How sad can I get. I waited until 12.15am last night before buying a new hoover from Curry's but it was half price.

MSHAWX - I'll get your name added when updating, thank you for joining us and I hope your SIL's hubby is OK.

Keren - Well Done! :beer: (It's healthy beer, honest )

I have just finished my first frugal cycle of the day and set the counter on 'calories burned'. (OK, slight exageration, it's taken half an hour to recuperate! ) Does anyone remember 'Absolutely Fabulous'? :rotfl:
I made it to 250, despite my determination to make it to 300 and the first thing I thought of whilst puffing and panting, crawling upstairs with rubber legs and a numb bum, bouncing off the hall walls and then collapsing in a heap before sliding off the armchair onto the floor was... I NEED A FAG! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I can't join in this - I don't own a tapemeasure and i dont know anyone who does! could I go by weight instead?

Going to run, walk and do tennis and boxing on the Wii.

Take measurements of all of the following: neck, chest, waist, hips, thighs, tops of legs, calves, ankles, tops of arms and wrists and keep a note of them. You should have 15 numbers in total. If you take these in inches, then the number isn't so big.

Neck = 1 number
Chest = 1 number
Waist = 1 number
Hips = 1 number
Thighs = 2 numbers
Tops of legs = 2 numbers
calves = 2 numbers
tops of arms = 2 numbers
and wrists = 2 numbers
My total = 14 numbers

Am I missing something?
Also can I join in will measure later when I get home

Ah yes bum!

HOW COULD I FORGET THE BUM PART??? :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Added it into your list. I got told there are 2 measurements to use for this potentially expansive area of the anatomy, one measurement around the hip bone area and one around the 'fuller' areas

Will update the names etc after lunch and another 250 cals worth of frugal cycling :cool:

Oh, how I admire all you frantic frugal females exercising to the end of your little tethers.:D:beer:

I am pleased that this challenge is a year long one as a chunk of money came out of my account in DDs today to the tune of £267.75 :eek: But, some of those are due to reduce next month.
Nearly had a heart attack when the BT bill arrived as it was for over £450. When I had calmed down and regained the ability to read I realised that there is a bill for nearly £280 for the repair work done following the fire so our Landlord will pay that :T Also, our bill includes internet and we only have a cheap PAYG mobile as no reception so £59pm is not too bad. We usually have calls about £18 per quarter but made more following the fire.
