Bagpuss, hope you get back on an even keel soon, it can be worrying when we feel different, perhaps it is something your body and mind need to work through before retuning to normal. Thinking of you.:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

My little rant - I made soup for myself today and made double so I could bring some in for a work colleague who said she was v poor at the mo and had to up her Overdraft etc... So whilst I was heating soup she popped to shop and brought stuff from the posh cafe near us - posh juice, crisps, bread etc. Probably spent £4 at least on it.... so I kinda wish I hadn't made her soup now!! x0

bobbadog, some people just dont appreciate it - if she's that hard up and can still go and get lunch from a cafe, maybe its not that bad? Or maybe she's in denial. Show her this site!

I've been trying, but definitely denial going on - she said she didn't know how I had the time to make this and how lovely it was and how good I am, and I told her my motivation is purely to save money - which she just 'mmm'd at... On plus side at least she's eaten properly today as she often seems to forget x0
