    Hiya Bunny, are you feeling any better with the new meds yet? Really hope you are on the up.

    Morning lovely peeps. My sister in law died at 4.50 this morning :sad::cry: - she went peacefully without regaining consciousness so a release really. My bil had been staying with her all day & night for the last few days, but last night as she seemed to be stable he went home to try and catch up on sleep. He got a call around 4.30 that her breathing had changed so rushed back and she died within minutes.

    So sorry to hear that Ellidee. It's good that he could be with her in her final peaceful moments.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Might be off on a mad dash to the Swindon outlet mall to chase BOGOF Denby seconds. Have rung BIL to see if he and SIL want to share the cost of getting a set for his parents/my in-laws. House of Fraser has 1/2 price Denby but the BOGOF on seconds prices is a slightly better deal.

    BIL was shocked I was thinking of Christmas already - I explained I am nearly half way there already - sales = bargains :)

    I'd rather be at home doing housework, but this is a good deal.

    Well I went for a 5k run this morning but half way round I started to feel carp :(

    Really tired, achy, stiff, cold, tummy ache and my right leg hurt because I was running so stiffly. :mad:

    returned home in a foul mood because it was so sh!te.

    Had a bath and feel a bit better now, hope it's better at run club tomorrow.

    I am v happy cos i ran 7.5 miles this morning...totally shocked myself...think the strength and interval training in the gym has paid off..

    DD1 whinged for most of the second half but to be fair she needs new trainers....:rotfl: she is in bed now!

    Cooking sunday dinner for the masses.....then the last couple of tax returns..and then a sit down methinks....oh still got the ironing to do.

    Normal service will be resumed next week..

    Ellie :grouphug: for you bil and you....

    Excellent run Sammy! :T
    I think I need new running shoes to be honest, I've had mine since last April.

    Question: Would you regard a shopping voucher as your cash or "free money"? I want to buy Denby for my in-laws for Christmas. In House of Fraser it is 1/2 price, in the outlet it is BOGOF (but seconds, so initial price per plate is cheaper than HOF). I have a voucher I can use in HOF but not the outlet mall. I did fancy using the voucher for a treat for me. If I use the voucher I spend about £10 less real cash (as the outlet is cheaper per item that takes up part of the voucher's value straightaway) but I don't get to treat myself later.

    What would you do?
