    In fact I've just ordered the book that one of the book clubs is doing in August so I can read it on my holidays. They've got a Facebook group as well so I might pop on there and 'say hello' later :o

    Slides? Ha, yep good plan.. and if they're faced with a big wobbly tummy then it'll all be their fault for tempting me with crisps and cakes.. :rotfl:

    Had quite a productive evening, or at least steps in the right direction - contacted book group people, and a local walking group, and answered someone on a local forum who's looking for a running partner and lives very near me. Will see if anything comes of any of it!

    Moi??? RS sounds fine! I am fine too - with the extra focus today, I'm finding a few little niggles in the plan, and I hereby forgive myself for preserving my trading capital and not yet being a millionaire (sorry for the hijack, squirrel!). Pania, how you hon? You said you were up early cos worried?

    Morning you two!

    P - you ok? Not good stressing about work in the early hours! I'm ok though badly needing holidays NOW!!

    KC - yep I guess you need to make sure that there are no niggles, so I forgive you too ;) though the suspense is terrible, I can't wait till you actually get stuck in there :D

    Talking of going ahead with things, now I've made the first few steps to contacting people about groups etc, assuming they get back to me, I might need some nagging to actually go and do the things.... :o
