I sent off for my pedometer just like Daniel told us all to.... got home from work today and there it was sitting on the doormat. Two hours later after unpacking tescos shop, feeding the tribe etc etc I finally unpacked it, read the instructions, went to clip it onto my jeans.... and it broke!!! boo hoo (sobbing my little heart out now) :(((..... (I know it was free but honestly, I'm truely gutted)

Ow, thanks Annie I'm off to Nidderdale tomorrow (from Suffolk) and I was looking forward to striding up the dales with my little ol' pedometer tucked into my waistband......

Mine was no good either. We went to the supermarket etc., and when we checked had only registered 94 steps. Shaking it up and down only made it move once. Definately no good. Diane

Now you can see why I am so upset, I just won't know how many strides it takes to get from Suffolk to Nidderdale. Please can I have something other than Kendal Mint Cake - revolting stuff. How about a Mars Bar?
