    Well done Linda xx

    Thanks babe, I probably won't be able to move for the rest of the day though now.

    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.
  • Well, I havent moved all day but thats because I am a lazy mare

    That's brilliant Linda. The furthest I've moved today is from my bed to the kettle and back.

    I'm glad I got up early to do it this morning, we met at 8.30 and it was a gorgeous clear sunny day!
    Passed a few fellow runners and cyclists on the way who all said hello which was nice, I have a nasty bruise on the sole of my left foot though because like an idiot I jumped up onto the windowsill yesterday to get a better look at where a pigeon committed suicide by flying into my hubby's car. I misplaced my foot and came down hard on the top edge of the radiator instead!

  • Ouch, that sounds painful.

    I used to read all of his books but then he went thru a spat of crap ones and I stopped...this one is so GRIPPING but I have to stop reading it because I get worked up about the characters! Im such a goose.

    I've been doing bits of housework, changing bedding, bit of dusting, done the ironing, but still feel tired from my cold so just having a 'pootling' day.

    Nice day though :)

    Right. Got my lunch from the kitchen and am now back in bed. Lunch = 2 Shape yogs and a packet of BGTY crisps :)

    Am halfway through my PPI claim form so will carry on with that.

    Had a row with DD1 about washing 2 plates. If I hear "it's not my job" any more I'll go on strike. Then we'll see whose job it is.

    Added £8 to my BB fun pot..........going to find the MSE free quidco money to see what's on there these days.....applied for a couple of CC's through quidco, won't use them, but if I get them (they all went to refer) that's a nice few quid for nothing. I've done that before and it's a nice little money maker if you can get them approved.
