Ahh! I keep meaning to look up a programme that someone mentioned to me but I don't know quite where to start, it is about treating all sorts of illnesses by changing what people eat, I think they do one about stress and mental health which would be useful for me!

Eating well can definitely make a difference to depression - omega oils are particularly helpful.

I used to get Maxepa on prescription but they were so huge and a bit bloating, I felt, so I stopped.

But I've said it a million times and will say it again the most helpful thing for me initially was walking regularly in a pleasant environment and now it's the outdoor swimming.

When I first started walking I had to force myself to do it but it made such a difference to my mood.

I'm off out with my walking group this afternoon.

Running is the thing that does it for me, I don't go anywhere near having a panic attack when I run reguarly. I see the physio later this week and hopefully can get back to Couch to 5k next week.
Frugal day, spent nothing but will go back to CS and buy little bone china cup and saucer for £1 later :-)

Well, another day done. It hasn't been a NSD for me today, as I needed some petrol for the car. Also treated myself to a co$ta mint hot chocolate which is one of their christmas editions - it was amazing! Gonna have to get that again

Hope everyone is well this evening

Purple - please keep eating, you will feel worse if you don't.

Slowly - I really want one of those hot chocolates now.....mmm.....

I have been making bunting today, for someone who doesn't really sew that's quite good!! Hoping to finish it in the next couple of days, I will try and post a pic.

day 2 of WW2 rations. I am missing protein and finding the sugar too much. Have agreed to swap my sweet ration for a couple of eggs with the neighbours
