Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Doing well on my diet. I know I have lost weight but do not know how much but my whole outlook has changed. It is almost like a 180 degree turn around. I had given up but now I have every intention of getting fit again and doing some more fight training which I have already started . Mind you I do feel old after that lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Another crappy day today - I had another problem with my feet, so I phoned up and they had me come in straight away.
Anyway my happy thought was I managed to get a new colour combination on my cast, so it was all worth it

Yes we did pop into Trago Mills for a gander and bought one or two items and then we went to the lovely Mevagissey and the weather was nice as well.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Just had my first ice bath. I've been dreading it but as I have a shin injury that keeps me off the road I'm using the gym cross trainer and like today, bootcamp. They do a lot of heavy thigh work and afterwards I had trouble walking back to my car.
The hardest part was lowering myself in to the bath but once I was in and added the ice it wasn't so bad and when I got out my thighs were fine - obviously tired from the workout but none of the usual aches. I now fully recommend them

Child allowance 40p a week but only paid for the second child, crisps 3 old pence = to a quarter of 5p. 10 Black men (sweets) 1D (1/12th of 5p). Bag of coal 4/11 (25p). My first wage was equal to £125 per year,(£2.50 per week for 50 weeks we didn't get paid for the two weeks holiday back then), hours 9-5.30pm Mon to Fri and 9-12.30pm Saturdays. Yes seams unreal, you could have a good night out for 50p. A whole week's shopping would cost less than £4, unbelievable. Could buy a blouse at C & A's in the sale for just over 20p Goodness this is making me feel really old.
