    Nil today, brought sandwiches (cheap ham, Jarlsberg cheese, Dijon mustard) and banana and apple. Lots of water. Galaxy smoothie that my office mate got free at the train station.

    I'm buying flowers for the dining table for the first time tomorrow, a cheap sprig in a jar should do. Proving to the OH that I am doing summat for the house besides eating, sleeping and planning world domination.

    Bobbadog, I believe wholemeal pasta needs cooking a little longer than whote pasta otherwise it's tough, lol. Let me know what you think though - I've never tried it either but should do I suppose!

    Hiya! I will, love! Though a friend of mine said i ate it round her house a few weeks ago and i didn't notice anything different, so that must be a good sign! I got a rapid cook one. Am lazy. xx

    NSD this morning, my Oh even cooked us lunch.... then I took my dog to the vets this afternoon, and came out nearly £300 poorer:eek: . He is insured, but they said the claim can take up to 3 weeks to pay out, and I still have to pay £65 excess

    hi bobbadog, with regards to the wholemeal pasta I've recently started eating it and find its tastes is much nicer that white pasta and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, have also managed a NSD too.
    take care shell
