I'm feeling better today . I just get down over the winter months , and like I said some good news would be real boost

Glad you're feeling a bit better today, Emma.
We invested in a "SAD" lamp and  swear it works - if nothing else, it makes it easier to read the paper on a dark  winter morning!

Which SAD light did you get, Maggi? Can you give me a link to it on a website? I'm surrounded by people here who suffer from SAD and it makes me sad

I bought myself a artificial christmas tree today, fed up listening to my hubby moan about standing in needles. Well, my moan is after taking two hours to put this tree up he comes in a says its in the wrong place. I won't type what I had to say to him but if he wants it moved he can do it himself. Ok moan over.  I am happy with my tree.

Emma glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Thanks Maggi. There are other cheaper makes around but the recommendation on the SAD websites is to go for a more expensive one from a well know manufacturer so I think I'll go with this one. Or their desk lamp version. Was prompted by news from my son at university in Liverpool (who gets SAD along with my wife Ivi) that he recently found one of his student housemates (who also gets SAD, amongst other problems) unconscious with his wrists cut!

I have a SAD lamp, but haven't been using it ......so my own fault !

Had my light box on for two days and am feeling better

You may remember my moan about our worry for our great-niece who was diagnosed with mutlipe malignat tumous in her kidneys ?

 Good news - she's been given the all clear after major surgery and a LOT of chemotherapy.

 Hurrah!

Good news indeed. I can echo all the good wishes everyone is giving.
