    My computer dies yesterday, my daughter poured a whole mug of tea into it! Had to go and buy a new one today.
    Our kidnap miles from Hull Yeah for yesterday are 20.66

    I'm up to date
    vladikavkaz has my picture vote. Sorry I never got around to taking mine. Will try to post one soon.
    Rest day Wed
    Tripple day Mon

    I did recieve my prise earlier in the week. It did have an under paid postage sticker on it, but the postie just pushed it through, so maybe thats why not everyone has had theirs?

    Oops I thought a 1st class stamp would be more than enough!

    Leila, do we have to choose our rest/triple days as a team or individually?
    If anyone has the link to the row ticker please can you post if for me. I had it saved on my old computer but can't get on there to copy it since it died. Thanks!

    Sorry I've been offline for a few days.... my Mum took a fall while visiting us this week and so I've been dealing with that, not been at work so couldn't get online. As a result I'm sorry but I haven't been able to burn as much as I would have liked, but I'm back at it this week now, and will update the spreadsheet this morning.

    My vote for the picture was Vladikavkaz

    Thanks guys.... Mum is OK now, she has her hand in a cast, no lasting damage done, just very shaken up... Next time she comes to visit, I'm leaving town, this trip has been one dilemma after another, LOL.

    Leila, the kidnap millage for Sunday is 16.

    Hi folks. The bad news is that we've lost marmitegirly2. She sent me a message today saying that she has been having a tough time and feels like she is letting the team down and wanted to quit the boat. Despite my objections that's what she has decided to do. *SALUTE*

    The good news is that Bullly's foot is on the mend and I've seen him up and about doing some light walking. Hopefully we can add him back in to the challenge and keep his sub Danny on, to replace Marmitegirly.

    I know this is a long challenge folks but STICK WITH IT. We are getting there. Thanks to everyone who has been logging in and pushing hard for us. I hope you are still enjoying it and let me know if there is anything I can do to make it more fun,

    I feel like I need to apologise for my low calorie burns these days.

    I'm fasting Ramadan and the most I can do these days is about 400,maybe slightly more on some days when I'm more energetic.. It's only for another 3 weeks though and then I'll be back to my normal pattern. I will try to do as much as possible,but it's a bit difficult to do a lot more.

    Just so you all know what's going on :)

    Hi Folks. Bullly has entered the building!

    Slow progress but I'm hopping about quite nicely now! No running yet, but lots of walking!!!

    Re the prize. I have to go to the collecting office this weekend :-)

    So, row row row your boat....

    Hi all, back from hols now, thank's Leila for keeping my scores updated for the week.

    Can everyone stay in the centre of the boat from now on, these waves seem to be sweeping lots of us over the side!

    If we're still voting, I'll go for Caligirl's as well.

    Cheers

    Hi all - how are we all?

    I've struggled to exercise a few times in the last week or so but am back on track now :) Let's get that boat moving!!

    Same here this week. :o( I don't know why but I got very sluggish this week. My asthma hasn't been great, although I can't really use that as an excuse, its probably worse because I haven't done much exercise *rolls eyes* I'm back to eating well and exercising as of today.

    I'm a bit worried now looking at the spreadsheet - doesn't it automatically calculate the x4 and double days for us? I haven't been doubling the figures I enter and looking at some of the huge burns on there maybe I should be?

    Please clarify and sorry if I missed an update - I find it hard to keep up with the Yellow Submarine message board (especially when I'm travelling).

    The groups total is multiplies by 4 (or what ever day it is) at the bottom of the sheet. It is all being counted.

    I've been on holiday the last couple of weeks, back at work now though. Some of the big burns I logged last week were because I've built a deck and dug up the whole garden. Manual work for 8 hours straight was certainly boosting the numbers. A 4 hour game of golf here and there certainly helped as well!

    Back at work now though, so the burn numbers will be less I feel.

    Morning all... this month has been a rough one for me with getting my exercise in, had family in town visiting and then been off of work so my schedule has been all out of whack, I apologise for the low numbers. This week is my final week off, next week I will be back in to my usual routine and will hopefully be able to get my numbers up again.

    In other news I'm quite ill so apologies for being a bit out of it :(
