    Fir has psoriasis. It usually gets a lot better over summer but this summer it hasn't really. So next. Step is usually phototherapy at hospital, but ATM schedule just doesn't allow, so we decided to buy one for him to use at home.

    Its basically blasting him with light. UVB I think. ( cannot remember this morning, fluffy head) DH is one of those people who needs sunlight and who suffers if he doesn't get enough.

    Ah yes, I remember now, I just didn't recall the name of the treatment.

    No reason you should remember either gen!

    We used the sock, was very funny.

    RP walked through while we were doing it ( phototherapy, not 'it' ) and seemed a bit confused which made us giggle even more. A man with a sock on and goggles is weirder than just a naked man.

    GDB, I think Lady GDB must be one of the luckiest ladies having you.

    That's very sweet of you to say that, but funnily enough I view it exactly the other way round. I think I'm incredibly lucky.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Sounds to me like you're both incredibly lucky :) If only we could all have such good fortune!

    I'm just a little worried that you and RP should also be wearing goggles to protect your eyesight. Is there any suggestion of that in the manual? Or how long you can safely be exposed for without goggles?

    Teehee. Are you getting a hot tub GDb? I think that one is too small. You need to be able to snuggle up more easily with mrs GDb and float and bob about a bit. Sitting looking at each other is fine, but its hard to talk sweet nothings so far away from each other. :D

    You are gorgeous, and I'm sure you will find Mr Right, or more realistically Mr Almost-Right-But-Who-Cares, if you set your mind to it.

    I recommend signing up for night school classes in motor mechanics, plumbing or DIY, as that's one place where men are likely to be found. If nothing else, you'll learn a useful skill. :)

    But concentrate on the thesis just for now. Don't let me distract you.

    They do a six person one, where I imagine that a great deal of plugging and playing could take place simultaneously.

    My parents were like that. My dad still feels he was v lucky to have been married to my mum for 55 years. :)

    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.
