  • Hi TG, I have a feeling I'm trying to roll uphill though, rather than downhill :rotfl:

  • I've located where the cashback shows up on my statements, so £147 will be credited today. I'll be OPing that once the DD goes out as well.

    Double checked C@scto cashback and that's due on the anniversary.

    Mystery dining reimbursement for a meal between Xmas and the new year has been credited.

    There's certainly a lot to keep track off :o

  • I think all of us are probably a little barking, as we are on this mad journey :)

    The only ones not barking round here are the dogs.

    I havn't been noting the amount I've been Tilly tidying, think I will need to start ... It certainly does all mount up :)
  • Evening, I'd say slow and steady wins the race, but at these amounts, it's going to be a long run, I guess that's why it's a marathon not a sprint :rotfl:

  • Hello Tilly :wave:
    Room for a little un in your diary?
    Thought I'd come and make my mark in it :) Got a fair bit of reading to catch up in it though... Where's the weekend when I need it :(
  • Hello Pix, always room for a littleun :)

    You may need to ask GG for one of her Olympic smileys if you manage to read all the diary :o

    3 minutes of punching Mr T - he was using pads, whilst I used boxing gloves. Goodness I LOVED that. I couldn't do any more

    5 minutes of kettle bell swings
    2 minutes of kettle bell up and overs (lying on a Swiss ball, weight straight up, over head, down as far as possible, then slowly back up) no idea what they are really called.

    2 minutes of medicine ball swings

    3 minutes on a stepper.

    15 minutes activity, not much but pretty blinking enjoyable :)
