The Barnet Bugle

I don't think i've ever walked that far......daily routine? Take a hike. I was feeling very virtuous when I got home but as I'd been unable to buy the shopping for dinner en route daughter decided to order a pizza and I couldn't let her eat it alone......

Katie could you not have went back to your job and ask for a loan of the bus fare

[KatieMorag]

it was all closed up and I didn't have a key, otherwise I'd have gone back to see if I"d left my card there. I did try going to a friend"s house in Highgate but she wasn't in.

[KatieMorag]

Just called work and it was there so I"ve cancelled my card for nothing! Still, better to be safe etc.

No, it was actually perfect conditions for walking, dry, warm but not hot.

Left work at 6.30, got to bus stop, couldn't find my bank card which I use on the bus......no way to access any money, so I ended up walking home.....8.3 miles! I'm feckin' knackered!

Jayziz...Would ye ever get another (standby / emergency) card and always keep it in yer bag...change bags ? move card.
Never walk again

I actually did have another card in my bag - but the account was overdrawn from when I was on my uppers and I hadn't got around to straighteneing it out yet. I tried to get a tenner from a cashpoint but was told "insufficient funds." Wish to God I'd transferred some money into it!
On the plus side, I had been toying with the idea of walking part of the way into work every day, as I'm getting on a bit and don't want to end up an obese old lady with diabetes and heart disease. Walking that distance yesterday and not collapsing at the end of it has been encouraging; I'm going to start getting off the bus at East Finchley and walking in from there, as long as it's not raining. Not today though, too tired!

Don't worry Noel, I won't make that mistake again!

According to Google it's 2 miles to work from East Finchley Station and would take around 40 minutes which sounds do-able.
