It’s just a FitBit Charge, nothing fancy. Don’t forget I walk to work and back and that’s 16,000 in total. I’m only 5’1 so probably need to do more steps than someone taller to cover the same mileage although I walk with a decent stride. Yesterday I walked to work and back, then I was walking about and on my feet for 2 hours plus at the event, then I had a good walk around the city centre shops before heading home. That’s how they mount up.Seasidegal58 said:Well done on finding great trousers at a bargain price. M&S too, so they should wear well. 👍
Thank goodness the drill dried out! Do you still think Mr SA will be pestering for a new one now!
Amazed at all the steps you manage to do. I never get anywhere near your numbers, but I feel I walk for ages sometime. What sort of pedometer/ fit bit do you use?I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Happy Saturday 🥂
Did a ClubFit class this morning then we went to the big Mr T with the soft plastic recycling. The dog got a walk out of it and we came back via the park so she got a ball run too. Dropped another 2 bags of clothes off at the CS while we were out.DS and the GK’s arrived after lunch and DS helped Mr SA sort out his tools, drills and chargers. They’re all together now in a huge toolbox Mr SA found in the shed. It’s pacified him thank goodness but he’s put a padlock on the box to stop me getting in 🤣
Had a hair appointment after that and have made the next 2 appointments as the 2nd one falls Christmas week and they’re already getting booked up.Have done 20,000 steps so far today but there will be a few more before I sit down.Prosecco is chilling and tonight’s dinner is pizza, wedges and salad.Right off to watch Strictly 💃I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Are you opening a book (a là @redofromstart with her power cuts) on when Mr SA calls you at work because he's lost the padlock key? I'll have a pound on Tuesday mid morning please.
Enjoy your prosecco, pizza, and telly 😊5 -

I agree with @PennysIntoPounds that he will lose the key by early next week! Of course he will then be pestering for a new drill or whatever to get the blinkin' thing open!

I dont know how long it will take for the key to go missing but I bet it wont be long and you willhave to find it. Do you have a duplicate by any chance?
