    I could really eat chocolate....hum, wonder what delights I might be able to find in the freezer

    I've discovered that when I really fancy something like chocolate I should just eat some. If I don't I end up eating loads of other things trying to compensate, which in the end means I eat twice as many calories as the chocolate I'm trying to avoid.

    Yeah I know Toto, I would eat some if there were any in the house. OH taken car and is away and I don't have a shop in walking distance. Maybe a hot chocolate might do the trick

    Well done on the weight loss BTW, you've lost loads then since Weybiza?

    Do you know how they did it Inky? Paypal has always worried me...

    Not sure SRM - I rarely use my Paypal account & even when I do, it's only small amounts foe ebay payments, the last one was £6.15 :rotfl: I'm waiting for them to get back to me.

    Not at all Inky, in fact it made me :rotfl:I thought that's what having a baby and a krispy kreme addiction will do to you. I was about 1 1/2 stone heavier in weybiza than on my wedding day. The good news is though that I am now only 3lbs away from my wedding weight :)

    Well I'm probably digging myself a hole here - it was the hair colour that threw me, not your size Toto, thats a good on your weight now - I'm going stop now :o

    Aww at your avatar Toto, so cute. Been ages since you blogged.

    She is a cutie :) she's just learned to give me kisses when I ask, she even makes the mwah noise :D

    The blog generated a whole big headache for me which is why I stopped writing it. I'm very tempted to start it up again though. Doctor T is now a dim and distant memory which is a good thing. We've got an appointment at the Maudsley in a couple of weeks which hopefully will help us to sort out the medication. I'm going to discuss minocycline with them and ask if they will support Abs on it. She improved so much during the few weeks she was on it, a lot of those improvements have gone now though, which I expected because she wasn't on it for long enough for there to be a permanent change. Dr Mike said he felt 2 years would be long enough for the full effects, but there is no way I can keep her on it that long without the support of her doctors.

    Moving to the US is still an option for the future if we really can't get support here.

    That's good Sal - will you be able to fit it around your existing job ? I assume you're hoping to do it instead of your existing job eventually :D

    Yes I shall only be doing 1 afternoon a week. Ive applied to do an access to education course next year which is a year course. Then hopefully Sep 2011 I will start teacher training if I can get on a course and can afford it

    Am sorry it turned into a headache. Hope you can find a way to write without it, I find anything medicial/behavioural linked fascinating.
