Eating before sleep is natural for species such as ours. You hunt/gather your food, you eat it, then you sleep.

Ah, good! Evidence from a highly credible scientific source that what I've been saying to DW for years is true. :cool:

Now I no longer have to apologise for nodding-off half way through some inane drama or laboured documentary.

"Sorry dear, but science tells us this is perfectly natural behavior. You can tell me who did it after the News at Ten."

I actually rather like the aerating tap in the downstairs bathroom, and would like to explore the idea of having a showerhead that gives the same feeling of lots of water without hitting me particularly hard that I get when I wash my hands with the aerating tap. Yes, I do have a meter. No, I don't have softened water.

I had one on holiday and it was surprisingly good. If I was changing shower heads then I'd get a "wide shower head", I hadn't much fancied them before using one to be honest.

Shower heads start a whole debate here I am not ready for. I want a massive one that feels like being in the rain, my dad says if we don't install a power shower we'll regret it. Dh says, lets have a big shower head like rain, then a handheld shower at waist height for focused showering and rinsing. Bathrooms are too far down the line for me to imagine.

Chewy is saying exactly what the nutritionists told me. They start out with 'put less in, take more out ' which is true, but there are all sorts of complications and get outs to this. It's not as simple as it seems when. Something goes exceptionally wrong or right.

I thought nutritionist wasn't a regulated term/ title whatever unlike dietitian. I also remember that scientists used to criticise something called the detox diet (I think which involved eating I don't know boiled rice for ages). I think it was nicknamed "the cure in search of a disease"

I always believed the reason for the association between late night eating and weight gain was due to the fact that busy people might put off eating all day and when they get to the evening they just finally crack and need instant gratification so they grab the most appealing, fastest food they can cram down their necks. Never a salad or anything sensible - something fried /starchy/ pre-baked like biscuits or cakes

Seems to be all 'me me me' tonight - we have 40cm square shower head with leds that come on with the flow and change colour to indicate the temperature and yes it does feel like being in the (warm) rain - plus each shower also has a normal handset on a tube which can be used as well or instead of the overhead - no body jets though...

May be you should abandon doing things in a sensible order and do some special bits for you two first?

I can never remember which. I saw them through the doctors though...so might have been dieticians? Tbh, nothing was that useful or helpful. They just sort of agreed I was fooked and should probably try giving up cabbage.

Edit: re course..there is a metabolic increase if you eat early in the day..tbh, I can even feel it, so grinding is mine now. The problem with metabolism is it is real, but it is abused as a term. Slower means eat even less. My problem is if I eat less than my current metabolic rate now I literally cannot get the nutrients I need without extensive pills etc. becUze of my developed gp issue getting tested a lot is a problem too.


I think that was what was wrong last week tbh, just malnourishment, which is hard to accept when you keep gaining weight. It's not food I need it's vitamins and minerals. The less I eat the more fooked the systems dealing with it get, so when I do eat something normal my body things it has to store every last bit of it. That's why the amphetamines were so wildly successful for me, I could eat the same, and even more, and lose weight.

Your shower sounds lovely. Any chance of a pic...person in it optional

If the last sentence is for me, chance would be a fine thing. I do know having downstairs operational is going to improve life but I am really very fed up of the bathroom ATM. The bath has a stupid design and water sloshes out easily and everytime its cleaned, brcause it has a sort of channel around the moulded bit which channels watert out on to the floor and then, because the towels placed there to absorb this are not quite effective enough the water is rotting ta floor board, and staining the ceiling below and we miss bathing together. It will come. It feel worse in winter.:D

Before the bathroom can be done we need the rsj in upstairs and that should come after the rsj below it, which is lower on the list than the kitchens (past and present), which might be best coming after a new down stairs loo......:rotfl::rotfl:

I can see why it's so much easier if you do it not living in it

Hug. Hope you can get some progress soon. I know what you mean about things getting you down when they go on for too long, and my inconveniences are trivial compared with yours. I'm looking forward to having heating in my bathroom again in a few weeks, though. I've been talking to the new builder again, and agreeing priorities for the multitude of little bits I want him to do. I said getting my bathroom radiator reconnected was top of my list.

Next week we have the new year site meeting. It seems to me fewer meetings and more doings would be fun.:D but they need to see the structural engineer, and the architect comes for that, and head builder...so needs to be on days they can all do. We don't need to be here.....we are inconsequential:rotfl:



Thank you for the hug. I feel lots better than last week. I am taking my minerals and vitamins.

group hug everyone?
