Extended edition contains a bit more "Dwarfs do Rivendell"... which, lets just say, that which has been seen can not be unseen.

I'm fine, no sniffles here just yet. Everything ok with you? Have they caught  missus woman yet?

Saw online that she has been found but don't whether she's in hospital or not.

I'm going to instruct solicitors to put in my complaint for me as I'm kind of worn out.

However on to better things... Are you looking forward to Christmas? Any presents bought yet?

Good that she's been caught, hopefully she'll stay caught this time.

I have stuffs bought, still a couple more things to go. I think maybe amazon will help. You sorted?

About to start. Yeah Amazon is handy. They've got a new thing called Collect Plus. A local store will hold Amazon parcels for you  Luckily my Borther's nearest is Centra about 130 metres away  No more delivery blues [hopefully].

What did we do before Amazon? Shopping is horrible.

Ireland beat Latvia 3-0 last night!!!

 Martin O'Neill is working his magic already *happy dances*

Yay! Excellent work!

Ta... it'll be all downhill from here 

Scotland drew didn't they? Not a bad result, the USA are ok  

We did ok. *nods* Rugby, not so much... but that was South Africa, so you know. XD

Ah yeah... good team *nods*

How are your migraines? Will they send you for any more tests about your peripheral vision? Best to have it checked out. 

I have passed my retake with flying colours. I haven't been to the doctor yet about the migraines, with this overtime I don't know when I'll get the chance.

Anyhow, how are you?

Thats good news about the retake. Migraines must be awful though - do painkillers work at all? 

Ahh I'm ok ta. Enjoying my the CBT course and ebooks and even been listening to relaxation mps   

I don't take pain medication, 4head and hot water bottles are my go to. I have a sensitive gag reflex you see... can't put a pill in my mouth, can't even chew gum for very long.

Relaxing mp3s? Whale noises type thing? Or just nice music? Is the CBT working then?

Really? maybe its just as well, too many pain meds are bad for you.

I have two short [3-4 mins] mp3s of a male psychotherapist telling you to sit back comfortably and then goes through your limbs, neck, fingers etc saying the tension is unwinding etc... and then to imagine a happy scene, and bring it to mind when you feel stressed etc.

There's another longer hypnotherapy recording which takes you to a desert island with a steel band playing etc  That one is fun. It gets you to slow your breathing down etc. His Belfast accent may be offputting to some though. Here he is:

Yes the CBT is working well so far, thanks 

I could never relax with those visualisation tapes. I've not got the patience. XD

Forgot to say... well done to Scotland for beating Norway 

Thank you. Can't believe it.

Good result that  

...Ireland still haven't lost under Martin O'Neil [0-0 draw with Poland]. Even though we were dire !  

Still early doors. Things will get better... the MO magic shall grow!

Freezing up here, how's it down there?

Oooh please let that happen

Its not so bad here. I had the window open today. Cold doesn't bother me though - heat does. Hated this Summer
