    You could always let Pepe's horn off again, that should empty it......

    Whats popular at the minute bookie, I need some books for my holidays.....(not really a holiday more of a long weekend away)

    Got through to British Gas. man on end of phone is convinced that it has to be a heating problem as it only happens when the water/heating is running. (I have said that all along but I am only a woman!). Tried to transfer the plumbing accross to them too so that they could sort it out between themselves but then any existing probs would not be sorted and it would be just my luck ......! They want another £10 a month to cover plumbing and electrics! Drainage/plumbing cover which I have at the moment ti £23 a year. :confused:

    The 'Twilight' series by Stephanie Meyer are the bestselles for me at the moment Sammy - vampire love stories! Twilight is a film.
    That and £42 Filofax! :confused: Filofax lady just been in - well impressed with me. 2010 diary inserts available now - eeek.

    I don't think they've fallen out with each other but I know the quiet one is in the huff about something, maybe you're right and the other one is trying to compensate - really getting on my nerves though :rolleyes:

    I wish I was on my own!!

    Are you able to use an MP3 player and just switch off from it all?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I suffer from a ridiculous amount of headaches too, I was on Beta Blockers for a while but they didn't seem to make any difference.

    I always carry tablets with me and I wear sunglasses in the office (which causes much mirth) because the lighting is awful!
    We're in a 5 story open plan converted mill which is the PCT headquarters and there are no light switches.

    I will definitely go on monday if I have anymore over the weekend. Because my migraines are normally regimental in timing, every 6 months. Had 3 fake migraines in about 2 weeks, the last two have been on consecutive days. But I'm not sure the doc is gonna take a migraine aura without a migraine seriously.

    It's got to be worth checking it out, they should take you seriously!

    I think I'm getting another fake migraine right now, it's hard to tell, if it does come I'm ringing nhs direct, 3 times in 3 days is not good.
