I got a stacking tube of 4 types from whittards in November for £4, I think there were ten of each so good value. They were different types - 'detox' 'relax' etc. They mostly smell like farts but they taste pretty good.

1 - bookworm is my cyber stalking mumI am naturally delighted she is here as I'm trying to up the wattage of her lightbulb.
2 - tea tastes of echinacea, so if you don't like the plant-y edge don't get any (I have to be in the mood for it). It is from Asda (if anyone else wants any)

I am thinking of going back too as I have been battling with ghosts lately and think that i need to work through them with some help.
Counselling isnt for everyone but it did help me understand not only myself but those around me who have been an influence on my life. I have constantly been let down by the people I rely on and the feelings of worthessness have returned.
The problem with counselling is its very variable quality. It makes brickies look like top-notch professionals *all* of the time...
You of all people shouldn't be feeling worthless - you are clever *and* a babe...I also would like to discover why I am kept at arms length my most people.
Because they're scared of you?He has also talked me through the full production process of manufacturing one of the products at the factory in his sleep.

Funny how you're all talking about counselling, I posted on my diary earlier about how it's totally messed up mum (well, it was a combination of bad counselling and the drink) and how I'm struggling to deal with it and be as sympathetic as I should. I just want to scream at her to stop drinking and accept that the stuff she's having counselling for never happened, whereas I know that if she were a stranger I'd have a lot more compassion.
If it was your mother and this was the first time you'd heard it - you'd have a lot more compassion.
The technical term for it is "compassion fatigue" - it happens to everyone."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
