Must learn when your friend suggests a challenge the correct response is "Pass the crossword"

There are other challenges. To do with party snacks...

NOT "Yes" followed by her suggesting the Coast to Coast cycle ride :eek::eek::eek:
Hence tomorrow I will not be leisurely reading the papers over a cup of tea, I will be training by cycling 31 miles in 3 hours.
The whippet look is in???

It will give you a slender arse. Not to be confused with a slenderman arse...

The chains on a bicycle may not be the ones you're thinking of...

It isn't giving me a slender !!!!....it's actually giving me a bigger !!!! but it appears only my thighs and my !!!! are getting bigger, everything else is getting smaller and lighter.

Was told at work yesterday that I am looking very lean so I explained the principle of getting my bike, me and luggage over the northern pennines and which of these elements has variables on the weight front. As you can see Zed I have really worked hard on that taking compliments bit. :rotfl::rotfl:

Have also been told by my friend (organiser of trip) to ease off on the training so will be doing my last bit of cycling (around 28 miles with a big hill) tomorrow and after that concentrating on sit ups, sleeping,yoga and eating copious quantities of pasta! We start on Friday.

Work has gone plate spinning mad. 7 sites on the go and the requirement to programme in possible sites, confirm existing sites and report on completing site. Realised yesterday that one sites next completion date has come forward to four weeks time and I have to give 6 weeks notice on its completion :eek::eek::eek: Am drowning in forms and have had one manager complaining to my manager that I am not filling in the forms soon enough :eek::eek::eek:
Really feeling slightly overwhelmed.
Have decided after yesterdays near meltdown that I am going to offload about 4 forms to my colleague. Hopefully that will ease my head slightly.

Also feeling STRESSED about the economy and Jeremy Corbyn. Like....hello brain....Do you have ANY control over these items?
The only satisfaction is that Boris appears to have shafted himself along with the rest of us, but really, did we have to take part in your little poker game?

Are we really going to Brexit with still no control over immigration, no increase in funding to the NHS and a shedload more paperwork if we want to go to Europe.....and CHILL.

Right, I have small items of luggage to purchase and a bank balance to check.

None of this :beer: to ease my pain for the next week either. Yes I'm moving from the Paul Gascoigne training schedule to the Bradley Wiggins training schedule. The next beer is booked in for a week on Sunday.

So that's win, win and win. Or ka-ching! as it's sometimes known...

Certainly better than a crossword.

Because sit-ups aren't training...

I am surrounded by worry-worts! :rotfl: The economy will be fine provided nobody does anything *really* stupid - even then, the problem (and them) won't last for long.

and Jeremy Corbyn.

Why are you worried about him? He's a politician and so interchangeable with other politicos.

There will be control over immigration - one way or another. Over 17 million people have voted for this, and have subsequently indicated immigration is an important part of that choice. For "elite" politicians in their ivory towers to override that and to say to so many people that their peaceful vote is worthless - that would take this country to a place where even I would start to worry.

Have you bought the shorts?

And the branded lunchbox? :rotfl:

And so to bed for me and my Horlicks. About 28 miles tomorrow!
Weather forecast. ....dryish!

Hope goes ok. :eek:
Will be thinking of you my friend.

Good luck - have fun!

Butti

We did it. Weather not too bad. Hartside Pass horrendous. Stairs possibly an issue today!

So glad that it went well
