I did, from OH, and I get chocolates from him every birthday and Christmas and actually I'd much rather I didn't. I've tried very gently and tactfully to say please don't but he refuses to take the hint. And of course I end up eating them :-(

That's the problem when you're given chocolates. A friend gave me a box, I should have out the in the food bank but I ate them quickly to get rid of them. pig

I’m right now finishing off my box of white Lindor. Plus MrsPH found Quality Steet on special so we’ve now got a box of those to deal with.

I need to get rid of the After Eights quickly too ....

Changing the subject completely - can anyone recommend a core strengthening routine? I have googled but I’m now overwhelmed by all the options. I’d like something relatively simple that I can build on which I can do maybe 3 or 4 times a week (without weights, etc).

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: 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. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
