My eyes weren't blurry at all. Do take sunglasses though, I was ok with my reactolight specs (the outside world was very bright).

Welcome to the forum too :)

I read the notice about not driving so I cycled. It was further than I normally cycle and it was bright on the way home. The idea of sunglasses is most defiantly a good idea, if you do drive your insurance may not be valid if they have advised you not to drive. Take care

6.0 today, a relection of my night out at a new bar on Saturday. The bar was serving bottles of prosecco for under £15. The fault lies with them ;)

Today I had a lovely breakfast in Sainsbury's. Nothing is 100% low carb so I always end up swapping items. It is such a faff. I was 5 minutes deciding. So I've taken it upon myself to write a little card suggesting a low carb option. No toast no hash browns, no beans as they crop up on so many options. I end up picking and paying for separate items. Today it came to over £6. Then a pot of tea on top of that (not literally haha). Halumi, bacon, x 2, eggs fried x 2, large mushroom, sausage x 1. It was delicious. Anyway it's worth a shot!

Morning...woke to a 6.1...could it have been anything to do with the large Cadburys buttons I ate on the way to bed last night...only had a couple (6 TBH oops)...sending the rest to my good neighbour later...it's not safe to have them in the house...blast Joseph Cadbury!

Six is the minimum number of buttons humanly possible to eat @Bubbsie you should be proud of your heroic restraint, full bag for me everytime.

At the bottom of a person's post there is a row of little icons/emojis (thumbs up, check/tick, laughing face, etc.). Hover over each and it will say what it means and then you can just click to pick. The thumbs-up one is LIKE.

Prosecco at just £15 is wicked! Breakfast sounded good :)
