Alice I have a pair of ghds which were costly enough so won't be replacing them, went to bed with hair wet so it was tres curly so always needs staightened again
MOTIVATION pretend your dd has her communion in 2 weeks and you've invited lots of people, I'm starting to feel the pressure

JKS, It'll take abit of time but soon you'll be going to bed no worries, we were awful for a while hated leaving the house and tried to time it so there was someone here, even now that we have no Sally I'm abit funny about leaving the house but our alarm scared them off, and we always use ours at night now, Do you have an alarm installed? My friend has one with the panel in her bedroom so she can set it from there and it has a panic button on it too!

Flame I had noticed the namechange, does that mean you stopped the pills too soon?

Called to see my friend this morning who had the baby couple of weeks ago, [broody] she's still all lovely and new

Hail? I hoped we were past all that.

Wasting - I like the idea of a short easy list for unmotivated days, it feels good to tick everything off.

Flame - yoga looks like a good plan. Will there be chanting and deep breathing and feeling 'cleansed' now you are free of pills? Or is it just bending yourself into impressively bendy shapes?

Welcome FrankMustard!

I agree Trillian! I was trying to imagine not having the internet last night... ... does not compute... does not compute...
Been online for 13 years, apart from a couple of bizarre periods of pclessness (one of which was also tvless!), couldn't do without it.

Ali, it's deceptive though! I'm just not writing much on my list! A lie-down sounds like a good idea.

Splashing sounds good CWWM!
