Hi Saffy,
That would be great if she had some ideas to help us, I read somewhere that opiates can strip your body of postassium and apparently our bodies need potassium to help our nerve endings work (catch22huh?), I don't know if this is true. What else might be good for energy apart from ginseng, the opiates again love to make me sleepy and I have a full-time job (well it will be full-time again in a while)
As for the prunes Mark... seriously noooooo

, it brings back awful memories of childhood, tinned prunes with custard and if we ate them my granny was give us a nice reward! I like apricots with my weetabix and porridge in the morning, but unfortunately they're not enough but i take the movical sachets.
Later alligators.... Silence of the Lambs is on tv and I haven't seen it in years, I can't believe how awful the fashion was in the 80's
