5 litres a day?!:eek: Strewth!

Does your family live on custard and Nesquick?

At that volume, never mind the dairy - you need to be buying your own cow!:rotfl:

5 Litres with Asda longlife semi-skimmed would be £2.50 a day (on their 4 litres for £2 deal) x

I have a Mirena IUD. It lasts for 5 years, and since I had it put in (4 years ago) I have not had to buy any sanitary towels. Your body still goes through the usual cycle but you don't bleed. It is not exaggerating to say that it has changed my life (no further details required!) as well as saving loads of money.

The Mirena changed my life indeed ... depression, paranoia, anxiety/insane mood swings .. accepted Vol Redundancy last year just so I wouldn't have to 'face' people/life and could hide at home.

Had it removed and symptoms cleared within 3 weeks :eek: if only I had put 2 & 2 together years ago or been someone it didnt effect that way

But yes, not having to buy sanitary wear for the 7 years was nice but I think I would prefer to have my job back as struggling to find work now with the attached stigma of previously being depressed etc :rotfl:

On topic again I am a big fan of the watering down of liquid soap/shampoo etc and determined to try Stardrops now!

Blimey, I had no idea it could cause those sorts of problems. I have obviously been lucky (esp as I have suffered from depression before). I wonder how common those symptoms are with it? I certainly wasn't warned about any such possible problems.

I had a mirena and bled continuosly but lightly for 18 months before it was removed. Also had the depression etc .....

Some people find they are fantastic though.

Will wind up radio work when we have to go digital?

It's TV that's going digital, not radio, I believe.

Found this article saying they are considering switching radio to digital only http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/news/display.asp?searchnews=&year=&id=299
however one would get a few years winding up

Aye, totally wish I was one of those people as the lack of periods was fantastic :rotfl:
