Hi Everyone

Had a really lovely break sunshine and showers but it was great to get away.

we have been sooo busy since we came back have had 3 birthdays, 1 anniversary, Mothers Day and the worst two funerals one was expected but the other one wasn't just a really good friend who had a brain hemorrhage thankfully it was very quick.

Hopefully now this month will improve .

It's pouring of rain and I have 6 children to pick up from school think we might go and visit dear old Maccxxs.

Sorry haven't read any post but welcome to all the new members and hope everyone else is well.

Oh yes and I haven't potted anything but don't worry will be in Sparkyland tomorrow :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

LC2's kiddies are all grown up, those are her grand children (though still gorgeous in every sense of the word )

LC2, dont forget to pick up some more chalks! that summer weather will be here soon and you dont want to be depriving grandad of all those works of art in his garden :rotfl::rotfl:

No pennies for me today, did manage to drag my sorry backside to the post office with the parcel I dropped yesterday as I went out the door :mad: but feel like someones run over me with an lorry, reversed and had another go! . . . DH was happy to let me make him a cup of tea though

Don't take this as medical advice but I thought I'd share it as I had a similar situation. It was suspected as IBS although I don't recall taking any medication for it just told to add extra fibre to my diet!

In the end I did an elimination diet and then slowly introduced food types back in to my diet and was able to see what I was reacting so badly to. It turned out to be yeast and MSG. Which as you can imagine is in a lot of things. I stopped eating food with those things in for a few years (I don't think you necessarily have to do it for that long but at the time I thought I had developed a full blown allergy rather than an intolerance). However, it gave my body time to rest from those foods and so I was able to reintroduce them into my diet fairly successfully. If I go mad on eating something then my body will tend to 'dump it' fairly quickly but if I'm sensible then I can eat whatever I like. It might be worth looking into an elimination diet, there's lot of information about it online.

Thank you for the advice, I have sort of looked into elimination diets before but not gone any further. I'm a vegetarian and a very fussy eater as it is, so I'm kind of worried about what would be left that I actually would eat I'm fed up of being permanently bloated though, so it may be the way to go. Even if it really is IBS, it would probably still help me as I would see what things were causing it to really flare up.
I'm pleased that you were able to reintroduce things to your diet. :)There's some foods that I love so much that it'd make me miserable if I couldn't eat them.

I've managed to pot 51p today

Evening potters all; enjoying the rugby?! (I have escaped and will be having a small story reading marathon with DD in a minute...)

Walked to farmers' market with said small DD this morning with twenty squids in purse; came back with nothing! Well, except the three lovely two pound coins for the cow pot and 8p for the sealed pot, but no note any more, for sure! Doesn't take much to spend it, but we went late and got bargains on posh bread and charcuterie, so worth it for a treat Shame we got caught in the pouring rain, then hail, coming back though

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone; keep warm, well and happy; hugs for those in need x

Evening all, hope all are well.

Not a great week potting, only potted twice this week due to being frugal. Same next week also, so see how it goes.

£4.20 potted today.

£181+ potted so far and still on target to reach £200 by the end of March.
