Former Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer, and probably the last of the Labour Party's "big beasts," Dennis Healey has died at the age of 98. He will have been part of our life for all on this board for what seemed to be an eternity and his policies, rightly or wrongly, influenced us all. I will leave it to others to pass…
A conversation at work yesterday made me wonder. I'd had a sneeze threaten and we said how difficult it was to drive and try and stop yourself sneezing as you automatically shut your eyes for a few seconds. My colleague said when she was at school word went round that if you sneezed and didn't shut your eyes, your eyes…
I didn't lose any weight this last week. I didn't put any on though so it could have been worse! As per usual I'll plod on. I so badly need to see that first figure change and to know I'm only 3.5lbs away from doing this is so frustrating. Oh, did any of you happen to see the bus that has, within the last 24 or so hours,…

With the double bonus of…

Tuesday to different hospital for blood test to see if my blood salt levels have come back up so that I can go back on my water tablet. 3. Friday I have doctors to see results of blood test and…
The fan on my laptop keeps coming on and off. It's either that or it's trying to read a non existent disc in the disc drawer. Doesn't sound well.
