It's difficult when you have to sit down for long periods - try to get up, move about and stretch a bit as much as you can - even if you have to nip to the ladies and do a bit of stretching in there. That Cobra stretch can be sort-of done standing up. Just stand up and lean backwards just with your top half if you see what I mean.

When I banjaxed by lower back, I was in discomfort whenever I was sitting down - standing up / walking was so much more comfortable and in fact ironing (I know you don't iron much ) was the most comfortable of all - I think the gentle movement was very soothing.

Thanks p&f, I try and remember but I'm not very good at it . I must though, it's very painful today.

Funnily enough, I find walking very uncomfortable as on occasion it 'jars' my back, but keeping it mobile by stretching does help a lot, and that's when it's most comfortable. I do find it helps washing the dishes (I'm not uncomfortable enough to try ironing ) so maybe I'll have a nice sparkly kitchen

peaceandfreedom - your weight loss has been brill :j - mine hasn't budged OH kindly said that i am toning up *eep* i certainly don't want to tone up at this size :eek: - Hoping in 2weeks i'll see a difference - not expecting any change this week as i've been exercising but totally rubbish at it as i'm so tired

Well, I think my weight loss started off OK but I'm not sure it's going that well now. I am sticking mostly to my eating plan though and getting a little bit of exercise to try to build up my lazy muscles. I've cut so much rubbish out of my diet but I'm not sure I'm shifting much weight. I think it'll be a long haul and maybe 1 pound per week is over-ambitious. But we'll see.

I've just had to stop myself keep re-checking the bay of e - i have a high number of people apparently interested in my car but i can't take any of it seriously as who buys a car without going looking at it first? Anyway i'll soon be put out of my misery on that and will then need to make a decision i can't afford to keep the car so need it to sell *now* but i can't stomach the idea of letting it go for £2000 less than its worth

I can't offer any advice on this one but I thought I'd cheer you up by saying that my little old car isn't worth 2 grand in the first place. :rotfl:

Meant to say that I sold a couple of items on ebay for a profit of roughly 40 smackeroonies. Gone to my Cap1 credit card. :dance:

You'll get there with the weightloss - both of you. When I've lost weight before, I seem to lose on alternate weeks - so one week I'd have a loss, the next it would be nothing or even a small gain. Ultimately it went down, though it was a slow process and quite disheartening at times.

I think my car is just about worth £2000 :cool:

Oooh I've got a right grump on tonight :rotfl: Not sure why really, it's been steadily building up all day. I'm shattered so I'm going to have a nice early night tonight with a book and try and chill out.

Hope everyone is well!

Hey jwil - really sorry you're a little out of sorts tonight - i know it doesn't help being tired too so a rest with a book sounds great. Hope you are back to your usual cheery self soon

peaceandfreedom - i don't know if my response came across right yesterday - Basically what i should have put is that your post cheered me up because you pointed out the obvious positive to me about something which i've just been stressing out about Thank you It made me smile that i realised i should be grateful that i have this car and the opportunity to get some decent money for it so i can at least try and clear target 1 in my sig And of course apologies if my reply was blunt in any way

jwil - thank you for your advice yesterday - i honestly wasn't expecting a reply after seeing your post on here - as peaceandfreedom says hope the blues have left you now

ebayqueen - hi good to see you again Hope all is well with you too x
