we did the Strollathon quite a few times.

That was a 10 mile walk, taking in all the attractions of London.

The kids did it with us, it was a breeze, so many fascinating things to look at, you didnt realise how far you were walking.

Needs must Shelly, needs must.

Stephen when I use to limp on either the right side ot left depending on which hurt the most, My husband use to tell me to take the lose change out of my pocket then I would walk without a limp LOl.

He was like that had a good senses of houmor , I never stopped laughing being married to him. or was it because I married him,. we were married 38 years.nearly 39 when he died.,

Funny name for a babies bottom cream why butter I wondered did you put it on with a knife. ?.

My father in Law use to use Coconut oil for his head he was going thin on top. and swore that this would make it grow again.

I am in work tomorrow, yes. This is my last Sunday for about 5 weeks.

We get out bonus at the end of March, and if we do too much overtime Feb/March, it get swallowed up in tax. So no-one bothers, and they cant get anyone to come in on Sundays. We dont know how much it will be this year, but last year it was 15 percent, which was fab.

Oh Neil Oliver - swoons. I do like long hair on a bloke. Reminds me of an old flame who had long golden locks, he looked at himself in EVERY shop window we passed. Gave him the BIG E.

Dont know if you have seen the article in the Mail. Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter is being used by those in the know, as a face moisturiser. It is cheap, about 2.50 a pot, and they are all raving about it.

I bought a pot when it first came out, and use it on my hands, knees and feet, but have yet to smear it over my face.

All those poor little babies with nuffink to put on their bums.

My nephew and his girl friend gave me some body butter for Christmas. I had to google ot becuase I'd never seen it before. It's moisturiser.

,

Thank God we can at least laugh at ourselves.

The joke current in our family about their old Paw is that I'll soon be like Long John Silver.

I'm slowly going blind in my right eye and have problems with my left leg.

'Have it off' they say and 'Wear a Patch over your eye'

Can you imagine it............Peg Leg and Eye Patch. ROFL

Oh no thats where we were going wrong then, I thought it was a new drink on the market, something like the WKD drinks. So W.D 40'S not a drink,oh boy he fooled me there then
The Oil was great for the wooden floor though, no need to polish it any more.

Stephen2009 Report 6 Feb 2011 20:15

Mo,

You don't drink the WD 40 do you ?

The problem with an Oil Rub is that you start slipping all over the place.

Mo in Kent

Mo in Kent Report 6 Feb 2011 20:08

The W.D 40, doesn't work on us anymore. Roly takes the cod liver oil capsules,and the rubs don't work either, we tried,and never got out of the front door. LOL

Mo,

Do what the Mrs and I do.......a good doze of Lubricating Oil on all the joints.

Probably dosen't work but it's great fun rubbing it on. ROFL

Serously though. My wife and I also feel the old joints creak and groan and spend more time sitting down than actually walking but we enjoy it.

The thigh muscles in my left leg have some damage and I find my leg begins to drag a bit and feels heavy when I do strenuous walking.

When I go with my son when he's at home I have a fairly tough day out. Next day I know I've been exercising.

A far cry from the days when I ran up the hills with a heavy pack.on my back. I was even crazier then than I am now !!!!!!!!!

Stephen, a Wallie is either a pickled onion or a pickled gherkin, depends on what part of the country you come from.
And a Saveloy, is a spicy sausage in a skin,that is edible.
When Roly and I have been to Blackpool in the past, we have walked from one end of the promenade and back many a time.
But as we have got a little hmmm older, our joints can't take it like we used to,even with us sitting on the benches on the sea front for breaks.
We would love to be able to do it again,all the sea air in our lungs,the sea breezes wafting over us, oooh lovely.

Stephen2009 Report 6 Feb 2011 19:32

Wallie......if I remember correctly.........is a Pickled Onion

What is Saveloy ?

If you can walk to the local shop and back then you can walk for four hours.

Just take your time.....if need be.....rest often.....remember it's not a race.

Look about you to make it interesting, stop and chat to folk..

My wife and I still walk in the mountains. Spend a whole day going up and coming down. Just take it slowly and enjoy everything around us. In the summer months this can be anything up to ten hours on the hill. Yep ! We are really slow.

Maddie..........a bit of Neil Oliver news.........he has Insured his HAIR for a Million Pounds.

Wish I had Insured mine for a tidy sum. I could claim that I've lost it. ROFL

I certainly don't think I could walk non stop for four hours. Well done Mr and Mrs Stephen.

Last sunday working for you then Maddie, hooray she say's. I bet you are cooking dinner now though.
Afterwards, sit and relax. Are you back in work tomorrow.?

A four hour walk would kill me. It would be a leaning against the lamp post job!

Hello to all !

Much better day today.......managed to do something constructive......AND
went out for a lovely walk with Mrs Stephen. Four hours just strolling. No rush, no objective to reach, cleared a few cobwebs from the system. Magic!.

Having a wee relax now.

Catch up later.
