Wow great news msgigglewick! congrats:j

Feisty- really like that papercut, but it is a little busy. Lovely though!

Well I have just been on dotcomgiftshop sale as they emailed me this morning saying 90% off some things, got quite a few little things for niece for Christmas, and (ahem) a few things for home (she is actually the easiest person to buy for as she has similar taste to me and I love dcgs)

Jakesbakescakes - sorry to hear about your cat.

Mrsgigglewick - Congratulations. It's an amazing feeling isn't it?! :T

Hugs to anybody who may need them. xx

Feisty I have to agree, it is lovely and you are very talented but I feel it has a little too much going on. I too found it difficult to read the first time. I wish I had your talent. xx

CONGRATULATIONS msgigglewick:beer::beer:

FF Am with everyone else, less is more.

Well I have been to the doctors today. Am fasting from 10 tonight for blood tests at 8 in the morning.
She has told me I must follow a complete carb free diet. Not just bread, potatoes,rice etc. She means NO CARBS WHAT SO EVER, no soup, sauces, FRUIT.:eek:

I even have to use skimmed milk in my coffee.

As you can tell I am not impressed at the moment.

msgigglewick

dh is home, we' re both still in shock...debt will all be gone in the next month...after 22 years of struggling. shocked at that feeling. his response to the letter was brilliant, he slowly sat down said its the ppi,(i didn't let on i knew lol) which i said a whole £1.50? he said a lil bit more than that...we can now start living! then showed me letter lol.

feisty i actually like it, but id have had the letters not so bold if that makes sense lol

I have no idea. At least until the blood tests come back. I don't eat bread or pasta anyway as I have a wheat intolerance and IBS, but I do eat rice and potatoes. And FRUIT.

I have been looking through my cupboards and I can't have any of it. Even beetroot has carbs in it.:(

msgigglewick

Can you make a list of foods you can eat then maybe people on here could possibly come up with some recipes to use them in? minds gone blank
