[QUOTE="geefull, post: 2120712, member: 305199"] good morning all :) not great on the wi-fi whilst we were away so ... Monday 4.3, Tues 4.2, Weds 4.4, Thurs 4.3, Fri 4.4, Sat 4.4 ... and 4.4 today :) Back home now so I expect the menu will return to the usual fare :D Whilst away I ate a whopping full English every morning, seldom needed lunch and then had an eclectic set of evening meals :hilarious: The hotel we stay in when we go to visit family is conveniently situated, spotlessly clean and spacious with good facilities but not posh, it's an hotel often used by journeymen who have to work away from home during the week so they do provide a range of basic (very carby) choices of evening meal but will allow you to take food/order takeaway in ;) which is ideal for us. Couple of evening meals that were big salad plates with cheese or meat we made up ourselves in the hotel. Couple of times we ate out at a carvery (decent meat choice and unlimited veg :D) one evening we ate at my brother's and his wife cooked , homemade lasagna (sigh) and homemade cheesecake. I volunteered to take along salad to go with the lasagna and only had a small portion of lasagna and loads of salad. I very bravely passed on the cheesecake which was served with fresh strawberries and spray cream :angelic: just had a few strawberries. Best takeaway was an extra meat chicken kebab served with naan, I asked for 'no bread' and when we opened it there was a huge portion of chicken and they had put some chips in with it :hilarious: it also came with loads of fresh side salad so mr. gee had some chips and we both had a spicy chcken and salad dinner, they asked about me about wanting a soft drink but I declined, he said 'take it, it's included in the price' so I got a can of diet coke too. Total price was under £5.00, a benefit of town living I suppose ;) Sister in law has now been diagnosed with T2D but works for the NHS so is following their advice :banghead: Brother in law was diagnosed T2D almost 10 years ago and eats more or less as he wants and takes the tablets :banghead::banghead: Neither my brother nor my sister have been diagnosed (yet) but are heading for the same body shape I was before diagnosis. Of my generation I'm the slimmest of the lot by far now. Depressing really:sorry: Looking forward to working my way through the thread and catching up on everyone :) Hope your day treats you kindly:) [/QUOTE]
