    White stilton with apricots... yummmm...

    Have to confess to spending some money but it was panto tickets and it cost me less for two than one usually does - a nice wee day out with DS to look forward to during the hols :D

    Kings, Cinderella :D not the same without Gerard but I'll give it a go!

    Definitely would love to go see him again, sitting downstairs this time though and taking DS to see his reaction :D

    I've seen Slava 3/4 times now and still love it, best show I've seen yet

    Enjoy cinders I'm sure that will be fun also, why isn't Gerard in it ?

    I've tried nuts, they help for a wee while but not long enough sadly

    Why don't you work down the GI gradually? Take yourself from the white sugar, to the honey, to the brown rice, and do a gradual change to nuts? Rather than try to cold turkey it?

    Cheese is just so delicious :)

    Depends on the cheese. Soft cheese is OK, hard cheese is like lard, but without the sophistication:

    Yes, was a sad day - he was always the daft, fun character at the panto although I saw him in The Odd Couple with Craig Ferguson years ago so he could act too:). oh he was in Eastenders too I think!
