  • Perhaps better conditions today than expected? I think I would need that cap firmly hairclipped to my head to keep it on here.


    Thinking of you. Whilst on sofa with a nice cuppa.


    Hope you had a laugh on the way around and they saved you a goody bag.

    Good luck with the run cheery :j:j:j

    When you say "another" email does that mean you've sent lots :rotfl:

    I hope so :D what a jumped up little ooooh, it makes me cross when customers get spoken to like that. It wouldn't have took seconds to do a sign and instead they were rude and unhelpful :mad: the customers pay their wages. He's obviously not very mse ;)

    I remember marathons before they were called snickers :rotfl: I easily did a whole one or two :D every week!
    You're probably way too young to get the joke :(

    :rotfl: :rotfl: very funny misspickle. I'm younger than Cheery (only just but shh! ;) ) and I got it :rotfl:

    Well done for your HM cheery. I'm kinda glad I wasn't running today after seeing the weather and all the wet/muddy/drowned rats pictures posted by my running club on FB today. Made me almost glad I had a decent excuse not to be running too ;)

    :D

    Kind of wish I'd had a decent excuse Starnac :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm not that old Miss Pickle!! :D Most amusing :D I do love a nice snickers :D

    Race was hard work :rotfl: Sister got lost on the way :rotfl: we were SO very far behind everyone else we had to do a final lap of the race course after everyone else had finished :o :rotfl: :rotfl: All by ourselves - all deserted and very surreal :rotfl: Marshalls turned the music up as we finished, and 10 of them came out in high vis jackets to run with us over the line :o :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Home and exhausted now! :eek: In need of a nice bath :D

    oops, missed you there chocforever, sorry! :o :hello:

    They did indeed save us a goodbag - we could probably have had a few since quite a lot of people didn't turn up :rotfl: We actually came in within their cut off time, so I would have been extremely cross if they hadn't! :eek:

    And as for my complaining email, er, there has been just one more :o but that was about staff reluctance to be on tills and the amount of times we've just dumped our baskets and gone to the supermarket next door so a similar issue :D:o :rotfl: Hate complaining and don't usually do it but I WANT them to be better!

    So, while I'm waiting for my bath to cool down (because we STILL haven't fixed the cold tap :o :rotfl: ) - FLYLADY!

    Today is Day 6 of my babysteps :D And I did, as requested, get dressed to (running) shoes, and am now thinking about negative voies in my head :D

    Must confess I haven't yet spent two minutes clearing off a 'hot spot' (place where you dump a load of stuff and it attracts more stuff) - but while the bath cools I might spend 2 mins tackling the clothes pile in the bedroom :j :j

    Been very nice this week keeping the sink clean and tidy before I go to bed - even did it last night when we had friends round :j
  • Hope that bath was good lass and yay to baby steps!

    Well done on the race xxxx
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:
  • Well done on completing the half marathon. Very impressive.


    I'll be interested to read what you sign up for next.


    Have a good week x

    Thanks chocforever :D I confess it's my 7th half marathon (I think) and 5th slowest, so right now it doesn't feel too impressive :o :rotfl: :rotfl:

    But thanks anyway :D

    Triathlon in the spring is the next thing, I think! :j Undoubtedly I'll come last in that too :D This will by third, but my sister's not done one before so I'm hoping I'll be able to get slightly in front of her at some point... ;):D

    Face STILL hurting and woke me up at 3am again :eek: so off to the ominously named 'sit and wait' appointment at the dentist at lunchtime :( Rather fed up of it now! :(

    Anyway - Flylady today.... Day 7 of the babysteps for me...

    BabyStep: Day 7
    So far we are:
     Getting dressed to lace-up shoes
     Keeping our sink shining
     Read your FlyLady emails
     Looking at our posted reminders
     Recognizing the negative voices
     Put out your Hot Spot for two minutes. Just
    pick one!
    Today we are going to add a new habit to our before-bed routine. Tonight, before you hop in
    bed, I want you to pick out what clothes you are going to wear tomorrow. You can lay them on a
    chair, on a shelf, hook in the bathroom, or on a hanger on your door knob.


    Oddly enough, I do actually do this most days (NOT just from the bathroom floor!! :rotfl: ) - a habit I picked up from flylady things over the years and one of the few things I didn't drop. Barely any lights in our bedroom and as I often leave for work quite early I can't be banging around waking Mr Cheery up. So - tick! :j :j

    Mission today (which I'm keeping up with when I can, but concentrating on the babysteps...)

    We're in the bathroom and guest room...
    1. Wipe round the back of the toilet :eek:
    2. 15 mins decluttering in the guest room (for me this is the attic, where I also work and where all my craft stuff is. Had a lot of decluttering lately and many things are packed into plastic tubs ready for (eventually) moving, but there are still bits lying around!

    Right then, got a couple of hours to squeeze a bit of work in before I have to go to the dentist..
  • Well done cheery :T:T:T
