HH how did the shopping go ? I think all your walking is great and charting your progress helps.

I didn't do too badly Cumbria £75.56, but I put three items back to get the price down to that :T.

I didn't do many steps today as only walked around Mr T, 7,542 so far .

Blaze for me - which is a watch one, I used to have a zip, and then a one which are the little ones that you hide in pockets. Been tracking steps for years but have the odd fit of not bothering.
Badmemory totally agree on the 250 step thing, and the steps at midnight. I do circuits of the house while my bath is running. One day he will sort the slow running hot tap and my steps will drop.

How did the shop go HHoD? I think its really hard to buy enough milk on single shop, so our top ups tend to be milk and bread and then all of the co-op falls into my basket.

ETA well done on putting things back. Its too easy to just let it slip every time.

The shop was doing two for £2.50 which didn't seem much better :eek: :mad:. I'll walk to the Coop next time even if it is further.

Thanks Purplemum



My Fitbit, which is a Charge 2, does tell you the time and date, as well as steps, floors, heart rate, how many miles, how many calories and even how well you slept! What's not to love? :heartsmil:heartsmil:heartsmil

Mine was about £100 :eek: and DH got it from Argos (best price he could find) for an anniversary present .

So if you have a birtday/anniversary coming up Carboot, you could drop a few hints .

Thanks for that info:T. It does sound appealing:j

Sadly, there's no date when anyone might give me money or buy me a gift as expensive as that until my birthday at the end of October:(. Will have to self-fund it as I'd probably get a lot of use out of it when the weather picks up a bit.

carbootcrazy, do you do swagbucks? Collect Amazon vouchers, buy one that way. I do about £20 each month that way. They do sometimes get sold off cheap as they are discontinued (think I paid £30 for a One from Maplins) Keep an eye on ebay for people who don't get on with them, Have a look in the £shop for a simple pedometer if its just step counting that bothers you. Just some thoughts! Ask around, a girl I worked with bought one and never actually wore it, more money than sense.

I dance around while I clean my teeth to clock up more steps :rotfl:.

I physically can't fit enough milk or bread into the fridge or freezer for a full week and fruit tends to go off quickly, but I try not to buy anything else on top up shops.

My shop was only £2.50ish over budget today .
