  • I'm too lazy to exercise, and don't see how I could get time to, tbh. I'll just whinge on and on that I'm not losing weight :P

    I don't eat unhealthily... I've just put on over a stone and a half since going on the pill... I was probably underweight before, but the last stone is just taking the biscuit!

    Why is she sleeping a lot?

    She always sleeps a lot, but I assume now as she is doing more exercise than she used to too!

    I am exactly the same, I need 10 hours of sleep or I am a grumpy so and so :p
  • Does anyone know if I can sign up for a halifax account (for the £5 per month) and set it up for my wages to go in there and still have my barclays account open?

    I'm hoping they wont close this because my wages aren't going in.
    It's just a current account

    I don't want to ask them incase i offend haha, but i'd rather have £5 a month for nothing!

    Or you can just transfer £1000 a month into Halifax and straight out again, that's what I do. I barely use my Barclays account -there's a branch next to my office so it's handy for banking expenses cheques, but I transfer them straight out again. Can't see it being a problem.

    Haha yeh no idea whats wrong with me. I will go to bed at 10/11 every night and not get up until 8/9. :D

    I can force myself to get up earlier but I tend to get moody :o
  • I'm so jealous. My boyfriend can sleep for 16 hours solid. His alarm clock sounds like a fire alarm - loud and shrill. The entire street must hear it, but he doesn't. It's a blessing and a curse. I've always slept lightly. Have trouble falling asleep - takes 2+ hours unless I'm drunk or ill - and wake up in the night. I always manage to sleep at 6am though - when my alarm is going off :)

    You need to exercise.

    OMG!!! That's far too little. :eek: You need to sleep more. I need 8 hours or I look and feel terrible. Apparently a lack of sleep can make you gain weight too.

    Exercise - I wouldn't know how to. What does everyone else do? I went to the gym a few times a couple of years ago, but it bored me witless.

    I've always slept badly, since I was a young child. It runs in the family. I actually have more energy on the days when I haven't slept at all the previous night, I'm wide awake and cheerful til around 3pm when it hits :P Getting 6 hours sleep feels like too much cause I can't wake myself. If I'm ill and I get 8 hours, that's when I feel rested.

    Yep I am exactly the opposite. I am sure some of it is willpower too though. I can lie in bed the WHOLE weekend. Quite happily. Now I am working I realise this is a complete waste of time so get up and do stuff :rotfl:

    I don't do any exercise either. I will play football or whatever in the summer but thats pretty much it. I know I am unfit but I just cannot be bothered. Everything is just so boring. Hate jogging. Hate the gym!
