I think I have won most of my stuff on the daily mags do you do them or are they too time consuming for you. By the way you seem to be doing a grand job with the kids.
Too time consuming - i enter as much as possible at work but at home i'm either with the kids or outI was always told by my dietician - if it won't mash with a fork you shouldn't eat it
Depends on the size of the fork - sure you can mash up a cow with a gardening one
, no raw veg, no veg with skins, no wholemeal, no fibre, no spicy foods! Milk does upset my stomach a bit but I have tried soya milk, rice milk and all those other lactose free milks and hated them so I just drink cows milk anyway!
Awww - that must be a real pain = i live on spicy food (bar curry) - godsend though about wholemeal - as tasty as eating a carpet tile
:grouphug:
That emote reminds me of a good night years ago :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -
Ahhh I used to live off salads and wholemeal bread - I was a real health food freak! I miss them!
Reet - basin lids in bed, wine here, glass here, I'm sorted!

Hiya. I've just won a two night break in an Edinburgh city centre hotel (with breakfast!!) which I am really looking forward to as I haven't had a break for 10 years!
However, I wondered what is the cheapest way to get to Edinburgh. The prize comes with £100 travel expenses - does anyone know if I can fly to Edinburgh on that? Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I am useless at this! Thanks.0 -

Well done on your win. It looks like to you can get return flights from London to Edinburgh from between £80 - 100 return with EasyJet. Hope you manage to find something. You can usually get cheap train fairs as well.BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS0 -

Well done on your win! I have often travelled by train up to Edinburgh from Newcastle, man! Though the train priced have risen since my last trip. You could always try a compare website for flights

LOL! Yes 38 years old but I wasn't young when I had my first - my eldest just turned 10 last month!
Ahhh bless him - into double figures now! Yes, you are right about my hobbies too - but you can add wine onto the list.... :rotfl: and more wine! :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
