Bbug,

Thanks. It's not a silly-sounding idea at all, and I'll give it a try. What IS silly, really, is that I have an exercise bike and weights at home. The exercise bike is usually used as an extra surface for my boyfriend to dump books and papers on. When I was feeling okay, I used to work out every day in front of the television. Now it seems too much effort. What I can do, re your idea, is blackmail myself by saying that I get to watch a really good film every night, or every other night - so long as I am active while I am watching. That may work.

Glad the exercise makes you feel better.

Cheers,
Fionamck
