Day three and I am finding it difficult to keep to 50mph - especially on the M25. I don't usually drive much but Dad is in hospital and so I've been visiting. Had a dig around the freezer last night - amazing what you find! I've got lots of beans and peas from last year that I'd forgotten about and ...

It's me again - I am SO SORRY - I only saw the first page of posts and have now read the other 3!

Take care

Hi I use one from the SAD Lightbox co. Works for me after about 4 days from the first use. I usually put it on in October. It seems to give me more energy than without as well as lifting my mood. I have it at my desk and put it on when I'm looking at emails etc. I find I can use it up to 7.00pm but ...

HI Ruby I noticed a reply you posted: Be very carefull when using carpets as the dyes in them could be harmful, might be better using old sacking maybe? babs Oo.. I'd never thought of that - thank you! As luck would have it I've not got any carpet so have been collecting cardboard to use instead. I...
