Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Not good Mrs H. flight sounds like very hard work Fleecy.

Am trying to be super organised at the moment home and work wise and not spend so much time on her but staff have really pissed me off today so need a break.

Friend of mine, very fit aged 47, had a heart attack yesterday. Totally shocked and given me a kick up the butt to sort my overweight body out.

Piyo class for me tonight - wanted to run to it but 50/60 mph wind and heavy rain might make that not happen.

sleep dust worked for me too last night

That's not good news, Mrs H. Hopefully something bigger and better will come of it, though, as is so often the way with change (though it is horrid at the time :-()

All these people travelling to Oz - I have envy, sinj, though wouldn't fancy such a long flight.

Paula - I plan my entire menu for the week (breakfast, lunches and dinners)
It works really well. Saves money and is a lot easier!

While I'm on the subject, does anyone know if Aldi/Lidl have good deals on big bags of nuts?

My brother was "let go" from BT the year before last, - he'd worked for them for 27 years, and is in his lateish 50s. He started doing care work, and rather to my surprise seems to be enjoying it (though it's not well paid, by anyone's standards).

I used to plan, when I was the one at home doing the shopping, but I've slipped out of the habit recently. I will get back into the habit now, it definitely makes life a whole lot easier.

Tonight is steak sandwiches (ciabatta for the bread eating people, haven't quite thought about what I'll do, maybe just have the steak and some veggies).

I plan (some might say a tad obsessively!), it's partly because I order most of our meat and veg from a local farm shop that delivers - but needs an order on Monday for delivery on Friday. I also find given our rather hectic evening schedule it's the only way to avoid too many takeaways.

I try to plan but am foiled by never knowing when Mr fleecy is home and also by neither child eating proper meals, so end up with whatever's in the veg box and stuff from the butcher and fish shop and local shops. Mr fleecy cooks at weekends and does that annoying thing of going to the supermarket for one meal and not buying anything else we need...
My shoes were great! My Garmin got hiccups so added extra mileage and I need to work out the actual distance (same river route as last time so I'll just use that). Most enjoyable, didn't even dare wear a cap and glad I didn't!

About This Thread

Maintained by iRan
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2016 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

bunting and 700er medals are often spotted around here.

Happy running :-)
