of strenuous jobs to do aorund the garden and smallholding :D
    Also - have just remembered that I can get 1/2 price swimming so no reason why I can't go for a couple of lengths of the pool every couple of days :D

    Never mind BHB. Look on the bright side. You only have 21 units left to use this month so you will get some more AF days in before the end of the month. After all we have 10 days to go yet ;)

    Actually - when you say it like that it doesn't seem so bad :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::p:p:p

    Fedupski, sorry matey I've just watched this smiley I put up yesterday and didn't realise it implies you didn't answer the door :rotfl: I thought I'd just pop round with a bunch of flowers, didn't watch it through, oops :o:)
