    Hello can i just say that you don't procrastinate. Look at what you have both achieved!!!!

    I dont have energy. One jump does not make any serious exercise. It just reminds me that if i do it again i must wear a bra!!!

    I have seen those trampolines in argos so they dont make a noise-right they would not have an impact on your joints with the soft landing might look into that.

    This made me laugh! I used my imagination thinking about the old codger! Even if he is non-existent, it still made me laugh!
