Well done on the running, particularly given everything else that is going on. Yes think weather not great for the weekend...maybe give it a miss? Put your feet up instead

Yes, we're not booting today Going to go meet a friend and then go and get my trainers instead

I'd like to eventually do Parkrun but prefer to do it at my own pace to start with. My knee was a bit painful yesterday (old injury) so I'm definitely going to get some trainers. Especially as little jwil wants me to do junior Parkrun with him tomorrow!

I wish you could get child benefit for adult children :rotfl:. A great idea to do couch to 5k, that will improve your fitness and give you more energy (eventually ).

I know, CB is a lifesaver sometimes, it's nice having that payment in addition to wages!

I really need to try and get fit, so hopefully this will work, and yes some more energy would be much appreciated!

Well little jwil flew round parkrun this morning, knocking 6 minutes off his previous time! I had no chance of keeping up with him so I took a shortcut so I could see him finish :heart2:

I obviously have a lot of work to do though on getting fitter!

I got my trainers yesterday, spent £10 more than I had planned, but sold something on ebay which will cover the additional. Caught up with a couple of friends too so that was nice

Car boot was cancelled today but I wasn't going anyway due to junior parkrun.

Trying to decide whether to car boot tomorrow. DH is working so it will just be me and the kids. It rules out the one I like to sell at on a bank holiday as there would be too many fights between me and little miss who would want to go to the park, but can't because she's too little and I wouldn't be able to supervise!

There's another one in the afternoon by the coast so might go there, but will see how I and the kids feel in the morning.

Going to try and start wk 2 of c25k tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

Got up at 5am yesterday :eek: to get my walk in before DH went at 6. I knew I wouldn't do it otherwise.

We then went to sell at a boot sale in the afternoon. Didn't do fantastically well, but some more stuff gone including the baby walker which is quite bulky.

Little miss is in nursery and little jwil is at holiday club today so I've got the day to myself It never gets easier though, he looked so little and sad this morning. I just want him to get used to it while I'm available rather than when I'm stuck at work. They are going bowling today though so hopefully that will perk him up a bit and break the ice with some of the other children.

Not sure what my plans are for today. I've got lots I want to do, but am quite shattered, so will just potter about.

Wow 5am :eek:. That's some serious dedication. Well done :T.
You're doing so well with the decluttering and selling bits. You've definitely motivated me to pull my finger out and sell some bits. Hope you have a lovely day today.
