    nah my sis is a midget ;) I'm 5 6 so medium height :D

    Dont worry I know it can look weird from the outside - especially as I look very light, and I dont eat much between meals but I know a lot about bad dieting from living with an anorexic sis for a very long time - I never want to be that thin or unhealthy!

    Fueling running is also a lot easier than it should be because your body becomes adapted to it so over time it takes less calories to fuel the same workload - the body is very clever like that :D

    About the same height as me then:rolleyes: sorry - didn't mean to interfere:o

    A perfect example of sod's law:

    Sky box is playing up... it's two months old, it froze at 3 weeks and needed to be reset, then froze this morning, couldn't move it away from planner or tv guide. I tried to reset it but nothing. Phoned Sky and they're coming to replace it on Wednesday.

    After I spent 30 minutes tuning freeview and only getting 32 of the many freeview channels to work, Wayne comes home from work and turns TV and Sky on and... it works again!:confused::confused:

    So, do i phone Sky to cancel Wednesday or do I say nothing???

    Beanie - you've just reminded me that I need to phone OU to find out why I can't enrol / pay for a course online:confused:

    Beanie, so am I, I've just had to ask for a week's extension. It's stupid, I keep putting it off even though I really enjoy this course, more than watching a film or reading a book, or whatever I do instead! And I've just signed up for another with a 2 month overlap, I must be mad!

    Well, I've just parcelled up a batch of beef stew, and put another batch in. It's mince and loads of different chunky veg and tinned toms, so I'll use it for pasta sauce, or on baked potatoes. Hopefully that'll be done by about midnight ish so I can put the last thing in overnight before the meat goes off. Then I need to rearrange the freezer to fit it all in! But next week I'll be shattered and only eating 'ready' meals so it needs doing.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Id phone them back Cat and explain that its now working however you're not prepared to keep having to phone up when the box is obviously faulty. See what they say, they'll probably suggest someone still comes anyway

    Kayleigh ~ As ames has said your dad has no need to know any medication that you take.In my opinion/experience GP's will not just hand out AD's willy nilly.
    I think too that you should go & have a chat wth you GP.Take care.

    Cat, there should be a thing to have the papers sent to you and then you pay when you send back the registration form. It's really hard to find though, it's a tiny sentence at the bottom of the page.

    Beanie - I've got a code for £5 off £20 or 10% off anything on the jewellery site I mentioned the other day, but it's only till wednesday. Anyone can use it. Just let me know if you want it, there might be better deals around elsewhere though.
