Hello everyone, I am now up to NSD #8, very pleased with this. I did buy my travek card for the week yesterday but I had budgeted for this and it is necessary and will save me lots of money this week so I am not counting it

Morning all!
Watching breakfast news, they're talking again about raising fuel tax in January. Petrol is so expensive now! I really need to think more seriously about those little drives I do that I don't need to. For instance, lately I've taken to driving to the post box, because it's a ten minute walk... I think I need to work on combining journeys a bit more. See what savings I can make.

God this is bad, this is why I can't afford to learn to drive, and I should really as I am 27 :rotfl:
BUT it does keep me fit and save me money. Do think about your little drives, as I don't drive a 10min walk is nothing to me at all, but I do think this takes getting used to when you drive, I am lazy haha so I can see myself driving everywhere when i finally get a car.
Try doing it a few times when the weather is fair and see how you feel. I am sure that it won't seem very far after a few times when you get used to it, it will save you some liquid gold and it gives you time to think and clear your head.

You are absolutely right Suzitiger!

I shouldn't be driving a 10 minute walk! I never would have dreamed of doing that only a couple of years ago! It's funny how quickly people get lazy when they have a car.

I will have to go to the post box in the next day or two, and I shall walk it and think of you! As well as the petrol I'm saving.

That being said, I do struggle with longer distances sometimes. I have diagnosed shin splints which can flare up very suddenly, without warning, and can make walking incredibly painful. Touch wood though, I know my triggers (walking at speed and long but low upward hills), so haven't had an attack for quite a few months now.

I was like that ........ until I got the dog!


Not declaring as yet - am being tempted by online shopping (but not given in yet).

I do actually need to look as really need to start :eek: C:eek: shopping as doesn't look like I'm going to get anywhere near real shops for a while .... will try to compile a list today and order all at once!;)

Never been tempted EVER to get a dog. Yappy, smelly, jumpy, needy things that can't be left for more than a few hours at a time? No thanks!

I would like a cat someday though. I don't at the moment because I live in a flat and firmly believe that cats should have outdoor space to roam, which I can't offer at the moment.

With the cost of petrol looking like it's going up again, I will be making an effort to walk more. I just worry about my shins playing up though, because if I have an attack, I need to go home then. A 30 minute sit down to have coffee isn't good enough, but it'll just start up again the moment I start walking again.
If it comes on, that's my walking done for the day. Some days, when I go to the supermarket and have to park quite far down, my legs bother me because the carpark is slightly on a hill, and that's one of my worst triggers. I need to learn to slow down as I walk really! But I want to just get in and out as fast as possible! I'm my own worst enemy sometimes.
