Not funny anymore

Day 3 of the tummy bug from hell and I have lost everything-

Lost my appetite for anything (even chocolate)
Lost 5Ibs in weight (this is good I guess)
Lost far too many hours on the toilet
Losing my will to live

I rang the NHS helpline to ask for advice on how to treat it - apparantly immodium can help but it only provides symptomatic relief, sounds reasonable if it means I can get out of the house for the haircut I have booked.

I was also told the most likely cause was a bug (which is apparantly unlikely being I am the only one in the house to suffer) or it could be stress-related. Given all the things I have to worry about at the moment I can believe the stress reason and I went on Amazon this morning and got myself a Yoga DVD - I have been meaning to do this for a while as it's meant to be very good for runners to do yoga for muscle tone as well as de-stressing. It arrives in 3 days apparantly, along with a few other purchases I couldn't resisit (well I allow myself a £50 a month spend on Amazon and I did get paid last week). I got the comic relief single by Tony Christie and Peter Kay "Is this the way to Amarillo" on DVD, the "Belle Du Jour" novel in hard back and the A-Team season 1 on DVD (I thought we had already established my sad taste in entertainment ok).

I'm now off to see if I can get some immodium and get my haircut.
