    My last day off today so am preparing for the rest of the but is it just me - or has jogging bottoms increase exponentially in prices? I remember being able to buy them for something like 5-10 quid... the cheapest I have found so far is 15 quid with some cashback from quidco :eek:

    Only need one pair so I can start going to the gym soon, as found out the local one to me is only 23 quid a month. Still.... 15 quid?

    Tell me about it - just went up to Lilliwhites for some running gloves and joggers (to wear over shorts when racing before warming up) and they were sold out of both :eek::eek::eek:

    'We have the tight long bottoms though' was their helpful response - no thanks they are £30 :eek::eek:

    If you want to web buy try sportsdirect - they may have some cheap in the sale or pop down to sports soccer (thinks that what its called) and get some footie ones - they are usually a lot cheaper but are 3/4 length :cool:

    Well he only works upstairs :D I think he may be smiley as he's actually busy today, it seems to make a huge difference to him.

    There's a few for a tenner on http://www.mandmdirect.com (Quidco cashback too).. think mine are all Primark specials although I only wear them for slobbing about at home.

    Cheers guys!

    I actually ended up on the tesco clothing website and found some at 6 quid a pop :) am only just getting into this whole exercise regime - and tbh only because I want to save cash by cycling to work and the local gym is 23 quid a month, unlimited swim and gym (although it will be a LOOOONNNGGG while until I make use of the swimming part, don't want them to think they have a beached whale stuck in the pool :eek:).

    Now I just need to find some dirt cheap trainers and book my induction class!

    Mr Sunday told me last night that he wants to buy running leggings but isn't sure he will dare wear them.

    It's wrong that I need a cold shower at the thought of him in lycra....isn't it? :rotfl:
