Power walking is probably gentler on the knees. In fact there's someone round my way who power walks faster than I run.:o
My back is a lot better but the knee is still knackered so I'm not going to be doing much exercise any time soon.

FWIW, I think a break from work (especially with the kind of employer you got last time!) could do you the world of good. Time to put you first for a change.

Gentle squishes to MELLY and TEA and all who are sad and struggling at the moment .Hugs to all who would like one .
WAS sorry I wasn't around yesterday . I have four grown up offspring and I can assure you if I had a pound for every time I had been verbally lashed by them in their growing up years , I would be able to afford a huge forest retreat for us all !
You were actually letting out all the pain and confusion you felt growing up . You did it to the one person you felt safe with . I have come to believe lot although it can feel hurtful at the time I am glad my children had that safe outlet . I hold no anger and know it comes with the territory for a loving parent . Your dad knew you loved him .I do not follow an organised religion but I do believe that the spirit and essence of those we loved lives on . He will be proud to see his little girl using a broken childhood to create a loving and safe place for all who need it . I include all others who feel any guilt in this .
In the words of my beloved Terry Pratchett " Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken ! "

I think our weigh-ins should be focussed on being healthy and about taking charge of our bodies for good so maybe you could try to join in with being healthy and happy and trying to get up to a decent weight Melly? Forgive me if it's completely not something you could contemplate even having on your radar.

Tea, I think part of the issue with living alone is overeating as it's quite difficult to cook for one. I am rubbish when it comes to cooking pasta or rice (or chips, but that's just me being greedy!) just for me as a single serving just looks so small and not worth cooking so I add a little more, then a little more, and another sprinkle thinking, well I can have it as leftovers tomorrow... then scoff the lot and feel terrible! DH works evenings so I'm often eating alone, even after all these years I'm still trying to get the hang of making myself nice, interesting, healthy meals that I won't have to eat for days on end or risk throwing food away...

That's lovely Polly.

Works good for me usually I think tea stops me from killing OH.
Had a call for a role paying silly money and a contract role paying £22 per hour paye which is silly money.
Er not sure how this has happened and am going to sit I the fort under a blanket with WaS while my brain calms down (if she will ha e me)

Guess who was seen hanging around our car night before last. ......

Oh and re: running, it's just not something I seem to be able to do?! My bum wobbles and it hurts so I don't bother, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! I know so many runners with shot knees, hips, ankles etc that I don't feel like I'm missing much!

I need the courage to get in contact with the local Roller Derby team and see what that's all about and if it's something I could do... I've been trying to muster up said courage for about 3 months now!!!
