Very high, but having stress related psoriasis its no suprise.

All my stress is caused by women

Personally I wouldn't get stressed about it!

Excessive thirst can be connected to diabetes and therefore the needing to go to the toilet may also lead on from that.

Same goes for headaches.Most of mine are hormonal related or lack of sleep.

Insomnia isn't always about stress-it can be because someone keeps poking you awake for snoring or there is a particularly noisy pigeon nesting at the bottom of the garden.

Ah phooey to such questionnaires.

Scored 15. It's all pointless anyway

One of those huge chocolate covered ones from Greggs (nee Thurstons) Wish I had one, never mind one spare It's been a day worthy of a chocolate binge.

Its always a day worthy of a chocolate binge, have a rummage in the fridge, there's bound to be something there. I think I've got some yummy cream filled ones from Salisbury's in the freezer, but they'd take too long to defrost and I'd not even consider microwaving them, the carnage!

I got 19 out of 23 - and after the week I've had I can fully understand why.

Hmmm. Fridge contains a tub of marg, two onions, 4 pts of milk, bottle of mint sauce and a dodgy bottle of BBQ sauce. Freezer contains chips, bread, and peas. I have 3 tins of beans, 2 spaghetti, packet of smash, and 9 small tins of peas (dunno what I'm gonna do with them). Oh and a bag of pasta. I've just done the fortnightly food shop otherwise I wouldn't have much in at all I might have a mini toffee crisp kicking around somewhere It's been a week worthy of a chocolate binge...

Anyway. just taken it. Scored 1 out of 23, which was actually higher than I expected to (I don't get stressed easily, in fact my old Boss used to say he could tell that the s**t was really about to hit the fan when I did show signs of stress).
