Not nice

Anniebach can you get one of these for your iPad? rather than have it resting on your tummy?

Being a banana is not good for any of your organs or joints. Could you swap your sofa for a couple of chairs and put one facing the window? And you could get one of these to keep all your paraphernalia www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/armchair-organiser.

Or put an angled mirror on the wall to reflect the view from the window, like those they put on blind corners on the roads?

Impossible Elegran, one wall has tv in corner, double doors to hall and fireplace between. 2nd wall the window with faces the 3rd wall with door to kitchen and radiator , 4th wall my sofa and with other expenses now buying chairs is impossible . And the problem of having to hold the iPad instead of resting it on my tummy

Bananas are excellent food; however, does eating too many turn you into a banana shape?

Jalima, thank you for the link ,I have tried a tray but iPad too far away for me to see, I should have said resting just below my boobs on the top of my stomach.

I need to stop putting my feet up on the arm of the sofa, am thinking of some sort of back Rest so I sit more upright

I can’t rest my iPad on my tummy - it rolls off!

Don't want to nag (but I will) - I told DD off for resting her iPad on her stomach, it's better to have something in between you and it.

Nag nag nag

Re yoghurt. DiL couldn’t eat it when she was bad, but could eat goats yoghurt. She’d get the plain sort in a big tub so she could just have a spoonful at a time. With a few frozen strawberries or honey. Worth a try? Goats and sheeps cheese were more digestible too.

Or with a banana?

Not trying to be funny - I love plain yogurt with a banana and honey

I didn't know there was goats yoghurt, thank you Nfk, shall try it

I'm not sure what I am ? Maybe a spud ?

I sit on the sofa kind of doubled over with my knees bent and feet against my bum. Really comfy but I creak when I stand up .

Annie, I assume exactly the same position but with head to the right while reading or on my iPad and to the left when watching TV. My OH instructs me to "change ends" when he puts on a programme I would enjoy.
I was given a new fitness watch a few days ago. Coming back from a long day on my feet at work I "assumed the position", was given my dinner on a tray by my considerate partner and enjoyed a relaxing evening with my feet up. My first day read out on my fitness tracker says I slept for 14 hours! Absolute nonsense. I was in bed from 11 'till 8. Now I have to work out how to let the watch know I am awake!

How rude of the physio, and unreasonable ! I always sit as you describe and am not banana shaped. As long as your back is well supported and shoulders not rounded, with cushions under legs it's good for feet to be up like this( I hope ). Takes pressure off veins in legs.

I am apple shape. Would like to be Nigella shape especially since she’s lost weight.

Oh Anniebach...unfortunately I've never had a bum not even as a young woman... Whole female family line...flat bummed , so I never sit if I can help it( very uncomfortable). But standing and endless walking has kept me a trim 9st 12 ish ( variable) and I've got my family flat -bum to thank. Mmmmm... it doesn't look TOO bad in jeans though so that's my excuse for always wearing them! [ grin ]

I now have doubts about my physiotherapist, I asked her about my ,at times, wobbly balance, she said that's because you are not concentrating on walking , who walks around concentrating on their walking ?

Buy I-pad cushion...get them anywhere but Amazon cheapest!

A couch banana sounds much more elegant than a couch potato - rather sexy I thought !

iPad cushion ? Thank you Saggi, off to Amazon

I rather like couch banana tiredoldwoman, but in truth I have become a couch potato

I sit up with a small cusion behind my lower back. I either have my legs up on a stool or put me feet on it - if the latter I can put cushions on my lap to balance my ipad on, otherwise I am holding it with my left hand ( it is an ipad mini). But I admit I have a lot of shouldervproblems and a double chin ftom looking down.

I find I can't watch tv lying down on the sofa, I would have to lie on my side and the varificals don't work that way on!

Anniebach I have tried to concentrate more as I move around, having broken a limb last year through lack of concentration.

I think household accidents do happen when you're not concentrating.

Really Jalima? Now I feel unkind saying that about my physiotherapist, but do you mean think - left foot,right foot etc,

No, I do try to think before I move/drop an egg into hot fat/use an oven glove on hot pans etc and stop my mind floating away thinking philosophical thoughts!

or lean over on a wheeled chair to reach something and land unceremoniously on the floor underneath the chair.

Perhaps other people don't do things like that!

Silly me. Think too much going on in my pea brain.

I do try, Just looked on utube for exercises, loads and most done sitting on a chair , guess who hasn't a chair because no room in little bungalow for table and chairs, I give up
