    Hi Buffy,

    Hope you feel better for the sleep.

    Been lovely to get to know you too. I shall try to come back here in the evenings after I get home from work, when I start back again next week.

    Honestly I'm a bit lonely too. I don't have many friends - I work, shop, cook, clean (not enough cooking or cleaning :o) and sleep. Studying and working has meant I have very little time to find friends. I think these days more of your friends are spread out so you have less local true community. I feel lucky that the only house we could afford (due to the state of it) brought me to a fairly reasonable area - just don't talk about the car crime or some of the people :cool:

    To get plasters off without pain: Daub olive oil (or any oil, but olive seems nicer than chip fat :rotfl:) onto it till it's fairly sodden. Leave to soak for a while. Plaster peels off much easier. :)

    Olive oil also works to get those black bits plasters leave behind off your skin.

    Woohoo, party! Better find an outfit!

    Hi Snaggs, how are you today? :wave:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Thanks Snaggles, I'll try that.

    Linda, sounds a good idea.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    :wave: Hiya Linda, good thanks if a little tired!

    Off to the gym later though, so hoping that will jump start my sleep patterns.

    How are you?
