    My fitbit clocks up some steps when I am driving (I do a lot of driving) so maybe you will still be 'walking' when you are 'flying' and still be ahead! I am a long way behind you in steps, I did lose my charger for a week so that's my excuse:o;)


    Well done on the weight loss.:)

    Just remembered that I needed to buy walking trousers today for my holiday :doh:

    Today I have mainly been ironing :( only 2 dresses and 1 pair of linen trousers left to do :)

    We popped to the shops this morning and I bought a pair of walking trousers - 2 sizes smaller than I wore in Norway last summer - reduced from £39.99 to £16.99 :T

    I've also planted the broad beans, a few perennials I had in pots and tidied the back garden - decided to leave planting the potatoes until we get back.

    The Dads and that woman came for dinner and were generally just very annoying! I have given my dad my plug plants to look after, some seeds to sow for me and 4 bags of clothes to take to Oxfam though :kisses3:

    Eggs OUT 3 (lunch - poached for me and scrambled for Mr MWC)

    According to Mr MWC "there was some touching but it wasn't too bad..."

    Only 2 sleeps until our holiday :j

    Thanks VMD :)

    Didn't think I'd done many steps today but I just checked and at nearly 14,000 - >5,000 since I got home and started packing!!!

    Very glad that we've got a 60 kg luggage allowance, not looking forward to lugging it around Vietnam though...

    Don't forget to pack the fitbit charger, would be dreadful if it ran out when you were on holiday :rotfl:.

    Have a great time :T.
