    senokot duel relief

    TMI maybe :sign0007: I've also noticed I need to wee loads more as well!! Also, (this is the TMI bit!!) I put a chicken or veg stock cube in just about anything I cook. Gives it a bit more flavour!! I went to the loo the other day, and my wee smelt of chicken stock cubes :eek: :ashamed0005:
