    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.

    It's not that bad having to drink extra WooWoo is it? ;)

    I'm not much of a drinker, another effect of hypothyroidism is your body's inability to metabolise alcohol normally which is why we either get drunk very quickly, throw up or really suffer for it afterwards!

    Oh that's interesting, not sure if my mate knows that but since a few months before she was diagnosed she's not been able to drink much without getting ill. Must ask her if she knows it might be connected.

  • Well done on the debt Red and glad you know what is wrong now Bunny.

    I've had a letter from the bank's solicitors.:eek:
    They reckon I owe £61,606.89.
    They will accept payments of £1,256.54 per month over 5 years.
    If I can make a lump payment of £10,000 now, they will consider a longer term of repayment.
