    Omg, piddled put 6 kg since last night.

    Feel good. Side effects have started to kick in more but are totally bearable still

    That's nearly 12 pints! :eek: Great to hear you're feeling good. :)

    Had a horrendous night last night, something tripped our switch in the early hours (I was up as James had been rather irresponsible and stayed out late after work and not let me know...blooming 2am when he got in!). Anyway, I suspect it is my ageing tumble dryer....but the end result was I was so spooked by the tripping of the switch that I convinced myself we were about to end up in flames, so couldn't sleep and had to keep checking all the rooms for smoke and flames (oh the joys of OCD)

    I managed to convince myself we were not going to become fire balls at approx 5am this morning and went to sleep....for an hour.

    On the relationship front, we went to Walton on the Naze on Monday, can't say I am impressed by the place, I always thought Felixstowe was a bit OAP territory but Walton on the Naze beats it hands down, although their pier is better than ours (mainly because ours is falling down and people are banned from walking on it).

    Hope you survive today despite the sleeplessness. Glad the relationship going well. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Crikey - that's almost a stone! At this rate you'll probably end up being one of these people who have to walk around in the shower to get wet. :D
    Glad you're starting to feel better!

    You should have come to Walton on Thames!
    No pier, but there are luxury cruises available on the Walton Jester.:D

    That's an interesting looking boat- but we're all wondering how fast it can go in, say, furlongs per fortnight.;)

    i'm confused at the connection you have drawn between the riverboat and the piddling. are you suggesting fitting out the riverboat with a water wheel and positioning LIR above it? piddlepower?

    Try to remember to keep it segregated for that purpose. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
