Gosh, you are all full of sympathy, thanks. So just to clarify, I don't actually HAVE to ask to go to the bathroom but I do have to log off the system and that is monitored. So its as easy to say to a supervisor that you are running to the bathroom rather than explain all the log offs later. And its harder to nip out and make some tea.
I'm heading into my winter slump, it doesn't normally happen until January but that's after a summer off, a nice holiday away and a few months looking forward to Christmas. Well I've had no summer off at all, no holiday and will only have the two days off for Christmas so no proper break. So right now I seem to be in a cycle of work, eat, sleep and that's it.

I know the feeling about the winter slump - it's the getting dark early thing that makes me feel oooph.
We were laughing in class that it was just too soon for soup days!

OK, so trying to put my positive head on today. I really do seem to have fallen into a slump and bad habits...no exercise, wine, sugar, crisps, chocolate. So easy to fall back into. I really do feel better when I have no sugar so my focus for next few fays is that, no sugar, no wine and some exercise. I had to drag myself out last night for a walk but thankfully got to go at my own pace ad Oscar decided to stay at home and play in the bath.
Another day is the classroom again, days like this seem to need cake and chocolate more. I have a large bar of Aero and a pack of cantucini in my drawer, I need to get rid of them quick.

Sorry you are struggling Tipp - I agree it's the cold weather and dark evenings do not help. Cut out that sugar you will feel much better/ Do you have a slow cooker you can just throw everything in for a stew / soup? I have cracked mine out this week, brilliant when you are feeling too lazy to cook (me most of the time 
).

Ah don't worry too much Tipp - focus on the positives - you didn't feel like walking but you did get out for one, and that's great.

Sorry, days just flying by. I've taken today off as my throat is sore and I can't stop sneezing. It feels more like hayfever than a cold but can't figure out what would cause this at this time of year. It could just be a cold or could be dust in the office.
Almost all of us newbies have fallen prey to a bug since starting, I reckon we just needed time to build up immunity to so many people.

So its Christmas list time in our house. Each year we write a list of things we would like, big and small, things you would like and tend not to buy for yourself. So far I've asked for a Paul Weller CD, a Tom Odell CD, two Prue Leigh books ( I ask for them every year but never get them, they've been reprinted now due to Bakeoff), a decent tablet for watching TV and photo editing and a hard drive. So, I'm looking for suggestions from you all for things to help with weight loss and exercise...any ideas at all.

Poo on the sore throat - if you're all getting it, sounds like dust in the office?
But what a fab Xmas list! What about an Instant pot, unless you have one already? You've got the slow cooker function plus the pressure cooker, can make soups, yogurt, etc.
