    Didn't clock up many steps, although I've done 15 flights of stairs, lol. So I've done 25min of Zombies Run tonight, obviously indoors as the wee ones are in bed, so I used the mini trampoline. My ankles are now getting used to terra-firma, lol. But I've met my goal :T

    Not you too? My DH uses this to get him running. It drives me nuts.
    I have my playlist set up - Chariots of Fire, Rocky and The Magnificent Seven along with I Vow to Thee my country (wedding anthem) interspersed repeatedly alongside other music. It worked yesterday - 57min 12. Yayyyyyy. I'd said I wanted to do sub 60 for my first 10k but I wasn't expecting to after my chest infection in March and a hilly course.

    Only problem now is I have to beat that on the flat in June:rotfl:

    Kitchen scrubbed. About to hobble off to bed via the Tiger Balm.

    Morning all. Hope you're all ok.

    Yesterday before the very long day at the paid stuff, I did the dailies, hoovered right through, dusted the dusty bits in the LR (so ahead for today's list), changed the bedding and got it all washed, and dusted in the bedroom.

    Today, I will do the jobs in the hallway.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all.

    Hugs, sticks, spoons & vibes to all.

    Today I'm going to concentrate on my sewing pile. I have some uniform labels to stitch in, some to remove, pillow cases to repair, microfibre mop heads to fix, dog toys to repair etc. This counts as a toots list job as some of them have been there for a while :o:D

    Thanks for the thread Natty. I've come out of the woodwork because we are putting our house on the market this week and I need to keep on top of the 'prepped for photos' look that we have here today. Hope you'll have me back? :hello::embarasse
