4 January bed 8.6 FBG 8. Still under the weather with this bug, my legs are bad, too, but that's normal when I have a bug. @Annb, my GP couldn't find my pulses in my feet, but the nurse poo poo'd that. She said my veins etc are so deep it's like mining to find anything. With the use of a sensor...

Behind again! We've been a bit off colour. Hubby had a repeat of norovirus again!! I managed to avoid it but had some non-specific bug lurking. Tuesday 2 January bed 8.2 FBG 7.8 B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with ox tongue and cheese & onion. Benecol dairy free. L. 3 M&S crackers with...

I did, but it changes back every so often. They know! [emoji51]

That's perfectly true. The response where we were was "with ither folks' coal." In later years, it always made me think that you would be prosperous in that case!

Just most of Scotland. Not so much now, unless like me, you were brought up with it. I always feel that my mum & Grandma are watching to make sure it's done.

Sunday 31 December bed 7.1 FBG 6. Hogmanay - and it will be quiet apart from the cleaning! B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with ox tongue and coleslaw. Benecol dairy free. L. 3 M&S cheese crackers with red Leicester & port salut (your cheese fest made me want cheese @Antje77 ) D. Campari...

Catch up time again! Saturday 30 December Bed 7.4 FBG 6.6. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with ox tongue and coleslaw. Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing. D. Hubby was feeling a bit "off" and didn't want much. I followed suit and had a slice of ox tongue, slices of ham, mini German sausage...

So sorry, @MrsA2. You can only do your best. I've been there, and you will get through it. Just remember you may need support, too, so take time to grieve - Hugs xx

The trick is not to tell them low carb, low sugar, or whatever. I've been feeding my lot cauliflower fried rice for a while, and they don't notice it. It looks like fried rice, and the tamari soy makes it taste like fried rice. There's a number of desserts that are also low in carbs and sugar...

Thursday 28 December - bed 7.5 FBG 6.7. I had to venture out today. Family were heading to the cinema to see Wonka & I wanted something, just no idea what. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with pate. Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing out and about. D. 3 egg omelette with bacon, tomato...

Today, Wednesday, 27 December, bed 7.7 FBG 5.7. B. TAG and a fry up of 4 mini chipolatas, 2 rashers of streaky, 4 santini tomatoes, fried egg, and a slice of Schlar GF toast. Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing D. Finally removed my sole and lobster tails from the freezer. Sole was done with...

Christmas Day - bed 7.2 FBG 6.3. Another very windy, wet day. B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with pate. Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing - way too busy. D. Campari and soda. A couple of glasses of very dry fizz with dinner, and a "Baileys" after (it was a large one). To start - monkfish...

Sunday 24 December - bed 7.3 FBG 6.8. Woke up to high winds again, then couldn't get back to sleep because my mind was buzzing with everything I had to do. B. TAG and 2 slices of grandson's GF bread with pate. Benecol dairy free. L. Nothing. I'd spent the rest of the morning cleaning while...

I agree with @Antje77. There's never a good time for bereavement, but Christmas does make it worse. Both my brothers were told they had weeks left just before Christmas time. I felt as if I'd never enjoy Christmas again. You get over it, though. It doesn't stop reminders creeping up on you...

Merry Christmas to you, too. The younger grandson is not too bad. Happy it's Christmas. They all managed to go to a friend's annual Christmas Charity party for a couple of hours today (with me as taxi!). It's not too far, and I tied the outward trip in with the journey to the butcher. The eldest...

Finally, today, Saturday 23 December - bed 7.8 FBG 7.2. Sainsburys did well with my order. No broccoli (but I got that nearby) and only one weird substitute (which went back). I ordered cranberries, they sent me Mint Sauce & Redcurrant Jelly! I got cranberries nearby too. Out early to the...

I didn't know there was a light version either. The trouble with Baileys, home made or otherwise, one is never enough.

Thursday 21 December - bed 7.7 FBG 6.1. Youngest grandson was very subdued this morning. It turned out at the "fun" night at the swimming club, some of the other kids were being mean to him and not letting him finish even one Aqua run on the inflatable course. Coaches didn't spot it as they...

The local store is fine. It's HO that's the issue. The service from the Oodie has been awful. I've not made my LC mince pies yet. It might be Boxing Day!

Sunday 17 December - bed 8.4 (hardly surprising) FBG 7.9 The saga of missing gifts continues. The many customers of The Oodie, awaiting orders from October/November, were told this morning that we won't all get our goods by Christmas. We can request a refund ( but by 8pm tonight). We can also...
