    Morning :o

    Yes I have a diary. Finding it helping motivate me tuck those extra pounds away.

    Oh wow 5 I bet they keep you busy. We'd love a
    Husky but with our work pattern it wouldn't be fare at the moment.

    I ran a half marathon last year...my first one to shift the baby weight. I didn't train as much as I'd of liked too and think I'll sign up for another one once this baby is here.

    Great news on the mortgage lender. Would the interest rates be really high though? I know sometimes they are when lending previous poor credit. I wish you could show your diary and progress and them be like oh yours on the right track I'll give you a hand. The world doesn't work like that unfortunately. X


    i can have 2-3 beers being honest any more than that and the next day i get super super low. i take a med called quetiapine which does mix well with alcohol.

    Re the huskies it bloody hard at the minute as we cant walk them when the temps are plus 13 degrees c but we have a big garden we let them run around in that. its just a shame we have the neighbours we do.

    re running i did my first full 2 years back up in northumberland and swore never too again but i am going too try entering another full later in the year. I was fine till 16miles then it was pure pain the next ten miles lol.

    Forgot to comment re Bipolar my mum has it and so does one of my best friends I have loves with both undiagnoses and diagnosed. It's tough not being able to drink if you enjoy a drink but if it helps stabilise your moods it's worth it. Have you tried in alcoholic beer. I enjoy a beer or two but with being pregnant can't. I find a couple of non alcoholic ones in the sun curb my cravings. X

    Its bloody hard my problem was it took me years too get a diagnosis, my gp is very medication based as a solution and wasnt open too me speaking with a psychiatrist. I had chatted with a family friend whose a psychiatric nurse and she said by my symptoms/mood etc i had either cyclothymia or bipolar, i went too my gp with this diagnosis and he still wouldnt refer me.

    I had too go through axa/work etc and get a counselling referral too before my gp would refer me

  • Morning,

    I hope you managed to sleep in the end. Sounds like those meds have really thrown you.

    Good work on binning the TV packages. I'm not sure I'm brave enough too.

    Yeah they have quite a bit I am on a slightly higher dose of quetiapine than what I was and its turned me into a walking zombie I didn't get too sleep till 3am and I have only just within in the last hour woken up. This I am told by my gp is normal and will pass. I am off work on the sick at the moment which isn't ideal but come a month I should be okay too go back too work.

    Had a spend day today :-( but it was a worthy spend

    I bought a new internal door for my sons bedroom door was 27quid and some pence from homebase. I clicked some nectar points and i got a 50 points voucher if i spend money there in the next month.That voucher will be getting used tomorrow i kinda forgot 2 important things lol hinges and handles.

    Survey wise today i am doing rubbish if there was a competition for getting booted outta surveys i would win. numero uno

    I am still waiting on uktoluna coughing up the 35 quid i am owed, and i have just dropped 40 quid from one poll.
