    TOM for me, so my energy levels are low anyway today - plus I'm a morning person, so if I want to be working into the evening, I need to start motoring early in the day to build up momentum.
    I am not too enamoured that I have pledged to do a long run in the morning either :o

    We are taking the girls out to a park in the morning, so before we go, I'll run (and tell myself I'll just do 3 miles :D), then I'm going to turf DH out of bed and gloss the other half of the skirting. Then when we get back I'll emulsion the chimney breast, stairs and landing. I will, I will, I WILL!

    Runchum's training schedule says 2 hours 40 for tomorrow morning.......so I will be getting the miles in as soon as I have dropped my student off at the coach.

    Runchum would be getting the bum's rush from me! :rotfl: 2hours 40?! :eek: No thanks

    If I manage 1 hour 40 I'll think I deserve a medal!
    I really need new trainers and went to get some today that I saw last week in the sale - sale is now over :cool: So am off to look online, as I think I have a voucher.......

    she does have a marathon to get round at the end of September, so we pretty much HAVE to do that much!

    Just got back from A&E. I had just prepared everything ready for painting; washed the paintwork, masked ready for glossing and was about to start when DH yelled for me.

    Little DD was eating a Fab lolly and decided to bite a chunk of the stick too - and swallow it :cool:
    As it looked like a largeish piece and was splintered I thought it best to get her checked over. Of course as soon as we got there she was dancing around, as happy as Larry. I asked the TRiage nurse hopefully if I was being over-cautious and could we go home - but sadly not.

    So a chest x-ray and 3 hour wait later and all is well.

    She was also up all night with a cough, so no run as I slept in. We took them to see Toy Story 3 this morning (and brought MSE snacks and drinks with us from home :money:), so I didn't feel guilty leaving them to paint this afternoon. So all plans ki-boshed :(

    Hope you've had a better day.

    Glad things were not serious at the hospital, but not exactly the day that you would choose, I am sure!

    Thanks, she is completely fine. Pesky kids :cool:

    I've put on my painting gear - so after I've eaten the lovely dinner DH has just made, I AM going to get something productive done :D
