    Monday. Hopefully catheters will finally be coming out. One bag is currently red, seems to have blood in the urine, whilst other bag normal colour. Not entirely sure how that can happen when both catheters are going into the same bladder, but hey ho!

    I've got my friends coming from Manchester, as they didn't want me to be on my own, how lovely is that?

    I want to wish everyone on here a Happy New Year, and also thank you from the bottom of my heart for how much support you've given me with all my health issues. Its been a tough year, as I know it has been for many.

    Lets hope 2016 is a brilliant year for everyone here on the Elite. :T:T

    Good Luck for Monday:D
    Wishing you a Healthier and Happy New Year, how nice of your friends:T Enjoy xx

    Hey guys and girls.

    Hope you all had a fabulous Xmas.

    It's almost the end of the year again. I'm sorry I have not had much chance to be part of the ELITE family this year. I've been so busy with work and hiding in bed because of the beast like family next door and their constant slamming/thudding/crashing/bashing etc. I bet I have missed out on so much!

    I hope you all have a great evening tonight, and I wish each and every single one of you all the best for 2016. Let's hope it's a great year for everyone filled with happiness and joy and good things.

    Thanks to the lovely ladies that have supported me via PM with my ongoing neighbour issues. It really meant a lot to me, and I truly do appreciate it.

    Catch up with you all soon.

    One more thing!:)
    I actually didn't go for any of the glitchy items today, as I didn't need them.

    The reason I have been posting the glitches is, I got a bit fed up a while ago of glitches only being posted late in the day, when for some people, it was too late to go out and get them.
    Now I can post them early morning and although I am not always able to go out and test them myself, I know that in most cases they will work and that there are good people on the forum who are prepared to take the risk!

    Happy New Year!:):)



    thanks for all your hardwork squigs and the team effort with izzy,anon and sal.i rarely do apg but seeing the deals even untested early will help so many people.:Ti really wish their was a dislike button as some posts on here are getting a little to unpleasant for my liking.:(

    Use as many of these as you can in 2016.
    1. Your shoes are the first thing people subconsciously notice about you. Wear nice shoes.
    2. If you sit for more than 11 hours a day, there's a 50% chance you'll die within the next 3 years.
    3. There are at least 6 people in the world who look exactly like you. There's a 9% chance that you'll meet one of them in your lifetime.
    4. Sleeping without a pillow reduces back pain and keeps your spine stronger.
    5. A person’s height is determined by their father, and their weight is determined by their mother.
    6. If a part of your body "falls asleep", You can almost always "wake it up" by shaking your head.
    7. There are three things the human brain cannot resist noticing - food, attractive people and danger.
    8. Right-handed people tend to chew food on their right side.
    9. Putting dry tea bags in gym bags or smelly shoes will absorb the unpleasant odor.
    10. According to Albert Einstein, if honey bees were to disappear from earth, humans would be dead within 4 years.
    11. There are so many kinds of apples, that if you ate a new one every day, it would take over 20 years to try them all.
    12. You can survive without eating for weeks, but you will only live 11 days without sleeping.
    13. People who laugh a lot are healthier than those who don’t.
    14. Laziness and inactivity kills just as many people as smoking.
    15. A human brain has a capacity to store 5 times as much information as Wikipedia.
    16. Our brain uses the same amount of power as a 10-watt light bulb!!
    17. Our body gives enough heat in 30 minutes to boil 1.5 liters of water!!
    18. The Ovum egg is the largest cell and the sperm is the smallest cell!!
    19. Stomach acid (conc. HCl) is strong enough to dissolve razor blades!!
    20. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day & while you walk, SMILE. It is the ultimate antidepressant.
    21. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
    22. When you wake up in the morning, pray to ask God's guidance for your purpose, today.
    23. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
    24. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, broccoli, and almonds.
    25. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
    26. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts and things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
    27. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
    28. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
    29. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Forgive them for everything.
    30. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
    31. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
    32. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
    33. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
    34. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
    35. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
    36. Help the needy, Be generous! Be a 'Giver' not a 'Taker'
    37. What other people think of you is none of your business.
    38. Time heals everything.
    39. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
    40. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
    41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
    42. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
    "He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas" Benjamin Franklin

    There is an ignore button that works pretty effectively. I hope more people will make use of it in 2016.

    By no means can it filter out everything you don't like though. Posts can and will be quoted by people not on your ignore list but most often it's the same people quoting/commenting just to keep it going and stir the pot.

    With the right people on ignore you can miss out most of the bickering :cool:

    ETA: I'm sure I'll be accused of stirring the pot by making this post, if you feel that way just stick me on ignore :rotfl:

    i have never put anyone on ignore eventhough there has always been conflict here in one way or another.my comment was made in general as for me posts from differing camps have been out or order but as i said this is my view,sadly it seems only certain posters are allowed to hold views.
