    Back from the psych, it was really positive and she's just tinkering with my meds. She's discharging me for now too, but I can go back if I have problems. It was a good chat and really productive I think.

    That sounds really positive Ames :)

    Nice menu Luc - but erm, mince stir fry?

    This week we have -
    Monday - steak, potatoes and veg for me (Mr Squizz at posh awards dinner with his dept at work, me not invited hmmph)
    Tuesday - chicken pie with leftovers from yesterday's roast
    Wednesday - herring (got two for 49p reduced in Waitrose yesterday) and something
    Thursday - burgers I think
    Not sure after that!

    I was dubious at first but with good lean mince it is lovely!

    Nice menu chez Squizz too (except I'll pass on the herrings ta _pale_)

    I'm having Salmon and veg or couscous or chips or some combination tonight, not sure for the rest of the week, I've got a list of 14 meals for the next two weeks and I'll decide each day based on how I feel.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Dennis just nearly ripped my finger off trying to get to a bag of catnip!
    I was dipping his toy mouse in it and he leapt up and try to claw the whole lot out of my hands :eek: he's now being all slobbery and loving :D

    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.
