    Terrible! Got the hangover from hell! Least its meant a no spend day for me as i've been in bed or had my head down the toilet all day!

    New year......last year in debt for me. I'm looking forward to the challenge. I think if i'm really disciplined i can clear it all by November.

    How are you misscutiepie?

    I would love an on/off switch on my head.:huh:

    I've always wanted one, even as a kid I was always seeking something to think about, and it looks like #3 son is the same - even driving down the road I want to know what 'that lorry' is carrying, where it's going, trying to remember urls in my head so I can check when I get home........ Debt is just another one of those things I need to think about - and it doesn't help that I seem to be the only [STRIKE]person[/STRIKE]adult in the house that IS bothered by the amount we've spent on keeping the cars on the road through credit cards, that we've borrowed money to pay off the o/d and spent it instead........

    ARGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    Same resolution as me! No more junk food for me. My 30" waist jeans are getting a snug so need to cut back on the rubbish!

    Ahh then maybe I can help :) (Hope so...)

    I'm have it quite severely, the more common winter depressions, and I would definitely recommend www.outsidein.co.uk and their forum. It's a comfort to discuss things with fellow sufferers and sometimes even laugh about it through the darker days :)

    Most GPs are fairly, reserved, about diagnosing SAD, they usually look for a pattern of three years. Generally they are just going to put it down to severe depression and as they don't see you in the up/summer days, they can't really compare it. You don't go to the doctors and say, guess what I feel amazing today :rotfl:

    Definitely get yourself a light box (says she who hasn't got one yet :o ) but I have a Lumie alarm clock which has made such a massive difference. It fades up and down to help you wake up and go to sleep naturally. It definitely helps at 6.45am on a dark December morning.
    Got mine from Boots through Quidco, £90 - £5 from Quidco and 1000 of their points (not a clue what that's worth mind you!)

    Hope that helps a bit :)
