So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it standing up in the kitchen with the radio on.

I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing there. Then eight seconds. Then it was over and I felt faintly ridiculous.

Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on.

Kindly, to myself as well.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

Have you got someone to go with you? If not, several of us will be on the call on Sunday.
