Got my son into the school nursery he started on Tuesday so I walk for 40 mins a day and it's agony whilst pushing a buggy! I know I have to keep doing it because it's important for him but it feels me with dread every day thank god for the weekends :( feeling very sorry for myself today lol so ignore me I'm just having a moan :(

    You poor thing, that can't be fun with a hip like yours. I know our area is pretty well supplied with buses, is there a route which means you could do at least part of the journey on four wheels? DD

    Not really its just long enough to hurt but short enough to not be bussed if you get me! I'm in abit of a low mood today :( on the bright side hubby is cooking me tea and it's the weekend :)

    Hi
    That must be awful.....40 mins sounds as if you need a bus at least part of the way.....doesnt sound to me that its "short enough not to be bussed"
    I couldnt walk anywhere near that distance.
    Just empathising......I cant really suggest anything else.

    Love

    I hope you had a good meal :)

    We all get days when it all just gets too much. It can't be easy walking so much, so regularly. I can only suggest that you time your pain relief meds so that you get maximum benefit when most needed. Also, once your little lad is settled, might it be possible to share the school run with another Mum so that you only do it once per day?
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
