Tiredness may be due in part to a slight iron deficiency

Symptoms of anemia

Often, no symptoms
Paleness
Feeling tired
Unusual shortness of breath during exercise
Fast heartbeat
Cold hands and feet
Brittle nails
Headaches

Foods high in iron

Liver and other meats
Seafood
Dried fruits like apricots, prunes and raisins
Nuts
Beans, especially lima beans
Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and broccoli
Blackstrap molasses
Whole grains
Iron-fortified breads and cereals (check the label)


So easiest way to get some iron: tablet, lentil soup, bean and grain salad, juice from juice bar including dark green veg, snack on dried fruit and nuts.

Try to avoid cheering yourself up with sugar - the low after the rush will be worse than usual

Best of luck with your day, hope that the good thoughts help you!

Tutt tutt Martin drinking coffee before going on air! You shouldn't drink caffine - or eat chocolate - as it dries your throat and mouth making it harder to talk

LOTS of water is the way forward.

I regularly work early shifts so appreciate the tiredness.

Just think of the positives - you're doing something thousands of people would love to do but don't get the chance, you're being paid to do something you love etc

Deep breathing to boost oxygen levels

Goodness, saw you on the TV this morning, but totally forgot you were human.

Get some sleep, and don't follow ALL the advice on here - it would keep you busy till the middle of next week!

Do you get weekends?

I hope your father gets better.

Now lillibet - I'll try a lot of stuff - but I'm not rubbing white vinegar in.

Feeling much better now - have followed much of the above

Splashed water on face
Got a banana
Stretched
Had a little walk
Turned the TV on (my version of music)
Read some nice emails
Got the MSG to text me a kiss (did that one myself, but it helped)

Now feeling ready to face the world - well Radio 2 and then News 24 anyway - and have got my TTD list from friday down to only 30 things - which isn't that bad....!

By the way - one of the things I ticked of this mornign was the publishers edits and cover of MoneySaving Old Style the Book... .which is titled 'Thrifty Ways For Modern Days' and in my hand on the front cover is.... a bottle of white vinegar

Thanks Old Stylers x

Bananas. The kind you eat not the kind you go
mashed (dunno why), preferably 2.

thanks for this site to you and all of you who work on it!

This will perk you up. Cheese sandwich pudding, like a bread and butter pud but make cheese sarnies and layer in a dish, pour on the egg/milk mixture, add seasoning you like and cover with a sprinkle more cheese, then bake it in the oven. Always worked when I was a teenager with 'growing pains'.
Divide your to do list up into categories on a sheet of paper, say in three so you can fold the paper over, then you only ever need to look at a third of it at a time. Mine is divided into day-to-day household stuff, business and voluntary work.
