OneLittle the Quetiapine and Depixol are total bastards for weight gain. Olanzapine is even worse. I have clients who are on these meds. They sadly all gain weight despite dietician/physio/ sports and exercise input. It is a serious challenge to wanting to stay on meds (do not like the term 'compliance').
Queen I got such a flaming once for daring to question Ruby Wax's opinions re MH issues! Never again....
As for spending.....We work damn hard for our ££ whether it is at work outside the home or by supporting our partners and family inside the home. I do whatever I can to address imbalance whether it be social/economic/political and I try not to flaunt what I buy IRL. But here I feel I can have conversations with like minded women who enjoy the wider subject of fashion and a bit of fun too. And there is much warmth to be had from knowing that out there in the big blue yonder are people who I have a connection with and who I would otherwise have never ever had the chance to 'meet'. The future possibilities are endless. I wuv the interwebby I do.
Queen I have been to Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains with its beautiful Spanish mosque and Tafroute in the Anti Atlas of Morocco. The latter has THE most spectacular surroundings- deserty Alpine and you can stuff your face on almonds and all things made with as they grow well there. Oualidia on the coast with a lovely lagoon is gorgeous and just along from Casablanca. i haven't been to Marrakech though. I travelled through Morocco during my summer break from university in the mid 80's on a Transalpino 3 month rail pass. Got into great fun and got into great trouble too! Tanned myself into a leather bag (those were the days when we did) and took refuge from the relentless heat in the mountains where it was cool by day and chilly cold by night. Sucked on fresh dates (nothing like the dried ones we have here-even the imported 'fresh) to keep our mouths moist in the dry high mountain air and ate Pastilla, goat and endless little pastries flavoured with mint, orange and almond syrup. My memories do tend to be either food or clothing related!
