new thread, peeps; all welcome to chat - new, old, fast, slow, etc

Is she the one off America's Biggest Loser? If so, she is scary!

I will join you all vicariously tomorrow perhaps by watching Shrek 1-4 tomorrow from comfort of sofa....

Bought some snacks for hospital and inevitable DP and I have just troughed 2 bars of chocolate. I fucking KNEW this would happen!!!!

Oh I LOVED schhol dinners

Ps you may be right sticky, I just really believe Jillian is going to whip me into shape (fnar fnar). I quite like the scary "is it hurting? Then it's working!" approach, it's good for southern softies weaklings like me. Though I've got a feeling fanny would just tell her to fuck right off!

she is apparently (not seen the biggest loser, but she trails herself with it).

Shrek, Sofa and Scooby Snacks sound like the ingredients of a very good day of baby attending :)

peach - anaemia. I've struggled with it for years, and no amount of tablets or natural remedies would resolve it. So I finally decided a few months back to try chicken once a week and beef once a week. I haven't managed to stick to the beef, but have discovered bacon sandwiches are quite nice .

I love you all. You are all hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if there were people on this thread who've never run a mile in their life but just pretend they do so they can join in the fun

Yes, "The baby needs a Wispa..."

do you think newbie running enthusiasts spot the thread, wander in, read a few pages about whooshing fannies, warming drawers, and quookers, and then just back out quietly???

Come back!!!! We talk about running too!!! Well I don't, but you get my jist.

I think fanny might have the MN Best Thread Ever Award in one of her warming drawers...dust it off and give it a twirl love. Night all.

Ahh makes sense monkey. I am prone to it too but absorb the tablet stuff ok and haven't had to resort to beef. Settle down at the back there fanny!!!

I feel a Running Thread Award Night coming up - best photo/worst photo/best and worst goody bag/largest bum bag/most convincing turtles head impression?

could we also have a largest bum category? I'd like to leave the night with a gong, specially if I've paid for a table and everything.

monkey I win all of those. BUT it's fanny pack NOT bumbag. Tut tut - you've learned fuck all.

Yes, all lurkers, we are actually a talented group of athletes who discuss pace, mileage and training every 500 posts or so. The in between fillers are for moral.

We would need photos sticky - you could be in for stiff competition .

hard to get a good picture when I've blotted out the sun tho, monkey.

Must go to bed, don't want to be too tired for Jillian tomorrow (she'll be cross with me )

Also, I wonder whether I'll get a PM from a sponsor such as Miele, AndSoToBed, Quooker or Jilly Cooper because in 10 posts alone. I've done more advertising for free for them than a years ad campaign in The Daily Mail would.

Rofl you guys make me laugh. I'm so glad I found you.

I think I might be addicted to running. Went out with my running group tonight suppose to be a 3 mile route when we got back I'd only clocked 2.7 miles I was pissed off so went off on my own and ran 3 laps of the green to make up for it. Want to join the 4 mile group really but they are far too fast for me.

Might do 6 miles tomorrow

Ah, have had a shiteous day but you've all made me laugh. Even if you did poke fun at my ready mash .

Night all!

you've all lost the plot. dualit and miele. shrek. random links to pictures of your bed. warming drawers and ready made mash. wtf is going on girls???

I come on here to post about hill reps, split times, heart rates, and my new long sleeved winter running top and I find none of you are listening - you all whispering and giggling at the back.

(actually I didn't ... come on here to post ... just came to check you were all ok. clearly you are. night girls )

Oooohatwomen a new long sleeve running top I'm listening

[puzzled] What went on last night here?! Have you all been taking something? There was I sitting peacefully doing DS's Dr. Who jigsaw (he has bet me that I won't finish it - it's about 80% blue with some flashy plasma thrown in) and you're talking utter shite!

Had a bad night. Trying to limit DS2s breastfeeding at night. He's over 2 1/2.

Anyway, someone (Peach?) asked whether I was really tall. I am 5'7". That's tall, but not really, really tall I think. My legs are indeed l.o.n.g.

Moshi I do have a neutral gait. The gait analysis man was quite thrilled about me, but didn't give me a free pair of running shoes as a prize.

Where is the pic of Fanny's slut bed? I went to her profile and you see pics of all her amazingly beautiful children.

No running today - got to spend my lunch time finding an old pair of bridesmaids shoes in FIL's loft.

bonkers I'm not pointing you in the direction of Riders and Polo bed... By the way, the kids aren't mine, I just pick random cute kids photos from the Internet and pose them as my own. My real children look a tad Wayne Rooneyesq.

DH was wondering what I was chuckling about last night. When I told him that it was about our old bed he nearly choked.

Actually, I'm sure on one of the photos of DD1 on profile that it has the bed poking out. I must check that the handcuffs and gimp mask aren't on show too.

Fanny I just actually Googled "Riders and Polo bed". Nice lot of random pics!
So now I've just scrolled through this whole thread searching for "Fanny" (your fault if I get escorted from the premises today because I'm convening the site "acceptable use policy"!). Anyway, anyway, I found your bed.

I think it's quite nice actually, but I also enjoy Doc Marten (on telly, not anything else you gutter minded floozies)!.

I also just posted a link of me in the race in a thread about seeing Dr. Who on the train by accident. More coffee needed.

bonkers to my credit, the bed was sold 3 years ago and we have a far more subtle cream wooden one now! However, in our hey day, DH and I were a bit fucking daft with house purchases. Call it the Twatty Twenties if you like. I will categorically state that in our old house it looked bloody amazing!

bonkers I saw that thread re Tom Baker on train. I too was excited! Loved him as a child.
