OhMyFleecingGod Feb 2016 3:13pm, 10 Feb 2016 26,414 posts	0 OhMyFleecingGod I love this Lol at attempting Headspace on the tube Today's are boring but necessary and have been on my to do list for eons. Today I bought some new house phones. We have a 3 storey house and someone lost the second phone to the old set as soon as we got the last phone, which was years ago. As a result you can't hear the phone ring unless you're in the loft. So I bought a triple set. Hopefully I can now actually talk to the kids when I'm out late and they're home from school instead of leaving increasingly shouty messages via the answering machine. I also bought a new carbon monoxide detector for ds2's bedroom, apparently they have to be changed every so often and the last one was ancient.

Today I have phoned HMRC and got the marriage allowance sorted. It was dead easy and I have a shiny tick for today I also have my Grandad's diary from when he was in WW2 that my Mum was always going to type up but never did. Hopefully by the end of the 40 days I will have that done.

Sharkie Feb 2016 3:27pm, 10 Feb 2016 8,666 posts	0 Sharkie Watcher Fleecio - right into the swing of things. New doesn't have to be interesting or particularly enjoyable ... but hair shirts are RIGHT OUT. My best (or worst) Headspace experience was when my bloody Mac froze in the middle of a long 'contemplative' sequence. I was getting WELL pissed off sitting there doing nothing. HOW MUCH FUCKING LONGER I asked myself with my eyes still closed. The penny dropped after what seemed like three centuries.

Velociraptor Feb 2016 3:41pm, 10 Feb 2016 33,420 posts	0 Velociraptor Some brilliant ideas here This morning I cycled up and down a hill I haven't cycled up and down before, on an impulse. It was eL Bee!'s impulse, but what's his is mine and all that. I'm about to go out to the local bike shop here for the first time (having located it in real space rather than just on a map yesterday), and when I swim afterwards I'll at least have a go at a stroke that I don't normally attempt.
sallykate Feb 2016 3:46pm, 10 Feb 2016 4,205 posts	0 sallykate I was thinking that a new running route would be a good one; I get into a routine of the same old 3, 4, 5 milers etc. Partly because I like them but I might like others just as much.
Jambomo Feb 2016 3:51pm, 10 Feb 2016 5,637 posts	0 Jambomo I've always been a bit intrigued by head space but I think I'd find it tough - sitting still and sitting quietly are not things I find very easy.
