You can get fancy little burners where you put a tealight in the base and a few drops of a good quality oil in a dish on top with water. The vapour drifts about. Then you forget about it, the water evaporates, the dish cracks and you throw it all away in disgust. Or, in the same places as you can buy the oils, you can get a ring that sits on top of a bulb in any ordinary table lamp. You put some drops of oil on the ring. Balance it on the lamp. Then knock the lamp so that the ring falls off and breaks. Throw it all away in disgust. Or I know people sometimes put drops on the filter of the vacuum cleaner. Personally I don't vacuum enough to make that worthwhile.

I don't think anyone would rub them straight on their skin, you'd have to mix them up with loads of a carrier oil to dilute them sufficiently. If I put them in the bath I use literally a drop from an eye dropper for a bath full of water. Because the pure oils are very concentrated you do have to be careful and maybe, as you clearly have very specific health issues, you'd want to check beofre using them at all. The benefits are all in the mind I reckon

You've really sold that idea to me then grannynise :rotfl: :rotfl:
Afraid I couldn't use one drop in the bath or carrier oil. Past painful experience of skin flaring up in torment for 24hrs. And OH can't stand strong perfumy smells. (Mind you my first job was in a perfume factory and put me off it for years. ) Don't feel so ill today. I think it must have been the cold showers. Shame, I felt so virtuous and self helping.
Thanks for trying to help though. Maybe what I really need is one of those caramel squares nestling in the freezer...:D .

lol granny, your essay on the use of essential oils is very amusing! Been to Waitrose for work today and resisted buying any goodies - go me! I was instructed to get some products that 'summed up waitrose' so it was quite a fun trip. I opted for, amongst other things, some icecubes that had lemon, mint and cucumber frozen in them - you put them in your pimms. Not very MSE!!

My box is looking very buff now thanks Suggs. EDIT I did add some more smut to this but thought better of it and deleted it. I don't want all the rest of the members of the thread to stop talking to me.

Looks like I'm the only one who hasn't seen all of heroes yet! Who is Mr Butler then? Christopher Eccleston has just appeared, being exactly the same as h was in doctor who but with a mangier beard. Mangy is my word of the week i think.

Finally had my haddock tonight...I had it steamed with boiled potatos, slightly over-steamed green beans (woops) and what was left of my cauliflour.

I've planned my meals for the coming week, any ideas or suggestions to make it healthier? Breakfast will be either cereal, poached egg on toast, or toast & spread. Lunch will be cereal or fruit.

Fri ~ Grilled chicken leg & brown rice mixed with peppers.
Sat ~ Home made spag bol, with lots of peppers & tomatos.
Sun ~ Home made stew.
Mon ~ Chicken tikka masala & brown rice.
Tue ~ Steamed fish, boiled potatos & salad.
Wed ~ Grilled chicken leg & brown rice with veg.
Thur ~ Pork chop, jacket potato & salad.
Fri ~ Cold meat, ryvita & salad.

....... aye, just got be a Bachelors Pasta and sauce in the microwave along with a huge onion, two peppers and some Quorn 'meat'balls. Gotta love SW

As regards the suit, it all depends which way you want to go.... up or down. Do you want to put on weight so the bigger one's more comfortable? No, thought not

Suit bought in M&S 46R on the chest and 38S on the waist :j First time in donkeys years Im below a 40in waist, albeit the male waist which resides below the belly

MrsSuggs took a picture as a good oppertunity to compare and contrast against a suit picture from April 2006, there is a tad difference I think :j:beer:

Well no:rolleyes: this weeks new formula ,variety being the spice of life:rotfl: :rotfl: is buying all the WW products which is not very MSE but it stops me from thinking and H says that is all I do think about food, prepare it and plan it well this week (trip to Asda last night) is to buy all the WW ready pointed stuff so I know exactly what I can have and when and how many points it will cost me... I bought the slice roast chicken and turkey for sandwiches or salads 1/2 pont for 2 slices, the WW bacon 1/2 point per slice, 5 point WW meals, soups, salmon pate (yum);) the brown bread, I always get that so I am WW out:rotfl: the only thing is the portions are obviously measured out and prepared for you but to me they are not big enough:rotfl: the meals are bulked out with a huge amount of veg or home made WW 0- points veg soup, I eat bucket loads of that to starve off hunger:D

Just thought that could be a solution to all this food thought, the only prob I HAVE so far is that it cost me a pretty packet and nearly fainted when the lady told me the total:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: that isthe price you pay for convenience I guess:eek:

I still will cook the 0 points soups etc but the main stuff is thought free... see if that works, at least now I can have guilt free bacon:D

I did learn something though, the other night I HAD a WW meal and veg and panicked thinking that it was not enough and started cooking up some more food but had a chat to myself and told myself to calm down and see how I went (the 20 mins brain to stomach thing;) ) I was pleasantly surprised that after I allowed the food to go down and think about it I was not really hungry just used to more bulk food and did not have to have anything else, it is just getting used to a tiny cardboard processed dinner:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
