Anyone been watching spa of embarrassing illness 2 ????

[melsy]

I cant believe they mucked up the last 10mins of the last episode. It went from adverts straight to closing credits. Cant even see when its repeated. After watching the whole lot , UKtvstyle scrub off the last bit , sooooooo annoying!

Melsy, I've been watching and really enjoying it. First of all I was a bit confused by the ending and then annoyed. I'm sure it will be repeated as uktvstyle repeat everything a dozen times but I assume the ending will always be the same unless they edit the tape.

Just checked uktvstyle website this error has been brought to their attention (that some people did not see all of the final episode)and therefore they are showing the final episode again on Friday 8th Feb at 11pm, a channel that listens to their viewers .

ahh thank you morgansauntie, thats great.

You know when you feeel like your the only one thats seen something , well it was like that with the missing bit , had to check about 3 times lol .

will go and set my sky+ now, fabbbbbb.

oops cant do it that far in advance !!!!

hmm hope I remembe after alll that, is it sad to put on calendar !!!!

Dont answer that!

Melsy I know how you feel at first I thought I had fallen asleep for a few minutes and missed the end as it was 11pm, so not sure how I going to stay awake this time as it doesn't start until 11pm.If your sad I must be as well as I'm going to put it on my sky calender this evening (only have sky not sky+).

I have actually been really inspired by this programme and GMTV'S inch loss island, so started a healthy eating plan last monday 21/1 and I'm trying to detox my mind as well (not so issue with depression) things are going well so far but I'm not doing the colonic irrigation that would be just to much of a and I would .

Obviously that should have been easy not issue not sure why I put that.

aww weell done morgansauntie, you go for it. Were are you getting recipe ideas? We had a lovely dinner last night of roast chicken , fresh beetroot salad and corn with garlic yogurt.

Im ok weight wise , if I loose any more i'll be anorexic , (nearly nearly been there before, was 6.5st once), yet still want to loose a couple more lbs!. I always want to eat fruit and drink veg when I see that programme though, did you see last years one?

Id love to do a spa thing like that for a good clearout. Thats the only way Id do an enema.

Im very into a lot of the holisitic treatments , Im starting a Reiki Usui course in March.

I really really want to see Natalia O'Sulivan , I think that sort of combination is amazing reflexology and physchic connection through spirit. I do a lot of spiritual work,(attend a circle), but so need to do more on the body and less on the mind too , Ive been told I read to many books on the subject (spiritual/relgious) and have to much head time just like the PMT sufferer.

also have depression /anxiety stuff to sort through.

Melsy, I have only just found this programme but luckily uktvstyle are repeating series 2 at the moment. I've got Amanda Hamilton's last book - Life Detox and the GMTV website have had some of her receipes on there but really I'm just using my own common sense. I do have some weight to lose which would help my phsycical health problems but they and the medication I take can contribute to weight gain so sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a vicious circle. This time my mind seems to be in the right place to succeed which is part of Amanda Hamilton's philosophy.

At the moment I'm getting through loads more than 5 portions of fruit and veg a day and my diet has become more vaird thought I would miss chocolate and coke but so far I'm not.

I also believe in the mind/body connection and alternative treatments. It's only now that my depression is relatively stable (thats taken 10 years) that I seem to be able to focus on my physical illnesses/issues I have.

It seems like you are already doing a lot to help yourself which is brilliant and your diet seems really healthy already but you just need to be careful incase you get carried away with losing weight, I used to binge eat but broke this cycle of negative thoughts and comfort eating with the help of a wonderful charity but sadly it had to close at the end of last year. I would like to meet Natalia as well especially after the affect she had on Clare the lady with PMT!

The one who seemed to be as high as a kite and would have collapsed if Amanda hadn't reacted so quickly and managed to catch her before she hit her head on the table.

It seems like you are doing really well considering all the health problems you and your family have (I do sometimes post on the health boards).

Good luck and best wishes x

Hopefully my mind detox will help my spelling as well as my physical health. Going out now but will be around later.

ahh thats a nice post morgansauntie and that you recalled some of me crazy stuff in health section !!!

Oohh Id be just like Amanda , falling all about the place , I get extreme reactions to things, so much so certain practioners wont treat me! May be Im candidate for spa illness 3 !!!!!! Although wouldnt be sure about the wheatgrass juice , despite my love of raw veges.

I also think my mind/body/spirit work has helped me balance my depression, (Ive done several progressive therapies and on waiting list for CBT in April), as Ive been pill free for over 2yrs now. Well done you on getting some balance too.

Still have some way to go though , I get really bad anger tantrums, again just like Amanda !!!!(and sooo not sympathetic to my spiritual work/thoughts , it can be awful , right red mist).

Dont worry about spelling, Im awful , have to use my google spell checker every post. now .

Great to talk to someone about all these aspects together.

Good luck to you too

Hope to speak again xx

Melsy Hi, this seems to be our own thread are we the only ones who have watched this programme? Saying that it is really nice to chat to you.

I understand wheatgrass tastes like your drinking new mown grass not sure I could stomach that. It sounds like you are doing some really fantastic things to help yourself.

I am catching up on an old series of SPA which uktvstyle have been showing in the early hours of sunday morning I've been recording it not staying up. I think they have already recorded a new series which is going to be shown in the summer.

I'm a firm believer in self-help and I find it rather empowering which is rather handy as the waiting list to see a psychologist for CBT in my area is a year. Last year I put my own experiences to good use and spent 9 months helping others, sadly the charity I was working as a volunteer for had to close. Now I've just started studying with the Open University.

Got to go my heatings broken and its freezing in this room.

Take Care and Speak Soon x

Sounds good , your volunteer work , sorry its closed, hopefully some more doors will open , ones you may not have thought of may be. Whats your OU course?

Im looking into what I can do voluntarily when Ive done reiki 2.

MIND in my area have a waiting list for CBT of 6mths now , Im down to 2mths ish now,(new government funding it seems). I was originally down in my borough for 2yrs for it from 2003 , but CBT wasnt available then. I finally got a psychologist (when 7mths pregnant with dd2 for ptsd) , and did EMDR , which I didnt like very much, but may be it helped progress me Im not sure.

Spa 1 was a good un too, great news on spa 3 , will have to look into that and google. I was tempted the other day to apply ,then thought no , not sure I want to giveaway who and what I am on tv !!! Although if no ones come to this thread then only a handful of us watch it in the UK !!!!

Weird Im putting off going to bed in my room , as the heatings broken in there , but this rooms all toasty.

Have a good night x

Melsy good morning I have been studying with O.U for the past 18 months and I'm just coming to the end of my third short course I just have my final assignment to write. The O.U do a series of 20 week courses called Openings which are designed to ease people back into studying and give them a taster of different subjects so far I have done Understanding Children, Understanding Society and I'm just finishing Starting with Psychology in May I'm moving up a level to do an Introduction to the Social Sciences.

I would love to do more voluntary work and I'm interested in mentoring children but I have a huge number of physical illness including 2 prolapsed discs, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia hopefully losing weight will help to stabilise these problems, as I wouldn't commit to working with children unless I knew I could on a regular basis. I am very much a people person kind,caring,compassionate and very good with children which is ironic given the following.

I do look after my nieces and nephew on a regular basis as I can not work and their parents all work full-time so I am very involved wth children.

Last night I was thinking about the mind/body/food connections and realised that for a number of years a lot of my experience with food were very negative. 10 years a go I was diagnosed with clinical depression, anxiety and a social phobia - I had a huge fear of people and social settings not the actual going out. During this time I could only drink out of a can/bottle or use a straw and food was limited to things I could pick up with my hands as I shook to much to use cutlery or a cup so I limited myself to fizzy drinks and junk food. Things were extremely stressful and caused huge arguements so I went round in a vicious circle. Luckily I'm now 90% better eating out is now something I enjoy perhaps to much . This turn around has been down to my hard work and determination and a wonderful and very patient Communty Psychiatric Nurse. Even now I still see a psychiatrist and take AD's but my depression is loads better.

I thought I would just tell you a bit about myself well rather a lot as it seems I know quiet a lot about you. You seem to be a real survivor given all your problems and I really do admire you, you could easily give up but you are willing to explore new avenues to help yourself.

I understand SPA is uktv's most popular homemade show but obviously not on mumsnet

Take care and have a nice day will be around later x.
