upset without a bicycle

because I live in England I do not have my bicycle yet. That's the only reason for it as their customer service is SOOOO BAD that I ordered a bike on 18 April and still have yet to see it. In fact I called today to find out that actually it won't arrive until 11 July because no one placed the bike to me.

Excuse me? I ordered it eight weeks ago through AN APPROVED cyclescheme partner.

(I have a feeling that there was probably an order in mid april but they sold the bike that was supposed to be mine). I just want to ride with my basket to work during the summer. Apparently that was too much to ask. Clearly upset but nothing I can do.... (until I have my bike that is...)

The above is my one day dream bike - A pashley princess. It was supposed to be a reality in three weeks.......... Image via

I wish I had my bicycle

I'm still waiting for my beautiful bicycle to whisk me around town. With the tube strike for the past 24 hours (another 24 to go) - getting to work was horrendous. Traffic, angry tube commuters on my bus and the 'extra services' system fell flat on its face.

So time to put a smile on mine.. with this lovely diagram about the benefits of cycling (found through frolic!)

puffster

you know when you look a photo and say wow that's a puffy face. That's my face right now... I've finally gotten to the point of no return. Be happy about the recent weight gain or do something about it. I have chosen the latter. I was going to to give up cheese and chocolate for Lent but it now starts on Monday. Also on Sunday - the eager looking for a bicycle to take me to work and home. I want the above bike but it's out of my price range - so off I search Gumtree (like Craig'sList) for something similar. Exercise will be a daily activity and I will get back to the weight that I was when I met L2. I'll share it all with you - 123 lbs. I'm currently 141. That's 20lbs to lose in time for beach season.

I'm also buying this bikini to motivate me. It's a fantastic shade of blue and i'm hanging it up right where I can see it so I remember to keep going!

Good luck me!
