Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

JM - have a fabulous holiday!!

Deka - As others have said, give 101 a call and see what they say. Also, as WW pointed out, a lot of people don't report things like that because they presume someone else will have done.

MU - I hope you manage to get an appointment in a bit less than 3 weeks!!

I can't begin to express how happy I am that it's the weekend and that IzHe and I have very little planned. This week's been utterly manic at work, which is admittedly a lot better than my usual levels of boredom, and I'm looking forward to being able to switch off for a couple of days.

Hugs and squishes to all xx

Goodness, Gingernutty, don't feel bad!

It sounds like you stuck it for a lot longer than I would have done!


As you say, an environment where there is loud music does not make it easy to chat to people, even if you know them well, let alone people you don't know!

You gave it a shot!

Were the band any good?

Gingernutty I think it's incredibly brave of you to go alone at all!

I took some carrier bags of clothes and books to the charity shop last week and I'm now suffering separation anxiety lol. I didn't read or wear the stuff anymore but I do find it a wrench getting rid of things!

I've been worried about DD being too skinny for a while now so I did her weight and height and her bmi is showing underweight. DH said he nails looked weird last week and I saw them today and they are crumbling and have a funny band on them which I just looked up and it can be a malnutrition thing. She sits around eating crisps and chocolates all day but very little else. I've just gone and bought some fruit and yogurts for her (she won't eat veg) so I hope that helps. I took her to the dr once before about being underweight and they really weren't interested. She's 18 now so I can't make her go, but I will try and tempt her to try more health options

I am small and my BMI has always shown me as underweight. I guess it's whether she's in proportion, and the other signs such as the nails which could be a bit more of a concern.
Is she interested in cooking at all, is that something you can build on?

She's a bit of a mix shapewise. She has a proper rounded bottom and although she has a thigh gap, her legs don't look too skinny. Her arms though do look quite skeletal and her spine shows at the top like a stegosaurus.

She did cookery at school and got an A at gcse, but since she left she's only made biscuits a couple of times. Funnily she will eat junk food like McDs, pizza, ice cream etc but she can only eat a child size portion at one sitting. Because she eats so little she's always tired, but then because she rarely leaves her room she never builds up an appetite.

As far as I know she is sort of ok.
She has been pretty unwell, though.

I don't think she is up to posting just yet, though.

Well big hugs to her if she reads this, and anyone else who needs them x
