Kazw - I remember reading a study about how a very controlled diet can impact on some types of diabetes, just pleased it has worked for you. My mum has held it off for a good 25 years by being very careful.
Lamewolf - huge hugs, I would certainly welcome a PM from you.

When I was arranging Sonjas funeral, I chose the Co-op and they told me early on that if the bill was paid within 28 days then I could get a discount on the bill. I thought that was good and Sonja would be pleased that even in death she was saving money.
Imagine my surprise when last week I received a letter from the Co-op to confirm that my dividends of £23 will be paid into my bank shortly!!
Surely thats dedication to the cause... saving money 10 months later!
Best wishes to everyone.
