LOL ITG, I'd go absolutely loopy if Mr Carp made that suggestion (although it's been close to twenty years since I had a baby :-o )

I may not run today. I was only on an early shift again but I'm completely shattered. One of our patients needed specialling so I spent two hours wearing PPE in a stuffy side room trying to prevent a demented patient from falling over or climbing out of the window.

OH has half-joked on and off over the years that we should have a 4th child. I knew he wasn't serious when I really did think I might be pregnant, when Son2 (youngest child) was about 10, and he visibly paled when I told him. Since then I've never taken him seriously.

Just realised (TMI coming) that this year will mark the 20th anniversary of my 'snip'. We should have a cake or something.

McG - maybe send your wife a 20th anniversary card for the snip, it'll be a bit different.

Nice morning doing printy things, including a little commission. Running at around 5ish with the woman person. :-)

We drove past the snip clinic a while back and told the kids. They were all visibly shocked. Bizarre. The youngest is 13 and I'm 50.

Happy anniversaries, McG!

Linds, no way are you 50! You looked amazing at bootcamp. Mean Karen really does have magic powers.

My ex was 26 years without baby number 2 and a further one 5 years later .....can you tell that happily I'm not the mother to kids 2 & 3 :-)

Ferret, I'm lucky on as much as I finish work, at 1.30pm so only half day but tiring .

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.
