I have loads of food intolerances too and they know about them but apparently I am just difficult.. like it is something you have a choice over.
Basically I eat boring 'english' food with pasta thrown in. White meat, poultry, veggies, stews etc
I hate spicy stuff and food that looks like dog vomit. I don't like brocolli or cauliflower or tomatoes.
Red meat upsets my tum, sweetcorn and salad cripple me with stomach cramps, red fruits, 'latex' food (bananas, avacados, kiwis eg) make me ill
I can't eat garlic as it upsets Squeaks tummy but I love it!

Hi flyers
Just in for a list update be back in a mo xI'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
Afternoon all
Went for a long walk with a friend this morning
Watered back and front gardens
Put the washing out.
Then it rained, so got the washing back in and it is now on the maiden
Told a scrap man to bog off and that my old watertank has plants growing in it and is not scrap
Let a door to door do a quote on sofa cleaning 'special price' of £63 doesn't sound that special to me
Just going to spend 15 minutes on emails and then off to library/town for a bit before school picup
Kaz - DS3 has inline adjustable skates (size 2-5) I think. He likes them and they are a good fit but finds them much more difficult than the traditional skates which I think are more popular again now.
Piggers are you blood group A?The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
PepPop - thanks, I have tried online. Apparently I need to download 'Kies' to my laptop, and then I can sync the two - sounds simple
except that when I try to download a message says that a problem with the website has caused internet explorer to close :mad: I have emailed them
Well, forms posted (one frog eaten :j), PC stuff collected, lunch eaten. I have managed to book a rehearsal with the pianist for DSs clarinet exam...at 9am Saturday morning - he won't be pleased :rotfl:
i have a school pick up at 1.30, so I might just sort through some paper stuff until I have to go out. I may even do a balance transfer!
It's clouding over here, i hope we are not in for too much rain as the roof still hasn't been looked at
i may have to chase him up...
Update: I am downloading Kies - it must have been having a bad day yesterday (or they looked at it after getting my email )0 -
Hi, Flyfriends.:hello:
Checking in while I have a time out and force a spot of lunch down me (appetite's shot at the mo).:(
CY I'm afraid I need all my spoons, but I'll swipe a few of Mr LW's for you and DD1; he'll never notice,;) as he's usually full o'beans!:DHoping DD2's exam goes/went well, too.:o
Pixie Fairydust good luck with the new job; love the name, btw.:o
Happierdays forgive my ignorance, but what is a pregnancy mask, please? I'm assuming (probably wrongly) that it's something akin to the Lupus butterfly rash?:o
Jayjay I hope your headache hasn't transformed into a full-blown migraine – horrid things, those.:(
Nixie adding my get-well vibes for Merlin and Harry; I hate to think of animals hurting.:( Just Googled Kifit, as I'd never heard of it.... best of luck, I really do hope it helps you.:o
After a couple of reasonable days, I'm feeling like last week's limp lettuce again today,:( so I'm glad I got part of the lounge done yesterday (pc desks and accoutrements); if at all possible, I need to get a start on the remaining rooms, too, as Mr LW is working from home tomorrow, so Flying will be non-existent, or minimal at best.:cool:If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
I have been doing bits while watching tv, only 2 bits of skirting left to do in LR now and vacuuming and then I will move out to the hall and stairs.
