lol, I've done it like 3 times by now. And here I am back to 3 mins
If it helps, I ran for 20 mins once. You can do it!
My classes are finishing up next week so I'll have time again to start it. So I might start this weekend or something

Awww, I thought if you did it once, you'd always be running!

Oh I hope that's what'll happen to me. I'm enjoying it so far, but admittedly I'm at the easy bit!

If I wear this with nude tights and heels what kind of cardigan thing do I wear on top... I think white would look perfect with the navy but duno would it agree with the shoes...
[/QUOTE]

A woman I've worked with a few times once wore a lovely navy dress with nude tights and heels and also matched it with a nude/taupe/sandy-beige blazer, and it looked exceptionally well. The blazer was cut to just below the waist, 3/4 sleeves and was more fitted than the longer, boxy types that are everywhere. She added a statement necklace and I thought it was a super look, very wearable but very smart-looking. It stood out well against all the men in their navy/charcoal suits but also fitted in very well with them... if that makes sense!

I should add that it managed to avoid the matchy-matchy feeling, which I totes hate!

You know me, I always have something happening. Either getting sick or exam stress or whatever, so it lapses. Especially when I don't have any evenings free anymore. Once you do get into it, it's very addictive and you'll find yourself getting up at mad hours to fit in a run if you have to

Yeah I was trying to avoid that also, so I was thinking even a pale pink or something??
Sandy cardigan could work

Or a shrug?

I'll keep an eye out for a nice blazer though
I have broad shoulders so it's hard to find one that doesn't emphasise them...

I've been thinking this morning about getting a piercing. I've never had anything pierced and it feels like I'm missing out. It's an ear rim piercing, which loads of people have. I'm just worried about lying down in bed. I toss and turn for ages before I get to sleep and never lie in one position for long. I'm not too sure if I could give up lying on one particular side for a few months.

kat.mac · 04-06-2013 11:34AM

That wee embellished shrug looks the business Blue!

misslt · 04-06-2013 11:42AM

absolutely insane weekend at the hen. still recovering!

fell out of the bus when we arrived in Belfast and twisted my foot and its all swelled and bruised and I cant walk properly

my results are out on friday, eeep!

Mrs Garth Brooks · 04-06-2013 12:09PM

I missed a call today from the crowd I had a skype interview last week. They left a nice voice message asking them to ring them back.

I was sure I had the job. Do they ring everyone letting them know that they didnt get the job. And asking people to ring them back to be told they didnt get the job. I dont know, its alot on the employer to be ringing everyone and an email would have done.

I rang them back so excited, it was such a big let down. I didnt get the job :-(

Yeah it will wake you when you turn on to it.

I got my lobes pierced when I was small and I still remember the pain of night time. We had "sleeper" earrings which were just small hoops.

Maybe talk to the piercer and see what they say before you commit.

I had great fun for ages when my nose was pierced trying to lie down on one side. First time, it fell out the first or second day without my noticing while I was sitting reading. Was super careful next time. Was about 13 years or so ago though so I don't remember how long for!

Because it's your ear, though, you might be able to prop up your pillows under the top part of your head only so that there's a gap under your ear? That way you can lie on that side still

I'm craving coffee! Not off till 1:30pm so I'll swim in a cup when I get home :P Haven't had a chance at all today.

Determined to get to the beach before we lose the good weather might head down at the weekend

Lola92 · 04-06-2013 01:16PM

It's amazing how some people can be so lacking in empathy. Trying not to let it put me in a bad mood but that's easier said than done!

Also, why is the lunch hour always the shortest one in the day? Today is seriously dragging on!

x Purple Pawprints x · 04-06-2013 01:23PM

I just got my official time from yesterday! 1:40:18, I'm so happy! That's almost ten minutes less than I thought!

04-06-2013 01:29PM

Has dress, will travel :cool:
Pale pink is a great idea, have one at home
Tomorrow might be the day where I'm brave enough to attempt wearing the new shoes

It's WARM out!
It's nice

That's usually me. Actually it was a bit hot for sleeping last night

But today it's nice and cheerful kinda sunny and I have factor 50 on and I'm not going faintheaded or anything :cool:

I'm sitting in my garden with factor 50 on reading a book

It's so nice out and I usually hate the sun but I'm loving it lately. I still prefer winter though! :P

No but I'd love to go sometime. I know a few people that have gone and they hav had a ball there! 10 is the perfect amount of time. It gives you enough time to enjoy the nightlife, take in all the sights go shopping!

if Ellis Island is reopened you should go there. I think it was closed for a while for a revamp. That's just the history nerd coming out of me
