Making chicken feed of my mortgage
Comments

Even if I did love exercising (I think the whole house has wet themselves laughing at that idea!:D) I have a dodgy hip and on/off plantar fasciitis in both feet - I don't think I'll be much competition!!:rotfl::rotfl:
Will look into fitbit ones - although I tend to lose my mobile in my bra at times
so a little gadget stands no chance! :rotfl:
The fitbit one has a clip - a blimmin sturdy one (but also its weak spot) - so it shouldn't go wandering around inside your bra!
btw, when I wear it on my t-shirt collar imstead of my trouser pockert, I am convinced it does not register every step.... MWC - is that your issue with your 'low' mumber of steps...
Likewise, shaking it up amd down does not magically add 100s of steps to the count
MWC - any advice...? NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
Get a dog with a handy collar and play ball with it :whistle:.

I've got a fitbit flex which is quite basic and I have to check my phone to see the exact steps I have done. DH has a fitbit charge which measures lots more things. You can get different coloured bands for mine though. I have navy, black, pink and line green:o
I spend about 6 hours a day driving and the rest sitting in an office (except on a weekend) so if you want someone to beat on a steps challenge I'm an easy target:rotfl:Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%

No cheating here :A 17,500+ steps today by putting one foot in front of the other (GG was getting a bit close for comfort so I dragged Mr MWC out for a 4.75 mile brisk walk this evening!)

And she had us all believing that boars are hunted for food in Spain … clearly they are just being caught to get back the fitbits GG has planted on them.Fleabay + Weebuy + Gumfree since started diary 94 items sold, £649.71 clear profit0 -
Pay day tomorrow :j
Dinner was delicious today - planned by me, cooked by Mr MWC - radicchio & red wine risotto (this recipe without the bacon) with venison sausages and roasted homegrown beetroot
Raining or not, I need to go out for a walk now as I've not done many steps today *big sigh*

Would it be possible to have 2 fitbits registered to 1person, and wear them both, thus recording double the number of steps??? Just wondering...NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0

It wasn't too bad - just drizzle - although I still came straight home as soon as I buzzed for 10,000 steps!
Plan for tomorrow:
- go to work but only until lunchtime
- book flights for trip to Spain
- make final payment on further advance
- submit claim for dental chargesMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
