Whoa! Facing a personal trainer at 0530 is only for the brave! They breed 'em tough in those Welsh valleys---well done, Madame Dragon 

Enjoy the virtuous feeling of working, Spence! We all admire you 
XB, great that you're back on form 
Oh Tubs, it must be SO frustrating (not to mention expensive!). WHY can't they find the right prescription for your eyes? I know you have a complex condition, but surely they should be able to find out what magnification and all that you need???
Bit snoozy as lots of sms'ing with C1 during the night. She had a tube down into her stomach for 24 hours that was truly hideous---took 5 people including the registrat to get it into place, ugh!!---but happily it's out now and they are pleased with her progress.

They said she's in good spirits and doing well. Hooray!!!!
