You really have come such a long way in so short a space of time. An inspiration to us all. <img src="http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> I've definitely over exercised today - as it's only a Sunday service couldn't afford to miss the bus when I went shopping today. Had to do a geriatric sprint to the bus stop and boy are my ankle and hips playing up now. I feel about 90 years old. Think that I'll stick to finger exercises for a while it's safer! <img src="http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> Truddles Anonymous on "Exercise routine" http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/exercise-routine#post-36375 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:43:16 +0000 Anonymous 36375@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ Hi Exercise over Escalator up . . . . Escalator down 4 times in all. The first time I have done this in years. Terrifying the first time but it got easier each time. Roll on the conference. I will learn to love underground stations.

Just think of the days when you didn't even need to plug in the phone BT or rather the GPO used to do it for you. Technology is marvellous until it either defeats you or it goes wrong. Good luck with your new toy.

I am now totally exhausted. I should have stuck to the gym.

You need a PhD in gobbledygook to understand the instructions as they are more complicated than flat pack furniture instructions. I have got the date and time right and a lovely Beethoven ringtone - but I can't get the answerphone to work properly. I am not sure if the phone is working as no-one has phoned me. You try ringing on your mobile and trying to answer the call on your landline. As I can't throw voices it is simply impossible. The only good thing is that I now have plenty of numbers to fill the address book as a result of the new friends I have made. The question is how to fill it - as I have never done this on my landline before. I finally gave up and watched 'Curious George' on the TV instead. The Radio Times said it was only suitable for those under 7 years old. I enjoyed it so much maybe I should call a seven year old around to my house to programme the phone. To top it all I have not lost an ounce of weight as a result of this strenuous exercise. In fact I got so anxious I have eaten a box of chocolates in the process.

Unfortunately unlike us they will always be like that unless of course they come up with a new way of getting them to work. Your keyboard is called 'Genius' because as you know most people with OCD are intelligent caring individuals plus as well as the OCD he might have dyslexia so a little patience is required. Perhaps as part of his OCD your keyboard is seeking reassurance from you, don't play to his fears but give him plenty of encouragement when he manages to do things right. Like us he can't help it.

If you're over 30, you might want to take it easy at first, then do it faster as you become more proficient. It may be too strenuous for some. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise programme! SCROLL DOWN... . . . . . . . . . . . Don't stop . . . . . . . . . . Keep going . . . . . . . NOW SCROLL UP.. NOW BACK UP AND DOWN AGAIN. . . . . . . That's enough for the first day. Great job. Don’t want to overdo it!
