    I read your message & thought wow! thats fantastic! I have an injured back @ the moment & can't do exercise like sits ups etc. but I am allowed to swim & walk lenghts in the pool, so thats what I'll do around twelve o'clock (pools quiet then).

    Have a good day everyone!

    A walk in the sunshine will give you loads of energy! The sun was very warm when i walked to work this morning. Wish i wore a skirt now.

    I just had to chase some runaway lab pup down the street. Thats given me some energy! He broke a post and knocked his owner over!

    Copied from yesterday, so as not to drag the thread up and confuse matters...

    how about making up a fruit smoothie and sipping at it all day? Has this come on all of a sudden or have you always had a dodgy tummy? I'm really allergic to soy which is a total pain in the bum. Do you think this is all food allergy related?

    Fruit smoothie is what I'm surviving on. I've had food allergies for about two years, getting gradually worse so it could be. They seem to think I have a stomach ulcer.

    Yes, that's probably their first port of call. You had the usual cameras and stuff?

    Morning Everyone

    I am knackered today. Had about 5 hours sleep last night, and even less the night before, got so much going on in my head its a nightmare (money and work related).

    Anyway... new day and all that! :rolleyes:

    At least its sunny today, and Im going out at lunchtime to post off my old mobiles (free post) and something that sold on ebay (gets me out of the office for some air).

    It's pretty pointless really, we've only ever paid them full interest once, otherwise it's 0% or 3.9% :confused:
    Maybe it's to do with the £4k we've just stuck on it :rotfl:

    Nope. They said I'm young so there's no need to :rolleyes: Just gotta wait six weeks for a blood test and suffer meanwhile. Very odd.
