elhombrecito Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 2 hours ago, WhistleHappy said: I dont know how various airlines and the travel industry in general handle these situations, whatever the legal obligations or otherwise might be but...… (for the companies who come through and survive this bloody virus crash) I think a great gesture of goodwill and PR would be to offer out of pocket travellers/holiday makers a whole lot of free 'air miles' to be redeemed within a time frame after this whole virus situation has been officially declared over. (sorry Greta) We can change the date of our flight for free, but considering we have no idea when it will be okay to fly again, that seems a bit pointless. Hopefully they'll cancel the flight soon, so we can get an automatic refund. Airbnb are now allowing free cancellation, so that's good at least.

Red Army 75 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Starting Monday as I’m off work for 12 weeks. I am starting a 10 week fitness program. Currently overweight and getting older and unhealthy. Going to try and turn this around in these testing times. Will post end of each week how many pounds I have shed . Hoping for a 2 stone loss at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If you want to lose a pound of body fat, then that requires you to run from Leeds to Nottingham, but if you want to do it through diet, you just have to skip a meal for seven days" Prof Paul Gateley. I think it's worth quoting "experts" now that Gove, Boris et al are into "experts" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easy eating well while couped up like this. At least we are still being told it's ok to go outside for walks/exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanburyRed Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Having done dry January and extended it into dry February, I'm now into dry March....and also made March biscuit and choc free. Which is just as well, as I can't find either in the shops! On the upside, collecting a new car tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Feeling rudderless without any live footy, either in person or on telly. Every day is starting to feel the same, a sort of sporting Groundhog Day. Can't see me lasting too much longer - food is not so important, but having no football is doing me in. At this time of the year we should be into the business end of the season, but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just glossed the skirtings and door frame in the kitchen. Chucked some old paper work out . About to start a hour exercise. Then make a fish pie what Jamie Oliver made yesterday on channel 4 . Only 11 and a half weeks before I am hopefully able to go out .
