Seriously bad up here. Started with sunshine and blue sky but boy did that change. Had to pick up SIL and hubby from the airport and it was so wild I had to go through town as the bypass was too exposed. Interesting drive avoiding trees, branches and flying debris. While stuck in traffic I checked on their flight and it was on approach 30 mins early (obviously caught one heck of a tail wind). Fought my way to the airport and even with the disabled badge I couldn't get parked. Was going to go in the multi storey but that's a minimum charge of £20 even if you're only in 5 mins. Was desperately trying SIL mobile leaving messages, texting.....never thought to recheck the flight! Pilot had a go at landing, didn't fancy it , aborted and diverted to Manchester. So they were in Manchester waiting to refuel for the pilot to have another go. About 20 on the plane didn t fancy it and got off having been told it was up to them to get home. I informed SIL winds were slowly dropping so by the time pilot got back should be better. Meantime I paid £10 for The privilege of doing circuits around the airport! Did the bypass going back, couldn't see for the spray but at least I didn't have to hang onto the car. 3 hrs later they eventually got back to Edinburgh and felt kissing the ground would be an idea when they got off!
4.6 ! No food.Good heavens what a nightmare! What was your bg after all that stress?
Oooo, I'll definately get some now, 2.5kg seems a bit small thoughThe Callebaut buttons are just 5.5g carbs per 100g. They are small so 15 buttons weighs about 10g
The only problem is the fact they come in a 2.5 Kg bag! I have tried hiding them in an awkward cupboard but they have magically repositioned themselves right at the front - so easy to just have a few when you’re passing.
Edit to correct weight
Thanks for that. I didn't notice that and I only lifted it tonight on the way back home.For anyone vaguely interested; In the latest Tesco freebie magazine, at the front is £1.50 off voucher for Breyer's ice cream. It's not for me, but them I'm probably just not normal (for Norfolk, or anywhere else).
I predict a run on Tesco magazines.
I take cauli rice with me if we go to our local Thai and they happily cook it for me To have. I keep meaning to ask how they stir fry it as it is brilliant.I love a curry, make one at least once per week. Coconut cream is a brilliant way of making cauli rice taste great!
4.6 ! No food.
I'll say!Every storm cloud has a silver lining then!
The like is for the ribeye and mention of Edward S. Sympathy re work - it still makes me guffaw when people ask if I miss work. Also, whilst I may be a tea drinking legend you sure cane those rollitos. Have to say the M and S ones with diabolo? were a smash hit with the P family but the Coop would be a step too far for me.Morning all. Wow, this thread moves fast! Absolutely exhausted yesterday - ended up in bed by 7.30 - so no time for the forum.
@ziggy_w and @DJC3 thanks for the good wishes. Work looks set to be crazy for the next few weeks. And good luck with the blood tests Ziggy.
@maglil55 sounds like a horrendous journey. Has been a bit windy here, but nothing like that.
@ianpspurs the reference to Sheringham doesn’t conjure up such pleasant images for me. It did remind me of a leaving present from one job when a thoughtful colleague with no football knowledge did internet research and made up a framed Arsenal songsheet. Hilariously she assumed that the special song about Sheringham with words that can’t be used on here was some kind of ironic expression of endearment!
Anyway to get on topic, yesterday’s exhaustion was coupled with extreme hunger.
Breakfast - 4 Coop chorizo and Gouda rollitos and 2 boiled eggs
Lunch - M&S Serrano ham and manchego cheese rollitos and a bag of pork crackling followed by a few squares of Montezuma’s Absolute Black with orange and cocoa nibs.
Dinner - ribeye steak with garlic butter followed by an enormous portion (well it was several smaller ones) of clotted cream and almond butter.
Also, whilst I may be a tea drinking legend you sure cane those rollitos.
Coop would be a step too far for me.
Put off forever by 3 separate cases of milk going off within 24 hrs despite long date. Not to mention loony pricesI love the Coop - its the only convenience store/ supermarket in this village so its just as well.
I judge places on their avocados and have to say the Coop’s are always spot on, never had a black, bruised one or a rock hard one.
Asda on the other hand! Won’t go in there now unless I’m desperate.

Does anyone know if you can make and cook fat head pizza dough in advance?
We’re going round to eldest grandaughter’s birthday tea this evening ( pizza) so I’m doing the fat head one for me and my daughter. It would be easier if I made the base here and cooked it for the initiall 10 mins then just finished it off round there - her oven will be full of everyone else’s pizzas so don’t want to get in the way too much.
