    According to Mr Google, (a rather cool soothslayer and font of knowledge i use when i am faced with my own pool of ignorance), they do exist in the following format. Noooooo way. I hang out in the wrong places. I thought i was pretty au fait with food, clearly not vegetables it seems. I am a connoisseur in the peas department as they are my fave veg.

    Nooooo. I have only ever seen an orange carrot. I have been conned. Multi coloured cauliflowers is this healthy????

    I am genuinely astounded my dear Dragon. EEEK, want to try them, where do i find them?

    We got ours in our organic veg box (where we used to live) and we did a meal with purple potatoes, the green cauli and the white carrots, my Dad was a little confuzzled :D

    Day two - two hours sleep, on the sofa. Up most of the night looking at money makng ideas but getting nowhere. Have been accepted for a medical trial on March 11th (found through MSE) where they will be monitoring my brain activity while wtaching tv and the internet! Thats £60 I will earn.

    Ok. Here come the details.

    45, married for 9 years, two beautiful 5 year olds (twins, one of each). Have a nice house, car, excellent job. Wife doing avon to get her back into work.
    One of the things I didnt mention is the fact that the wife doesn't know about most of the debt and I can't tell her. If she knew, she would walk and I will lose everything.
    A friend of mine has suggested hypnotherapy. He has a friend who would be willing to do the sessions and, although sceptical I am willing to try.


    I feel for you. I started to get into debt when I was 18 (now 25) lost control and got the same amount of debt. Some from gambaling. I was scared to tell my parents but when I told them last year they were angry at me because I didn't tell them before. May be she would understand???

    Sorry not read your entire post. Who do you gamble with?
    Credit Card Debts: £11,605.95/£16,240.53 - 71% paid off.

    £4,634.61 credit card debt remaining. Aim for credit card debt free before
    [STRIKE]October 2011[/STRIKE] December 2012. In debt since 2004.

    Do not feel sorry for me. I want no sympathy, I am here because I want to say clean. Being here helps me stay clean.

    My wife will not know. I have many reasons for this, the main one being that she knew before and I broke promises to her to stay clean. If she was to know now, she would leave me. I would lose everything I have and most of all I would lose the will to carry on.

    I no longer gamble. I have been clean now for over a year, and proud to say the good people on here have helped me immensely.
  • SW, the purple carrot is apparently the original carrot grown in england, but I may be wrong.

    Well done on staying clean! The orange carrot became popular when William and Mary came to the throne, because he was William of Orange, but yes both white and purple carrots were popular before then
