    This wine I've got here claims to have 9.4 units of alcohol hidden in it! That's two thirds of a week's allowance for a woman .. or maybe they've put the decimal point in the wrong place :)

    Just googled it and the safe alohol limits are 2-3 units per day for women and 3-4 for men. So if a bottle is 9.4 units, we are allowed less than a glass a day:rolleyes:

    Never mind out of date lbs thing - are you ready for the serious but secret health challenge starting Tuesday ?
    Humph. Yes. I was going to start my £100 treats thing on 1st Sept as well, will have most of it left at the end of the month as nice food and chocolate won't be allowed. :rolleyes: However, I do want to lose 2 stone by Christmas so I will have to do it.

    That has just reminded me, we are 2/3 through the year, so I should have completed 66 things on my 100 list. I know without looking it will be about 20icon8.gif

    If your use of the word 'alohol' is anything to go by then perhaps they are right :rotfl:
