    sounds like you could do with an alternative form of exercise - doing the same thing over and over can sometimes seem a bit boring at times. have you thought about getting a bicycle?? i find there's nothing quite like a good ride to help get the blood circulating and it can really help freshen up your day :)
    halfords have some really goods deals on at the moment with most bikes being half-price or less. no need to go on the road these days either with cycle paths in most areas. dont see the point of being in a sweaty smelly gym when you can be out in the fresh air :)

    Lol why don't we get a tandem an d we can pedal like hell along the coast :D. I have thought about getting a foldaway bike so I can put it in the boot and drive somewhere where it would be safe but don't know if I would actually use it enough to warrant it. Rode a bike on a road once years ago and got knocked off poor Susie. Or of course there s sexercise ;):D

    Might have been tempted myself, they are not easy to come by for a small double and DD has one, headboards are easily recovered :D That said, it would have had to be in a communal area and obviously rubbish. BTW, it wasn't me :rotfl::rotfl:

    Its DS bed and I am hopeless at anything to do with recovering things , sewing etc.

    Now do I believe you that it wasn't you who took it :p:D:D

    Aau, if you tried to teach me how to put multiple quotes in a post, it would cut down my posts dramatically and you would easily achieve your next star!
