I glanced at the pack of Choc & orange Hot X Buns and one bun is the amount of carbs I aim to eat in a day! No way! Thats more than two whole bars of Lindt 90!
I absolutely agree - no way would I eat a hot cross bun - much rather the lindt 90. I can only eat 2 squares at one time but in the past would easily have eaten 2 hot cross buns. Husband bought the hot x buns and he has just eaten 2 - one wasn't enough!

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen, may you all ( but not politicians ) have a great day of rest and relaxation while stuck on Britain's new car parks called motorways.

A surprising 7.5 greeted me this morning so I drowned the little blighter in koffy hehehe.
Today I shall continue my quest to complete some outstanding woodworking projects while not naked sunbathing, but if you feel the need feel free. Enjoy your day avoid the media.
My mates chaos and mayhem are orf to the coast today, they were muttering about buckets and spades. You have been warned.

I would like to say ‘good mornin folks’ but all I can muster at this time of day is ‘good afternoon folks’.
Just how, exactly, do logs sleep? In my attempt to find out last night I fell into a delayed jet lagged coma and did not wake until 1130. The little mocking wheel of wonderment, laughs and surprises seemed to be awake all night though. On questioning about the log thing it just, like the raven, said ‘nevermore’- or was it 5.4 - something like that.

Off for a walk and some hunter gathering at Morrisons after I finish my java. Might watch a film later and catch up on my book - far too many vehicles hanging around in queues today to venture out into loony land.

Have a wonderful day if you can, force yourself out under the big yellow ball of hotness and brush yourself with chip fat if you can’t.

According to my parents, when I was little, I didn't understand how logs slept either. So I would say, "I slept like a dog."

Last night I slept more like a cat. Nap, wake, change positions, nap, wake, etc.

But hey. 5.3 on the meter this morning. It's almost worth the cat-nap night's "sleep."

Rainy again, and 6 degrees this morning. April showers may bring flowers; they certainly bring on cat-naps.

I attended the DESMOND course with a friend who would fit into the group who had been badly advised, she was on ever increasing amounts of insulin, has horrific complications, when her sugars kept rising her surgery brought in a 'trouble shooter' who did nothing except increase her insulin...when we arrived at the course to our dismay the 'trouble shooter' was one of the facilitators...after a morning with her & her colleague I understood why my friend was so misguided in her approach to her diabetes management...the first question we were asked was 'what type of diabetes do you have'...we all tentatively said 'um type 2' we were rewarded with a 'good give yourself a pat on the back' since it was a course specifically designed for T2's it wasn't a difficult question to answer...from then on it got worse...finally after we asked a couple of questions like ' do you recommend a low carb good fat diet' the facilitators felt we were too advanced for the course.

well masters creating disasters... it is so depressing how many people who will die from these official kinds of bad advice:(:(
