Apart from anything else, it must be costing you a fortune in food that you are not enjoying!!!

Def something to be addressed!

Yes totally .... It is costing me a fortune for food I don't even enjoy .... I think I am going to look up vegetarian restuarants ... And I have two lunches booked before I go on holiday but will be cutting them down when I come back

I did bring this on myself though years ago friends would be wanting me to go out and I didn't want to .... I hate discos / night clubs pub quizzes etc my idea of a night out is more pictures theatre ten pin bowling gig etc .... Which is most deff not theirs ... And when it comes to going out I like to go with my husband .... I love spending time with him .... One of the reasons I married him ... And my friends are all eh no why would u want to go out with your man... So in order for us to stay in touch I suggetrd lunches ... I think they enjoy them ... It's a change for them to go out through the day not spend £50-£60 on getting into clubs and buying drinks etc just maybe £15 for some food and drink

So I amsitting here thinking what is the answer .... And I think I am going tonhave to force them
to recognise I am a veggie and I don't eat rubbish anymore

Hi El, just having a catch up, how are you doing? The stuff a couple of pages back about the books/health/hormones etc I found really interesting. How have you found the shred DVD?

In my little circle of friends we are all very different so when we meet up we take it in turns to decide what to do. It can be a meal, drinks, evening at someones house etc. That way we get all our 'tastes' catered for and because we dont do it very often it gives us chance to budget for it. My bugbear was always that as I was the only one with children (I had mine young) whatever we did was not child friendly which meant organising babysitters etc. So my choices could be a picnic at the park or something like that. Now that we are getting older and a few friends are married I suspect that we will be doing more child friendly things in the future!

Hope you are well x x x

I've been thinking about this one too. I like to try somewhere different at times and perhaps a little organic cafe would be nice. They often do a good range to suit all tastes and you could bring in your interests re organic way of life. It may start a new venture for you all- and if there isn't a cafe, well you could perhaps start one as well

Could you be the one to start providing lunch at home? They may not realise just how good veggie food could be, and you might inspire them! At least you will be spending the money on things you know you will be happy to eat, and also it's only fair that, after so long lunching on their terms, they can eat on yours!
Or... as it's summer, you could all take a picnic each and go to some beauty spot or park?

Oh forgot to add it's an Indian meal .... Not that that makes much difference .... I used to love Indian food now though it's just too full of chemicals etc ... So what would u do ?

I'd ring them on the quiet and talk ingredients......if only for a one-off portion of vegetable biriani for one.....;)...and imply the whole booking may depend upon it

Hugs Hun - know where you;re coming from
