Bob... no point working, child care would take my wages!!!
Dot... good idea in principle.... I bought a eclyptical strider in May, a really good one with all the gizmo's... sadly it's only use so far has been as a new place to hang my clothes on..lol
I might go for a walk with my frtiend later, we love it when it gets dark and we can nosey in peoples houses!!!!
An eclyptical strider looks abit like a stepper, it has two long handles and gliding foot plates. You can set the resistance so you work both your arms and legs. It's really low impact .........( so the instructions tell me...lol)
My kids have also gone back to school today and I'v only got 2 weeks before uni starts and am panicing because I should've started my dissertation at the beginning of the summer. Can I suggest lounging about for a couple of weeks with Philip and Fern, followed by a fortnights panic, followed by a tutorial where you turn up with a page with about five handwriten words as a draft essay plan and a reading list curtesy of amazon.
That's what my fellow students appear to do anyway. They seem to get through life.
