    there you go Beanie.

    I love celery raw, on its own, with primula cheese spread down the middle or dipped in marmite. I can not stand the stuff cooked though. Cauliflower is the same, love it raw with dips, the thought of it cooked makes me gag.

    I feel the same about tomatoes: Don't like whole cooked tomatoes - but can have puree or whatever. With me it's definately the texture...

    Back again, just been in the garage/gym for the first time in 2 weeks :eek:
    I need to do some work to get back up to full strength after being ill and the lump (which has gone woohoo!)
    instead of a straight run I did a circuit:
    treadmill 5 mins
    punchbag 5 mins
    weights 5 minutes.
    Managed the circuit 3 times.

    Glad to be exercising again but feeling a bit disappointed.

    That's 45 minutes of exercise Linda, pretty good if you ask me. The last time I did 45 minutes on gym equipment was back in 2003. It was the day before a big showbizzy type event and I suddenly realised I was a bit optimistic when I bought a size 6 dress. All that 45 minutes did was make me walk around all night as if my nappy needed changing:rotfl:

    It must be going well if it's making you think of sweet stuff...
