Thanks to dahliablue for the heads-up. Am reposting for all those who had issues earlier.

Time to keep plugging for biomedical research into this disease ... www.investinme.org
Their conference is coming up soon.

Plus did anyone see that small piece on the Politics Show last Sunday? For those not in the UK, it featured a girl with ME who was studying but didn't qualify for any benefits because she wasn't deemed 'ill enough'. She went to Parliament to sit in on their working committee about ME and ended up speaking out, much to the amazement of the politicking gnomes all sat around discussing the 'issue' in safe isolation from anyone who actually has the disease.

Her name is Sam Brown, she is 24 and a journalism student. If you go to the BBC I-player site you can watch a repeat of it. It's right at the end so scroll along past the 1 hour marker and you should find it.

True Sam didn't 'look ill', well not to the untrained eye, but to those of us in the know her palour and vacant look were all too familiar. Oh and her hair. The hair said it all...

You know how it goes, when you're struggling just to be able to get up and go wherever you have to be, finding the energy to lift your hands above your head to fix the do just isn't possible. As someone who has spent the last 22 years whacking herself on the head whenever she uses a hairdryer (which may account for some cumulative cognitive dysfunction by now!), I could totally relate.
Go here to watch, (but don't forget to scroll past the hour marker).

ETA For those outside the UK, it's on UK YouTube clicky here

I don't have much to survive to be honest. As my Christmas only ever involves a total of 3 people.

The blue skywing (second to last) is getting a bit desperate with less than a day to grow up!
I know, I am a terrible mother!

All clicks gratefully received!

I managed to pick up another 2 eggs to add to my collection of now grown dragons. All clicks gratefully and thankfully appreciated.
My scroll is here for those who want to see what I've accumulated so far :)

I'm desperately trying to make my last deadline. I have one day to finish the troublesome essay on deep brain stimulation of the hypothalamus. Then I have to put all my work together (3 essays and an experimental report) make three copies of everything and smail mail it to them for the final assessment. It's going to be such a heavy package and cost a fortune to post (which I am a bit miffed about because the money has to come out of my own pocket.

Anyways up, wish me luck!!

So this is the little pink egg I didn't realise I had, so she's a bit behind in her development and in need of clicks!


Thanks for clicking on my others they've all grown up now. I wonder what it means that I have all females?
Here's the scroll for those who want to look at them http://dragcave.net/user/martike

Sorry if this bores a few people but I am curious to know whether or not this works...

What is happening to the weather?
Seriously.

I woke up at 10am and thought it was still night. I had to turn on the lights to be able to see where I was going down the stairs.

And it's cold. I'm sitting here in bed in need of putting the electric blanket on and my shoulders are freezing.

It AUGUST!! This is supposed to be summer!
