ntil I can get one that doesn't reset itself every 5 bloody minutes I might as well give up

hatter · 31/08/2004 21:25

he took the hint! (in fact it was less of a hint, more of a directive) got a pedometer for my birthday. Think I've sussed how to use it but it's got a sensitivity thing which gives enormous scope for cheating. But I promise not to. Looks like if you do it Sat-Fri evening I'll miss out a bit this week, but will still try. Does being in the house count?

MadameButterfly · 02/09/2004 09:01

I have broken another Argos one. THat is now 4 since starting this.

I have found a different one in Boots . I have the top one at £15. The second one down appears to be sthe same as the Argos one.

Hatter, all steps count. I put mine on when i get dressed and take it off when I settle onto the computer for the evening.
