  • Hahahahaha no black and white waddling things here!

    I haven't seen a nutritionist for around 5 years so it is probably time I chased it up. Last time she explained that unlike diabetes I produce too much insulin so I need 6 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones, ideally protein based but carbs alone if I feel faint for a quick fix. Three meals a day need to contain carbs and if I eat anything sweet I have to have it directly after a meal so that there isn't a sudden sugar spike which result in a quick drop.

    Diets in general are really difficult, even when my ED was bad and I was eating just a big bowl of porridge it was in 6 small meals or I would feel faint. It's lucky I like nuts so much, they make up a big part of my tiny meals.

  • Memory lapse of the day! My eye drops come in a small squeezable bottle, my psoriasis application comes in a bigger squeezable bottle. Guess who just put alcohol based scalp solution in her eye? Ouch!

    Ow! Ow! Ow! Hope they are better now.

    How is the Cupboard of Doom coming on? Have you managed to do a little bit, or has life got in the way?

  • I am down to one shelf left in the Cupboard of Doom! and we are having a Cushion of Great Anxiety moment soon when my eye stops smarting. Alcohol based solution in your eye really isn't good.

    Poor you! Reminds me of the time when, wearing contact lenses, I mixed up the soothing eye drops I used after taking the lenses out, with the contact lens cleaner!! Ow ow ow, red eye or what!

    Gave the eye a good wash out, but it still took 24hours before I could put the lens in the eye again!

    You only do that once!

    I'm in a clique! It's a clique of one! It's a unique clique!
    I love :eek:



  • Oh, ouch Pyxis!

    Ok, from behind the Cushion of Great Anxiety we have...

    A much loved postcard from a friend! Now, I want to be able to look at (it has a hamster on a swing!) so tucking it away in a safe place won't work as I won't rediscover it for years so suggestions please?

    Fridge door?

    I think it can be quite cheerful to have postcards in the kitchen.

    Why was that behind the CoGA?

  • It is now attached to the fridge door with a magnet. Thank you!

    It arrived about 4 months ago and I thought it was so sweet that I wanted to keep it handy so that I could see it. This then caused problems about where to put it for easy access because my drawers are full as was the Cupboard of Doom. Putting it in a safe place would mean I'd lose it as I always do so then I panicked and hid it which meant I never saw it anyway!

    Fridge door, or if you have a kitchen cabinet as a medicine cupboard that might be a could cupboard front to designate as a postcard place.....with a little bluetack. The travelling cabinet seems much nicer that the pill cabinet.

    I forgot to say how impressed I am that the Cupboard of Doom is down to one shelf!
