JK chameleon Aug 2016 9:18pm, 16 Aug 2016 11,630 posts	0 JK chameleon That's an issue, Fleecy - weekends are invariably spent barely leaving the flat (it's not agoraphobia if you aren't afraid, right?) I find that after a week of work I am just so tired, too. I have thought about activities to do though to challenge my idleness - there's a trampoline place across town which sounds fun, although I wonder if it's just for kids. There's also the money issue of course.

JK chameleon Aug 2016 9:35pm, 16 Aug 2016 11,631 posts	0 JK chameleon Don't be worried about me! I'm fine, just maybe a bit directionless... Unfortunately I will have nothing to do with SRC now. Sweatshop seem to be in a bit of a race to the bottom now - the Arndale store has looked like a Sports Direct for ages now, and the attitude of the high up managers tells a story. And yeah, group running would end up being competitive - it's just in my nature Off for a walk now. Taking the housemate out for a bit of it too. Two fat losers wobbling along together...

And there are plenty of adults there too for normal sessions. Not leaving the house all weekend won't do wonders for either the flab or your mental health. Spice is a good idea, or there are stacks of groups on Meetup.com, check them out and try a new activity
JK chameleon Aug 2016 9:15pm, 18 Aug 2016 11,652 posts	0 JK chameleon Whilst I'm hugely skeptical of this 'I am Team GB' stuff, I've registered my interest in the local Taekwon-Do taster session. I'll feel a bit of a fraud though, as I trained for two years whilst at uni (back when I was a skinny little pisshead) I was disappointed not to see an archery event. I'd like to shoot some stuff In other news, walking is going well. The eczema on my back is not enjoying the temperature though, so many walks are waiting until dusk - which brings in the added 'scary youths loitering' risks... And trampolining is going to have to wait now until September. Just sunk all my money into a holiday
