Can people please have a ponder what nutrients shirl might be most worried about?
For my mum, she said 'but how can there be enough protein?' when seeing how low the budget was...
Is she the norm?
Wow there has been a lot of posting whilst i was doing that list?. My ex was concerned about the omega content not sure he understands it comes from anything but fish but at least he knows about it and questioned it.0 -

I know mine and ISOMs sian, wanna guess?
I wouldn't be at all surprised if we have a higher than usual amount of INFP/Js on this thread.
And in my head you're an ENFP but pretty close on the J/P and E/I (I bet I'm totally wrong and you're laughing now!)
And I have Lesley as an ISFJ
And I think Allegra might be an ENFP
Aless... Hmmmmn ESTJ?
Shanks INFP
Just did the test and i am a ISFJ0
