6.6 this morning. But then, I didn't sleep, and don't feel, very well. Only tired, I think. Hope. Maybe a shower will wake me up.

I must declutter much of my wardrobe as the seasons change, and I need to think what I'm going to pack when we go away in ten days' time. I hate decluttering! I also need to throw out those summer tops I haven't really worn this summer; as i have lost weight, some of them swim on me and don't...

I didn't know people with diabetes couldn't use Bazooka! I wonder why that is. Fortunately it was my husband who had the verruca, not me..... Anyway, as suggested above, see if you can have a phone consultation with your local health centre.

I think I was fortunate that we'd arranged to go down to my mother's the week after my husband damaged himself, so he had very little to do besides recover! I was still a little shaky after my operation the same week, so my poor mother, then aged 97, had to look after us both for a couple of...

My mother made - I expect she still does when my sister lets her in the kitchen - fish paste with leftover salmon or trout, cream cheese and a tiny scrap of tomato paste for colouring. Plus seasoning, of course. She always said it was trout paté, and used to get very offended if we called it...

Oh dear, oh dear - 75.75 this week. It's going in quite the wrong direction, and I was so nearly no longer overweight! Don't know what has gone wrong!

Hello, and welcome!

I, too, have lost 10 or even 11 kg since January, when I started to weigh myself regularly, and probably 5 or 6 kg before that! Semaglutide FTW, as they say! And it keeps my blood sugar steady, and the idea is to find out whether it will protect me from having a heart attack or a stroke. I...

Has he damaged himself badly, or is it mostly shock and bruising, as it was for my husband? He had broken his nose, which was rather horrid, but it seems all right now.

Discovered my sunflower seeds had been invaded by the pantry moths, and were no longer edible. I have put up a pheromone trap and it attracts them within minutes - needs another clean one, I think. Haven't been out today, other than a quick dash to Lidl, who had what they described as a...

Dark chocolate with nuts is very good! Lidl do a super one. Cheese is also great, but I have to be careful with it as I have high cholesterol. Also nuts. And if you can keep your food treats to occasional, then "anything goes"!

Congratulations! Hope all goes well with and for you.

Maybe you could do that dish where you wrap the cooked whole leeks in ham, cover with a Bechamel sauce, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for 20 minutes or so. Hmm, might do that tomorrow night. Tonight will be leftover meatloaf baked into aubergine (thanks, @MrsA2). Just had overnight oats...

6.1 this morning! What's the why of that, I wonder? Ate much better yesterday. Although I've been awake for ages, and was late to bed, so there is that....

Thanks! If I make it tomorrow - which I probably will (especially if I make my own tomato sauce as I only bought a small jar on Tuesday!), it'll have leftover meatloaf in the middle. For today, I had overnight oats for breakfast, with the end of the milled flaxseeds. I really do prefer chia...
