Disco Treadmill Disaster

So since being diagnosed as Type 2 Gold Standard Diabetic I bought a treadmill to melt some of the wobble off me. It's set up in the conservatory, full glass.
I created a few playlists on my iPad, power walking being my weapon of choice. I was some way into my 45 minute Disco Treadmill Routine when I thought, 'Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the window cleaners turned up and saw me doing my Disco Treadmill Routine'.
A second later the window cleaners turned up and saw me doing my Disco Treadmill Routine.

I just powered through! Luckily I was already at Abba's 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' which means I was almost done LOL.
They always turn up and catch me dancing around in a nightie or frighten the **** out of me as they are very stealthy and just appear at the windows.
 
Probably only quiet at your house for the entertainment! Everywhere else they are REALLY noisy. X
 
I listen to disco on the treadmill at the gym, and find myself strutting along - especially to the soundtrack of Nightfever. I basically don't give a **** what people think of me at my age, it's very liberating.
My recommendations:
Staying Alive - Bee Gees
You Should Be Dancing - Bee Gees
Jive Talkin' - Bee Gees
She's a Brick House - The Commodores
One Way Ticket - Eruption
Car Wash - Rose Royce
Supernature - Cerrone
Good Times - Chic
Contact - Edwin Starr
Street Life - Crusaders
Rock DJ - Robbie Williams
Don't Leave me this way - The Communards
Hot Stuff - Donna Summer
Is it Love You're After - Rose Royce
Lady Marmalade - Patti Labelle
 
Now get thee to a gym and strut that playlist publicly!

@Diakat LOL! Prolly!!!

@LittleG, well done for finishing up. I'd have screamed and locked myself in the bathroom, and later called around to find a new company to clean my windows so I'd never have to face them again!! ;)

I have the answer to your problem. Sack the window cleaner, throw away the treadmill and clean the windows yourself. I bet you will invite them back quite soon.
 
LOL. I am terrible on the treadmill, I keep getting 'sea-sick' and nearly falling off! :wacky:

Yep. It took me ages to get used to it. Felt well wobbly but now it's ok, nearly broke into a mild jog today.
 
I used to be a window cleaner and I never saw anyone on a treadmill !!!

I don't do windows or ironing. LOL, plus they give my soffits a good going over so it's worth the money and possible Disco Treadmill embarrassment.

( To those wondering how I get away with doing no ironing I wear jersey and knits almost exclusively so all my stuff is easy and non iron, my husband does his stuff and the children's school shirts. Once my husband bought some linen shirts which I immediately gave to charity. Things like sheets and all the nonsense my Mum irons gets hidden by fancy bedspreads/ covers. You too can love the non ironing life if you follow these simple steps. *wink* ).
