    LM - bills turn up all at once as well....or is that just me too ? LOL
    No, that happens to everyone. No matter what. :D
    Merlin - glad you are feeling a bit better....did wonder if you`d been on the cider again Hun.:D
    Nope, I haven't touched any of that; it's cheap and I end up putting sweeteners in it to make it taste better. :D

    Seriously, it's swelling on optic nerves done it. ;)

    Seems to be a hidden link somewhere under this window as it keeps dragging my cursor towards it like a magnet. Have to close some windows I think.

    That's better, it's gone.

    trouble is MSE kicks me out every 10 minutes so I have to keep logging back in......does anyone else find that problem or is it just me?

    There have been a variety of similar things occurring on other vBulletin based forums this week.

    Good, why I asked. ;)

    I may 'act the fool' at times but I have the interests of everyone I encounter in life first and foremost. Actually, that also forms part of the next stage in my life; really long overdue (but listening to family and what they want not what I want really hasn't helped; suffice to say, seems I am not allowed to have a life of my own where I make my own choices). Will update when it is set in motion. But, it's all about what I want in life more than anything. But being too afraid to take that step. Whilst everyone I have met in life more or less yells at me to 'do it!'. Because it's what I should be doing but spent far too many years not listening to myself. Not doing the one thing that comes naturally to me. So, now I am doing it. Otherwise if I don't, it will be too late to change and take that step. Thing is, I have never been pushy, never shown off, never stood up to my family (when I really should have done with so many things) ... and I am not doing so now, but I am really a very gifted person with many aspects but I didn't believe in myself. But right now, I have reached those crossroads and the way forward is very clear. I just need to fill the form in, pop it in the post box and it sets in motion something I have wanted for so long. Anyway, enough of all that kind of stuff.

    Don't worry, I will. I don't wear glasses; that's the odd thing about all this (well, I say odd because I understand the 'why' etc) but I have 20/20 vision. Well, won't go into the technical stuff etc.

    Glaucoma. Sounds like it is relatively slow moving with you since it took so long to be diagnosed.

    Sorry for you Merlin - not a nice thing to be living with. There are others worse off than you - there always are. Some members here. But you have my profound sympathy.

    Apparently, smoking cannabis can reduce intra ocular pressure. But I don't suppose it will do your state of mind any good...

    The rate of the progress of this will be determined by the medical help you can get. It is entirely likely that you will not have significantly reduced vision for many many years if you help others to aid you in taking care of it.

    Good luck.

    oooh that sounds nice Merry....vanilla tea.

    I like licorice tea ...it can be bitter taste at first but there is a lovely sweet aftertaste ...I like it even though I can`t stand sugar in my coffee.

    I have noticed also that I get kicked out & my name still appears on the forum page even though I`m not logged in:confused::confused:..

    Hi NM..

    Sorry to hear you have connection problems....took BT 2 weeks to sort mine at Xmas....I gave up complaining in the end & just waited!!!

    Red Bull is nice but very overpriced although I think its only 69p at Poundstretcher....the cheaper supermarket varieties are just as good..

    Mines a large glass of red if anyones buying :D

    Angiexx

    Tesco kick is nice, 1ltr bottle 2 for 1.50... no calories in diet one and tastes nicer than redbull.. sorry for waffling but had a few.. just watched a film on sky.. in the name of the king good film.. there i go going on again.. ooo free vodka..

    I hate call centres! I am not racist but they should have people who can both speak and understand english. It is always worse when you know the problem... they dont believe you though because you dont work for BT.

    Glad everyone seems ok :-)
    I didnt win euro millions so I cant get everyone on the board out of BR.. ah well i would have done...

    Im off to bed now i think.. night night all :D
