    No, I don't think so. She had a swallow-a-camera thing, and wasn't allowed to be on her own after that, so I collected her and she came to our flat for a while, and then OH drove her down to Kent after the rush hour. But I don't remember that this involved any radioactive substances.

    Oh. This one checks you are not having bile salt malabsorption. (Which I think CAN happen in celiac, but I might well be wrong. :)).

    Is that all for one meal?

    At the BBQ here last night there were 9 of us eating, between us we got through

    18 sausages, 8 burgers, 15 chicken wings.

    With assorted rolls (12 consumed) dips and crudities, crisps, green salad.

    Plus fruit salad and Etons mess.

    Plus drinks. Soft drinks + 3 jugs of Pimms, 1 bottle of wine, a couple of beers. Alcohol consumed by just 5 people, in our crowd you either drink like a fish or don't drink.
    No, that's 3 meals. 1 meal = 2 sausages; 1 meal = 1 burger; 1 meal = 2/3 fish fingers.

    Isaac would regard 2 fish-fingers as a snack, not part of an actual meal.
    Well, it's 2 fish fingers and something. e.g. 200grams of oven chips and 1/3rd of a 410g tin of beans. Or in a baguette with some salad cream.

    WE always give the DKs 4 or 5 fish fingers each, they feel very hard done by at school where it is rationed to 2 each.
    Cor ... 4-5 .... I'd consider myself a piggy and giggle with the joy of over-stuffing :)

    Well, I get to have a Sehcat scan next :). Apparently the chances of something cool like turning in to spider man are slim. I did point out I do well with long odds. :). He also said there is no actual Geiger counter pointy thing, just a biggish scanner.

    But I wil have to sit down to wee while radioactive ( it says that on the instructions,) And no compost duty for me for a week.

    (NDG, did your coeliac sister have one? :)).

    (I find the idea of being radio active kind of funny and marvel/dc comics)
    Are you allowed to cuddle your fluffies while radioactive??

    Fish fingers here we have as sandwiches. Pretty much only as sandwiches.

    Surely fishfingers only exist in sandwich form?

    I only eat fishfingers every now and again, and only always in a sandwich.


    I've just looked at booking ferry tickets for September.... £140 return in a car. Ouch!

    Foot passenger is £20 return, but then I a) have to leave my car somewhere (or even worse, travel all the way by public transport) b) carry all my camping stuff and c) get myself to the campsite (not sure if I'll be able to get a bus).

    Where to? Sounds a lot.... they do discourage single travellers by pricing per car.

    Get googling. You might have to move into the shed for a week.

    For my tea I took the smallest onion in the bag, 3 medium spuds, 3 cherry tomatoes and 60grams of cheddar. Chopped the onion/tomatoes and chucked into a dish with a splash of oil in the oven; skinned/sliced/nuked spuds; cut up cheese small. Once ready, combined the whole lot as a big cheesey, onion, tomato mash :) And baked that for 15 minutes. Ate half.... utterly stuffed.
