Do you think it might help encourage to get out more? But I have been out 2 days this week.
How did the fashion show go?

I do love my Fitbit. I've only had it since September but it definitely encourages me to go out more and walk around more. I even jiggle around while I clean my teeth so I gdt more steps :rotfl::rotfl:.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Lots of offers on them at the moment Pauline, search for fitbit on hotukdeals. You either end up obsessed or it goes in the drawer after a week. It makes me do more, although most of my steps are inside.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

I try to do 10,000 steps a day but I only manage it usually if I do my morning walk.I love my Fitbit had it three years now and wouldn't be without it xx
I've had mine just over two months but I love it too.

The sleep thing has been particularly interesting as I've been able to track the difference that I've seen since starting treatment from being ill - amazing!
Hope the dress fitted!
I love mine. The sleep tracker must be very interesting for you. Some days I feel carp and I check my app and see that I didn't sleep very much, which iscan interesting correllation.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I love my Fitbit too. I'm lacking on steps hugely at the minute x
How many dobyou aim for Nicnak? I aim for 10,000 a day. I can clock up quite a few around the house as we have an attic room, so I reach my stairs target every single day.

I've done 10,048 steps and 36 stairs already today and I have't left the house apart from going to Mr T :eek:. Flippin wedding preparations :mad:.
I spent £71.35 on food in Mr T and £17 on food and drink for both journeys. So could be a lot worse :T.
I tried on my dress and I can zip it up, but I can't breathe or sit down :mad:. I'm so annoyed with myself as it would have fitted in the summer :mad:. So it will have to be the black jacket and trousers.
This evening I've been getting out suits and shirts and getting people to try them on. I've also been washing shirts and a million other items of clothing!
At Mr T I bought a wedding card and we need to buy something from their wedding list tonight. We can only afford £20, so have decided to donate this towards their back packing trip abroad rather than buy a lame present, as the stuff on their list is quite pricey.
And now, DS3 has said he needs to do his UCAS form TONIGHT :eek::eek::eek:. He told DH yesterday but he forgot to tell me :eek::eek::eek::mad::mad:.

I'm sure the trousers and jacket will look just as nice. Have you got a nice bright/sparkly top to jazz them up?
Good idea to give money instead of a pricey present.
As for DS3 .....:eek:I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
