Good morning all! 
Now own up - who's opened the first window on the advent calendar and ate the chocolate already?
Been awake since 3am so decided to start some paperwork.
Ordered Hotel Chocolat selection box.

If I knew what it was I'd bottle it and sell it.
I was saying to Snaggs last night that since I came off the anti Ds I have much more energy (and my libido is back:D). In fact I almost feel like when I first started taking them IYSWIM

I didn't know that you had stopped taking them Luc. I hope you did it gradually.
DD2 has just arrived with at least 3 loads of washing for me to do. :eek:
Good excuse to keep the heating on though.0 -

err -nope - kind of happened by accident:o
When I was at Mums in October I had thought I was going for a week so only took enough for that week with me. When I decided to stay longer so me and Hubbles could go to London for our anniversary I forgot to get him to bring more so went pretty much a week without. And then I kind of forgot about them as I'd got out of the habit of taking them... Apart from a weird full body head rush type sensation for a couple of days I didn't detect any side effects and a month and a bit later I seem to be better in myself than I was when on them, at least the last few weeks on them26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

I was as bad. Couldn't get into docs to discuss weaning myself off them so I threw a paddy and didn't get any more. Stopped that day. Few years ago now.0 -
