    Ihaven't made the mayo recipe above, I just googled olive oil mayonnaise and this was the result, but this is as near to how I remember making it in the past. I always used the blender and had a little lid inside the big lid which made pouring the oil in much easier. Home made mayo will last a couple of days in the fridge.

    Thanks Serena and LittleMissAspie for the link. I'll give it a go.

    And Mazzers, yes I know that feeling, hope things get better soon.

    Regards

    Er... I'm home from Glastonbury. Slightly earlier than advertised.

    Haven't stepped on the scales yet - waiting for tomorrow! Not expecting any difference though :wink:.

    Thanks.

    If my mum was alive i'd go up there for a week, leave them to it.
    Ther'll be no boys in and out for a while anyway, they know better!!


    That mayo sounds lovely.

    Serena, its difficult to know what to do, the nurse said a cooked breakfast or toast and cereal, but if i have low carb and my bg is low they will think everything is ok, which will be great i know, but not a true result of how my body deals with sugar and insulin.
    Hmmmm

    Evening peeps. I am officially a fat git again. :( Not that I ever wasn't mind you, but all that weight I lost at the start has just re-appeared again. Fed up is not the word. (Technically it's two...I know. :rolleyes:)

    Maz...I too have pigs in my house. One in particular seems to think this place is a 5 star restaurant and takes bad to the times when the fridge is empty. I pity his future wife.

    I'm also fed up with OH again and life in general. It's like one step forward, two steps back and silly as it seems....MJ dying at 50 has made me give even more thought to how crap things can be chez aliasojo. I'm 45 now and [STRIKE]sometimes[/STRIKE] often think there must be a better way to live. Both my parents died fairly early (60 & 66) and my odds aren't good. :rotfl: Why oh why cant I just have a wee lottery win so I can sod off to the Bahamas and forget about DIY, bills, kids, OH's and all life's general problems? Not too much to ask I would have thought? :confused: Mmmm...I could hire Richard Branson's island and take you lot, (as long as you made me lc food and refused to let me eat bad things :D). Anyone game? :D

    Im forever wishing for a lottery win :rolleyes: A huge one, It's not all greed, as there are loads of people i'd help, and i just wanna give up work as it's stressing me out.


    MJ dying made me think too.
    If anyone on here died, we wouldnt know, and would be wondering where they were. (and no doubt complaining that they weren't sticking to icing). :D
