    Sally - some pasta thing, got a cheese craving though and need toothpaste so have bathed and will go out shortly ;)

    Luc - you were only asking - dont worry I dont mind - a fair enough question to ask and trust me if I wasnt eating enough it would have been a good thing that you spotted the signs, because for a lot of people it can get out hand very quickly! I do like my food though and it definitely impacts on my running if I'm not fueled enough... :D

    Off to buy cheese for my pasta mmmm carbs :D

    Thanks Ames for that but DS & GF are going shopping.
    I have explained he must set a budget & then stick to it.
    Anniversary pressie was well received though.

    Pooky - jealous - wanted to buy one (cause I cant bake) but they were expensive in Fortnum's (the only place I've seen them)

    (on an aside I am still scared about going to the reform club on Weds - I am such a wuss :p)

  • Thanks for all the advice, you guys. I guess my dad doesn't really need to know, I'm just not very good at keeping secrets. And Ames, yes, it was for if I had an accident. But you're right, they could find the records faster than he could tell them. I'll call the surgery tomorrow. According to their website, I won't be able to see my regular doctor until Fri but I'm sure I can manage until then. I've got a volunteering fair at my uni that I'm helping out at tomorrow so hopefully, that should help me feel a bit better for having done something. Ok, now I'm really going to wash the pots.
