Guest guest Posted September 11, 2000 Report Share Posted September 11, 2000 Oh joy - I have about a week's worth of petrol left then I will be walking 6 miles a day to take my children to and from school. Should be good for weight loss I suppose. I can walk to local shops but Sainsbury's is out so I suppose I ought to go and do a big shop there. I just know that sooner or later some ghastly pensioner is going to remark with glee that its just like the war. I'm too tired for all this, I just want to be able to hop into my car and not have to think about it. I know I'm just an idle, petrol guzzling hag but my whole life revolves around the car now and I just, sob, sob, can't cope without it. Also, I want to go and visit my new kitten and can't because it will take up too much petrol. I also really, really wish I hadn't volunteered to deliver a load of newsletters which were an easy job with a car and are now a very long hike round the streets of Worthing. - feeling deprived.

We always used to walk about that to school as my parents only had one car and my father needed it for work. Its good fun when turned into a nature walk. I have lovely memories of scrunching through piles of autumn leaves as deep as your waist (aged about 3). Aren't the conkers ready yet?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Well, I'm looking at walking 1.5 miles to school tomorrow (6 miles total, there and back twice) along lovely busy smelly dual carriage way , (at least there's a path) dodging traffic on a very busy roundabout and then along another busy road. What fun ( Hannah, 26 Mum to Bethany 6, Lawrence 4 1/2, Verity 2 and Baby No.4 due Feb 2001 > At 06:17 AM 9/12/00 +0000, you wrote: > >We have nowhere near enough petrol to last us a week - it's 2 miles each > >way to > >'s school (i.e. 8 miles a day) 2 miles in the opposite direction to > >Sainsburys, and about a mile and a half to the station. > > We always used to walk about that to school as my parents only had one car > and my father needed it for work.

Next year, when starts at 'Big School' we can walk - its only a mile each way along the pavement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
