I am having an unhelpfully bad stomach day. I haven't got a lot done; I have bought food, which is handy, and done a fair amount of laundry, and checked when Clearing starts properly (vacancies are advertised from 18th August). I think tonight's jobs will be more laundry, cooking tasty supper, printing and reading Bladelands information, and tracking down my list of job websites.
Oh, the pain, the discomfort, the running up and down the stairs! I do hate this condition. I wish I could work out how to manage it better. I suspect a trip to the doctor is in order - one in which I am very firm about needing some serious support.

Hope some of this is helpful!

If only I could stand peppermint! :)

The book is great though. It can really help you to pinpoint unexpected things which might be triggering you, and the same sort of diet also works marvellously well for PMS, if you happen to suffer from that as well. Plus it's reassuring to be able to read through it and think, "Oh! I thought that was just me!"
