    You are sounding energetic and positive. Glad you are on leave now and great DH is off too  :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Thank you!  I didn't know there was a platinum.  That will be next then!  I record it all in the app, so it tells me when I've achieved it.  I'm on gold now, so will have to make sure I do the strength sessions. i clearly need them!

    Thank you :grin:  My shoulders are hurting though :D:D
