Feeling old in the mornings.

A quick diversion - how do you get jammy dodgers in these comments? I can't see any down below. And when I say down below I am not being cheeky.

How many electrolytes in a jammy dodger?

You have to eat at least three.....

I have already eaten 6 large chocolate buttons tonight Loopylou don't encourage me.

Only 6?! That's real restraint in my eyes

Only 6 I have been known to eat a whole bag of the big chocolate buttons.

Interesting points about drinking water. I never drink pure water only lots of tea and some coffee. I find coffee gives me an instant lift physically and mentally.

Last night I did drink a glass of water and I don't know if it was my imagination but I did feel better. I don't like water on its own for some reason and never have but I'm going to try and drink a glass a day and see what happens.

Regarding the point about milk. I have Goat's Milk and Rice Milk mostly. Wonder if that has the same effect as cows' milk.

Are tissue salts the same as Homeopathic remedies. I will have a look on line. I guess Holland and Barrett do them or maybe Tesco which is my nearest big supermarket.

Hooray I have taught myself how to get a jammy dodger in my post.



I like a nice glass of cool water with a slice of lemon. I chop up a whole lemon and keep the pieces in the freezer and pop one in the glass as you do an ice cube.

The not needing a pee thing must take practice, loopylou. We were instructed to drink one and a half litres of water during a one hour walk near Ayres Rock. I had to resort to running off the path for a world record quick pee behind a rock, heart pounding away at the thought of the native critters eyeing up my bits. OH, ineffectually placed to hide my modesty from the other walkers, piped up with "Well there goes the fragile eco system".

Perhaps you should look at this old thread :- www.gransnet.com/forums/chat/a1201779-Shewee

I think the less mobile we get , the more stiff/achy we become, I have started taking a high dose Cod Liver Oil capsule (more like trying to swallow a bullet)! but then I have just finished three weeks solid decorating (stretching with the roller, ceilings/walls etc) when I actually look at the movement of rollering, it is almost like a form of exercise and I must say I think it has helped, I have also chosen certain tracks of music and put the CD on and dance and stretch (just remember to lock the door and close the curtains first
I'm trying to refrain from the Jammy Dodgers as I know I will eat the whole packet! Off for a power walk later..(may have to get the bus back)

Thanks for the link, pompa. I'm going for the Shewee Extreme, with funnel and extension pipe, in Power Pink.

Pleased I could help. Power Pink, Subtle

*loopylou+ 5-6 litres - about 10 pints is too much if you need that everyday. Sounds like onset diabetes. Drink when you feel thirsty,and if you are not eating too much salt then that's all you need.
Tea and coffee and milch count as liquids even though they are cheap.

It was only on the days we were walking in the heat, at high altitudes and certainly not in everyday life!

I definitely don't have onset diabetes MargaretX, and normally I guess I drink about two/three litres a day?

I get migraines if I don't drink enough so I am always conscious of my fluid intake, unfortunately waiting until I feel thirsty is often too late.

Checking the colour of your urine is an easy way to check- should be pale straw colour (sorry if too much info!)

How do you do that? Wee in a clear plastic pot?
Not that easy...how often are you supposed to check, anyway?
