Apologies for the lack of a reply - I forgot I'd posted here! As for what I do for a living - I've just got an active family - I'm a student at the current time! As for the flight to Newcastle (the flight I did on the Monday), no issue with that. However, it always seems to be on the flight back when I'm desperate to go, much to my chargrin! I try to limit the amount of liquid that I have, and use the toilet where possible at the gate, just before we board. But tried to go on the flight home back to Stansted - couldn't go. Luckily it was only a 45 min flight, so held it in and told myself to relax once in the cubicle at the airport itself - I did, and relief ensued. I don't think it's helped by the fact that my mum always comments on the fact that I use toilets a lot at airports (to avoid the situation described above), and also that it was the front toilet, so I got the feeling that I was being watched (as I think others do from here, from what I've read)... Anyway, no flights for a while. Interesting, I can pee on trains perfectly fine, just not planes... 'Tis a bugger. Thanks for all the support and kind words you've given me - I'll definitely visit here more often from now on, to get tips and the like! Joe.
