    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    That's great news Val, bet you're very relieved and well done for not taking dr advice and reaching for the tablets instead.

    Did you know that you can buy a SAD light VAT free if it is for your own personal use and used in a domestic setting? x:-)

    did not know that but was on offer anyway depresion is a strange beast did look at that site and ticked nearly all the boxs this time if year does not suit me especialy when you have not managed to get much sun in the summer. did not realise the craving for sweet things was part of it till read the site.
    it closer to sun lite than normal light but was shocked how quick it works val
