*%$*!!.......... i am sitting here (full of cold!) looking at the lovely bright weather outside knowing full well i should be outside walking to train for the trek, but i just can't be bothered to move......i need a good talking to....or something...lol. Yvette

Come on into my new thread then Yvette... Anne :)))

Hi Yvette Join the club lol. I should be doing other things too lol Juliexx PS Good luck with your trek and your training.

Thanks Julie :-)

Now listen here Miss Yvette.................get yer boots on and take the dog for that long walk..........lol, oh and wrap up warm, that will sweat the cold out of you. Suzy, who should also be out walking, but is cooking, cleaning and packing. :o) x P.S. I hope you feel better soon (Hug)

Yvette - snap!! lol Horrible cold and can't be a***d to leave my warm little house. Tomorrow is another day! Daisy

Yvette, you do need to train. You also need to be fit, so take today off and get well. Deanna X

Cooking...cleaning...packing...the things some people will do to avoid walking...lol...oh and catching a cold ;-)) Hi Suzy, how's it going? i tried the wrap and walk bit Friday.....now i am worse.......just my luck! the dog has decided your idea is a good one though and is giving me that poor unloved puppy routine so i have a feeling i will give in and take your advice :-) i can't believe how quickly the weeks are passing, any idea how we can slow things down a bit? Yvette

Mandy...oh yes that is much the answer i wanted....thank you, thank you , thank you :-) Deanna.....even better advice, oh you ladies are wonderful :-) Daisy...lol, i so wanted to use your phrase as my thread title, but didn't dare lol. Lots of sympathy and a germ ridden (hug) can we suffer together today and call it supporting each other?? Yvette

I know!! Lets just say it’s the trekkers day off today and if none of us do any training, no-one will feel guilty!! Besides it is very foggy here and if I did go out I may get lost…….. Suzy – you’re not packing for the trek already are you…????? Luv & Hugs to all Jxx

Definitely and the arm is still a bit poorly so there's no point attempting anything as strenuous as cleaning. Lots of chocolate and hot toddies are the answer I think - sometimes you just have to give in to these things! Daisy

Julie DO NOT go outside......the risk of getting lost is far too great, so sit down, feet up and be the official trekkers day off mentor :-) Daisy Would love the hot chocolate bit, but milk products are making me worse...:-(( oh well i will have to addloads of brandy to my hot honey and lemon....life is so tough at times. Suzy .....missed out with the dog...Mal has just insisted on taking him for me.......goodness i love that man!!

Hello girls..........lets make it official then SUNDAY 5th FEBRUARY is the trekkers day of rest............lol No Julie, not packing for the trek just yet......lol, off on Thursday to do some walking on the sand for a week......lol Daisy........I hope you feel better soon.....(hug) Suzy :o) x

Yvette and Daisy, R & R today. If you do not feel well you are much better curling up with a good book....... (or in your case Yvette, Mal)....... tomorrow you can go out and double walk LOL. Suzy, A week walking in the sand ..... anypone would think you were taking this seriously .... lol. Jean x.

you got cold you need topreserve your energy, and build yourself up no runnin keep warm plenty of fluids, be good girl

Ooh goody a day off. I feel the guilt lifting from my shoulders as I type. Lol. Daisy, hope your arm will be better in 5 weeks time. Yvette – only been as far as the barn this morning to feed the animals, I’m not going out again that’s it for today!! Suzy – hope you are going somewhere warm to do your training(?) on the sand/beach – lucky you. Jxx p.s. If I had won the euro lottery last Friday, I was going to buy us all a camel each for the trek – didn’t win so………

Yvette - not hot chocolate just chocolate!!! Julie - the arm WILL be better I've told it! Suzy - where are you going? Jean - a good book sounds just the thing but I'm trying not to be quite as pathetic as hubby was this week when he had MAN FLU and stayed home for 3 days passing his germs on to me! Daisy

Jean lol, i am sure Mal would love that at the moment...not! but hey what's married life all about if you can't share everything....lol Suzy Have a lovely week...but don't walk too much on the sand, we won't be able to keep up with you if you have had extra training ;-) Julie The camel idea was a good one...but i would have rather had some sort of mechanical thing to travel with...lol Daisy Man flu....don't get me started.....i have three of them in this house and when they had it recently i wanted to head for the Sahara there and then!! lol Yvette

Yvette - mechanical thing? I know you'll miss MAL but really!!! lol Daisy

lol...........I won't do too much walking on the sand, but at least I will get to experience how hard its going to be.......lol Were off to Egypt...........Steve got a great deal. Suzy :o) x
