so I have stopped blushing now and can admit my first visit to the gym on Sunday was very embarrassing!

Did induction at a small local gym but membership allows use of all council gyms.....so I decided to be brave and visit the bigger gym as it has a better pool - wanted to swim too.

So, parked the car with no major drama, dropped my bag in a big puddle and tripped up the step......but it was early sunday morning so noone saw right?

In I go......say to receptionist I would like to use gym and pool.....she points without looking and says 'gym up there pool over there' ...great thanks

up the stairs I go watched by all the people already in the gym on treadmills/bikes/weights through massive glass walls (why do gyms all need to have so much glass and SO many mirrors???and why are so many people in there at 730 on a sunday morning???)....straight ahead I see the gym doors.......so I push .....oh not opening....push the other one......ah locked......hmmmmm......oh entry thing on wall......swipe my card- nothing......swipe again .....nothing.....turn card over.....flashes green - quickly push door- darn it too slow......swipe again (by this time I have gained a new audience of gym members who are obviously bored with their machines!) push wrong door......swipe again (now blushing ) at last I gain entry to the gym :T:T

walk through second set of doors (without incident) look around.....hmmmmm where are the changing rooms???:mad:
Ask some random bloke ....he says 'back out there along corridor'.....ah ffffiddlesticks only just got in and have to go out again.......sure I heard a snort of giggles from the gym residents!

Now I walk back out towards doors that gave me so much trouble 30 seconds before.......I knew they were locked but tried them anyway - must be a release button eh?? turn to left and there on the wall next to me is a switch - push it CS !!!!!:T:T:T





lights went out :o:o:o


I quickly turn the lights back on ......by this time I think some gym residents fell of their machines, weak from laughing- I just stood there mortified!

Random bloke gets off his weight machine thingy ...and presses another button to let me out - I havent even reached the !!!!!!! changing rooms yet!!!!

changing rooms- another swipe entry door.....mastered that one - I have become an expert by now!!!

Sit in changing rooms with head in hands deciding to go home:o:o:o trust me only the fact I have paid for this membership kept me there !

Managed the treadmill ok then tried the crosstrainer......struggled to climb on it (short legs!) then stood there pressing buttons to my hearts content .....nothing.....pushed some more buttons ...still nothing.....another gym resident takes pity and stops laughing long enough to tell me I have to start moving my feet to make it start......I mean really??? I just want to go home now!!!

Oh CS that did make me laugh sorry. But well done for not escaping at the first opportunity though from your recap not sure how easy it would have been to get away.

Mr Sainsbobs putting prices up again:( and Mr T putting items on offer and also putting other prices up:(:(, thwarting much of my current Tvs S saved list. But - doubtless other items will be, at last, on offer in Mr S and can be added? I v.much hope!:)

Oooo, I have not had a caramel wafer for years, has to be a Tunnocks though (I think that is how you spell it)

Oh no CS, how mortifying

But thanks for sharing, absolutely hilarious :T

I particularly liked the bit where you turned the lights off :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've got Tvs M fillers but it only has 3 items in it:( - Eday Value Malt Loaf (and even that needs checking as it's available in M instore to see that it is still 28p but not online), Eday Cornflakes 500g and Eday Caramel Wafers (5 pack, 120g). Clearly some more searching and updating to be done(:(:):question:)
