Title: who ate all the pies
Post by: Andy@w.c.s on January 22, 2008, 08:14:35 pm: Well hear it is
the real down side to wfp, :(

Since going over to wfp in June 2006 i have now put on nearly a stone in weight
Fat or what :-[
and for the first time today have admitted to myself that if i had to go back to the ladder , I think my face would be 2" away from the glass when i finally got to the top, certainly on the triple ladder work, :'(
20 odd years up a ladder, retained fireman for 7 and now unsure of my own capability's

On the up side

I can now clean windows until I'm eighty!!!
something to look forward too i suppose ???

This is why i have joined a gym this week and started swimming because i am putting weight on and wfp does take it out on your body so i think its important to keep fit for those later years working, or we might just be getting old ;D

Andy did you get my email in december?

Post by: chris@c.m.s on January 22, 2008, 10:15:24 pm: Just work a little faster and you'll soon take the weight off, I tend to knock the door first and by the time they answer I'm done 8)

Post by: xxmattyxx on January 22, 2008, 10:20:52 pm: Oh bollox, I was thinking about this very subject today.

Saves me starting the thread then ;D

I was going to ask which method of cleaning is the most energetic, guess I have my answwer, thing is Ive put on about 1.5 stone since giving up smoking 3 years ago and Im trad at the mo but will be going WFP over the next few weeks. Does this mean Ill have to go out jogging at night :o
