    Evening Hypno - I like going to the bottle bank (I know I'm strange :rotfl:) I always save them all up for when I'm feeling really p!ssed off - good way of venting your frustration, making all the glass jars smash inside the bottle bank :D:p

    I quite like the satisfaction of the bottle bank too :D

    Not a bad spend! I very nearly got in the car earlier to go and buy some biscuits, but I resisted. Largely because I just couldn't actually be bothered!!

    *... adds trip to the bottle bank to tomorrows to do list* :rotfl:

    I had a bit of a scare today - I came very, very, very close to passing out! :eek: I was feeling a bit queazy, drained and a wee bit shaky (not been feeling too great for the last few days) so I thought I'd head home from town but I suddenly started sweating buckets, feeling really dizzy, shaking quite badly and my vision sort of started closing down (lost my peripheral vision)! :eek: I managed to stumble (literally:eek:) into Boots and buy a finger of fudge and collapse on the bench next to the door and eat it. It helped no end... I sat there for about 20 mins before I felt safe enough to move without risk of keeling over. I managed to walk to the supermarket (next to the bus stop home) and buy a cheap sandwich as I was scared I'd feel bad again and was still very shaky. It was really scary - I think it was very low blood sugar. :eek:

    hi Taka hope it is nothing serious - perhaps your blood pressure needs checking at doctors - or iron levels?

    hypno I hope your debt busting moves as fast as your diary thread! From dream properties to bottle banks in one page. You will surely have the Barclayloan sorted in days!

    taka - I hope you are feeling much better now. There will be no calling chocolate a non-essential now :)

    I know you probably don't want to hear this, but it may be as well to go to your docs for a diabetes test.
