    Do I take it the "winner" that is in the title is an extension of the affected typing style which produced "inneresting"? If so please, please FOAD.

    Another sockpuppet which is about as believable as Danny La Rue.

    Oh to see the sun again!

    The missus has a daylight lamp thing, really really bright, I guess one of those lightboxes you refer to. Supposed real medical benefits of exposure to "outside-strength" light.

    She also has a dawn lamp which is a regular bulb that simulates walking up gradually as the sun shines into the room.

    Make sure you go outside even when it's grey though, one of the worst things is when your commute means you are never outside during daylight hours.

    Tired, headachy, weak, bitter taste in my mouth. All very non-specific but I generally feel blooarghhh...

    Anyone else? Reckon it's the time of year. I seem to get it worse every year.

    Perhaps I'll invest in one of those lightoxes. Better still, 2 weeks in the Caymans....sigh...
