I’d forgotten about the bacon wrapped Halloumi, thanks for a tasty looking reminder.

That is perplexing and annoying for you. It would be great if it wasnt eggs but you do want to find out what the culprit is. Think about the hours before the itch to see if there is any clue. Allergies are so strange. My son’s GF discovered she is allergic to their (first). Christmas tree. While installing and decorating it both hands came up in red spots. As long as she doesn't actually touch it she’s fine. Really hope you can get to the bottom of it!My arm is itching like mad, can’t be an egg allergy I don’t think now, so back to the drawing board for me. Pleased and cross in equal measure.
Here's the link. They do a good range of LC stuff.Oooh thanks @maglil55
The porridge definitely came from Amazon, but the product and maybe even the seller has disappeared.
However, Mr B loves apples, so your Avidlite one may just do the trick - off to check it out now.

It's a tough time of year. I lost 6 family members last year including a brother and a sister and the first Christmas is always the worst. Like you there are a lot of us and we overcame the issue last year by going out 2 days before Christmas. We had a private dining room as we were so many which meant the little ones could play and we could chat and remember. It was also nice to have someone else do the cooking and cleaning. Christmas Day was just a quiet, peaceful day. Hugs xx you'll pull through it in your own way. Flowers are gorgeous by the way. I miss the colour in the garden here at this time of year. It's a bit sparse.Sorry been behind in posting so slowly trying to catch up with posts.
Being on prednisone and I've been trying to stay LCHF even when I am my BSL still spikes 4 to 5 hours after eating to 10 or 13 mmol/L. So I've rang my diabetic clinic again on Friday morning and was told someone will call back its now Monday night and no call. I try to control my hunger but its also been hard especially in the afternoon when my BSL is high im not sure why that is can high BSL make you more hungry? But I'm getting annoyed as no one rang back. So I'm thinking might increase my medication dose myself I've got about another 4 more weeks of tappering my dose of steroids but im concerned about my high BSL one night about 2 hours before bed it reached 20 mmol/L surprisingly my morning BSL are between 5 or 6 mmol/L.
I'm eating eggs scrambled sometimes a sausage with them. Today I slept in till 12.30pm i wasn't feeling so well my BSL was 6mmol/L I ate a banana and left over scramble eggs from 2 breakfasts ago. Dinner I made hamburgers with the works I was ravished I ate it on a low carb bun. Then had some cream with mangoes I figured fruit is probably better then eating chips chocolates etc but I'm still eating more than I need as im always hungry from the prednisone or BSL being high...
So How am I going well I'm doing ok still have my days. Only find out today that we are having Christmas at my mums place but I'm not sure who will be going. Normally at Christmas all my family goes to either my mums or my sister place who died recently. I'm from a large family there are over 35 of us I've actually lost count how many lol..but I'm not sure who is going to be going this year. I think its going to be a tough Christmas for all of us. And as I am writing this I've started crying sorry not looking for sympathy just needed to post this. But I'm ok so. It's just tears of emotions sadness and happinest mixed all together
So What have I been up to Since being home from hospital I've done little as possible I've mainly been recorporating resting cooking some meals and I've been binge watching a lot of Christmas movies for therapy haha as well. As dorky as some of these movies are they can help give you that warm hug feeling that you some times need.
Oh these are some of my flowers I have more photos but just selected a few photos of some I'm growing in my garden and a bunch of flowers a friend sent me. I hope you enjoy the photos of the flowers and cheer you all like they do me.
My garden
Flowers how they grow smiling at the world colours so radiant they brighten your day.
Thanks for reading enjoy my lovely garden

I'm with you on Quality Street. That and Roses at Christmas was a bit of a tradition. To counteract I'm making a chocolate fudge to serve with coffee and I'm going to make some of it minty too. I'll post the recipe later as I've been trawling through my recipes to adapt for Christmas Day and I'm working out the adapted versions. I've also adapted another Gino recipe from his latest book. It's a chocolate dessert, very fudge like and packed with nuts but I'm adding some dehydrated raspberries and cranberries to it as well (son did the dehydration for me). I'll hopefully post them later as I have to get out to pick up the last Christmas presents.@Chook I envy you being so organised for the 25th. I will have a lot done by the end of Thursday. Our sons arriving home on Friday but I have an eye injection so supper will be a takeaway. I am hoping to get to the shops over the weekend to finish food shopping.
I will continue to test FBG each day and will be careful but will have a little stuffing and a roastie on my plate. I might have a dessertspoon of Christmas pud if I feel like it. I might have a little dark chocolate but will swerve the Quality Street because if I have one I have six! We actually have one meal at 5pm and during the day have various h/m canapes and fizz which is fairly lc if I dont overdo it. Enjoy your Christmas and hopefully no hypos or surges!
I watched the Bishop's Wife yesterday (the original with David Niven). Loved that movie. Dudley the angel. I could do with the ever full drink bottle as well!Hi I think you are trying your best with the challenges the meds cause you. Its not easy when the clinic didnt get back to you. Maybe you should try them again. I am sorry about your loss, around many gatherings there will be someone missing this year but they will be very much there in your heart. I am glad you are able to distract yourself with Christmas movies. The Grinch is our fave. The flowers in your garden are beautiful they must give you so much pleasure. Take care of yourself, it will take time.

Oh ok don't have an airfryer but maybe I can do them in my electric oven it has a fan force option so might give it a go. ThanksI’ve been doing them in the air fryer - about 20 mins on 200c. Sure you could fry them - you can certainly fry bacon and Halloumi separately so no reason why not together. Trick is to get the bacon and outside of the Halloumi nice and crisp and keep the inside of the Halloumi soft.
