Thanks Maid, really glad you like it! I haven't done much food photography before (I do nature stuff on my other blog) so this is a new challenge. I did have fun trying to create some arty pictures of the ingredients though - usually I just sling them on the plate. Last night I was rushing to arrange mine photogenically whilst serving DP's and DD's too. I created a perfectly proportioned plate with all the best bits on mine, and sort of aimed the remainder in the general direction of their plates. 
New god that sounds hard to deal with. 
I was going to suggest some Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus to raise your energy a bit, but you have to be really careful taking even mild stimulants (Eleuthero is very gentle and restorative) when you are depleted, as that energy has to come from somewhere, and you'll often get a rebound exhaustion later. It kind of sounds as though that's what you're experiencing anyway - you've robbed peter to pay paul, energy wise, and now you know you'll be paying that debt off into next week.
Kiwi and daisy sorry to hear you have this debilitating condition too. Have any of you tried seeing a herbalist, out of interest?
Thanks Ruby, I still haven't taken any painkillers, although back bad yesterday - it's become a challenge in my head to see how long I can go, I think.
Well done Beryl and all the other losers. 
Buda when I was drinking wine most nights my sleep pattern and quality were much worse - if I'd had enough to drop off easily then I'd wake in the early hours and not be able to get back to sleep for ages. If I'd just had a couple of glasses early evening then I'd have trouble getting to sleep in the first place. Now I'm drinking much less it doesn't seem to affect me like that when I do drink. It's the every most nights drinking that really affects my sleep, I think.
Lily YY to back fat - my back is weak and therefore doesn't have very good muscle tone and therefore it just looks...flabby. [boak] That and upper arms that resemble raw sausages! I don't look too bad with clothes on (big tits, smallish waist in comparison) but I'm really conscious of my arms. I've always disguised my legs with long skirts, but there's no hiding the arms and the chins!
Lots of sugary gremlins in my head today - they all look like Bertie Bassett. Man alive I want some licorice allsorts....
Bullet this made me ! Did you resist the Bertie gremlins?
Couch i love what you did with the spag bol. I love making a proper ragu, but for me that goes with pasta. You've given me the inspiration to devise a pasta-less lasagne.
