Also, relax (something my body finds almost impossible)...find some lavender oil, as I have found that relaxs me...if you can abide camomile have some tea. I wanted to try yoga, but my joints become so painful sometimes, I don't know if its worth it.

I'm in deepest Loughborough doing geography.

Hi and welcome back to the mad zone.

Alopecia = baldness. I used to have no hair anywhere, from my head to my legs, didn't do much for self confidence. However, recently with my move and relaxing (& other private stuff), my hair is growing everywhere...I just need to relax more (as my doc said today, it isn't doing my heart good living on my nerves).

I have had alopecia for over 15 years, so any questions just ask

My boyfriend has been allowing my geekyness to reach new levels, I have been reading comics...very good stress relief! I also recently read good omens, funny but dark.

I have decided to retake up photography after xmas, so come on those January sales (doing my research now as to what camera I want). All the best for the concert Nimrod81, I am listening to spoof xmas songs this year, no carols here.

Is it just my department, or is everyone else finding it hard to get any work whatsoever done today, half my office didn't turn up, and the other half were gone by 2!

We have one in our deptartment that expects everyone else (especially one of his colleagues) to pay for him or serve him...from a pint of beer to serving him food on a field trip. My friend who has him as her supervisor is extremely fustrated by his non-comitalness.

I got the muppets on dvd (need to buy a kazoo or two), a new throw for my flat, and lots of gummies (I can't eat choc)!

Thanks everyone

I haven't run a marathon, but walking too much whilst over tired almost caused me to collapse last week, I don't think it's a good idea. Also, have bad asthma, so maybe not.

Cheers. Anyone around Lufbra that wants to meet for drinks!?

Big hug alla. Do you not have a postgrad tutor or director of research that you can speak to? How can they expect you to cope with that load of buzzcocks.

I have finally made it to the 2 and 8 (didn't think I would), however now thinking I will be 3 and 0 in two years, and what ambitions/things I should do. Any suggestions welcome (to do a PhD was on it).


So far I have:
1. Learn to ride a bike (just your regular peddler)
2. Zipwire in Newquay: http://www.adventure-centre.org/zipwire.htm
