Ooh, Taipo - I was going to say book shop or the library! Always works for me too!!

porridge. always works for me within about 1/2 hour of having a big bowl (sorry for tmi)

coffee or sugar free sweets - the ones that say "might have a laxative effect"

squats!

fruit cubes are amazing

Glad I'm not alone blousy!

Standing in front of a bookshelf for 10 mins or so never fails to send my bowls into overdrive.

squat. Really low. Works for me (Of course you do need to get up and onto the loo before it comes out. I'm not suggesting you take a quick crap on the bathroom floor)

Taipo - that's true for me too. Regular as anything in my old life as a librarian!

Bel- can't believe 4 and a half pounds! oh well at least you will have a big loss next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bread dipped in olive oil followed by a spoonful of honey.Works for my dd
