What a wonderful gelatinously sticky mental image!
Can we have a pic of that?!?
Actually, I have a rather sorry, sadly personal jelly tale to tell.
I've been putting off telling you all, because of its depressingly tragic nature...
Remember how, at the beginning of this thread, I said how I've been slurping jelly in regular, larger amounts than ever before?
Well, for the same period, I've been having a spot of insomnia. Actually, more like an acne breakout of insomnia. Every night, trouble going to sleep, eyelids like spring-loaded roller blinds, lying beside the lovely Mr B as he lies there like a starfish-shaped log, snoring like a wharthog (he knows this, we have discussed it, so I'm not talking behind his back).
Anyway, we ran out of jelly.
And that night, I slept like a baby.
With dawning horror, I have tested the hypothesis, and...
(cue violins)
...jelly stops me sleeping.
Ridiculously horrific, isn't it?
It must be the artificial colours, or sweeteners, or just some jolly jape by the heavenly choir, but the evidence is pretty damning.
@zand has one reaction to the additives (addiction), I have developed another (insomnia).
I haven't eaten jelly in a week, and I have slept well, every night.
