    Katsu, I think I've had that squash before, it's gorgeous! I was gutted when asda and cafe nero stopped selling it. No idea how you can get rid of it though, give it out as presents?
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    When I asked the Dr about hormone testing she said any woman in their late 30's (and VERY EARLY 40's!) will have some symptoms of menopause as it starts about then.

    greeeeeeaaaat

    Ok hunny, I understand. I wonder if there was a way you could use the principles to help?

    When my mum had headaches etc in her mid 40s, her GP assumed it was the change, and she was put on HRT, no blood tests done. It wasnt the change, it was extremely high blood pressure and she died within a few months.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Anyone got any idea how I can find a place to donate some very nice squash to? It is in glass bottles so I assume would be difficult to post. I get carried away with special offers and BOGOFs and purchased about 12 bottles, then 4 bottles into it I discovered fruit teabags which are healthier as they have a trace of sugars rather than being a sugary squash.

    I've now not touched the stash since before Christmas - it is mulled wine flavour squash so is very nice but I prefer to avoid the sugars for DH.

    Any Day Centres or voluntary refuges etc close to you Kat? Otherwise it may mean storing it all somewhere until nearer Christmas when the supermarkets have the donation trolleys in store etc.....

    Yep. I think women are often treated dreadfully once they reach their 40s, lots of things assumed without being checked out.
