I have an induction at a gym next week. Well it is Gym-uary so I thought I’d give it a go.
Today I got a call from the receptionist to check that I planned to turn up. She told me to come ready and dressed to do exercise. She didn’t wait for me to answer before saying, “Nice loose top, nice loose trousers and some nice comfy trainers. Lovely!”
I was slightly flabberdegasted – what did she think I was planning to wear? A ballgown?
it may be Gym uary but i will not be paying a visit to my Gym! During Januaury i pefer to exercise my way – Feet up lying on sofa reading a book drinking hot chocolate and eating cake !
Sarah, please don’t disincentivise (have I just made that word up?) before I even get there!

Nope, Anna, “disincentivise” (or “…ize”, if you prefer to write with an American flavour) is a perfectly acceptable word. And one I use almost every year, around the time that management communicates my annual pay rise.
