    But aren't you paid in arrears? How can you owe them that much?

    Have they given you a full breakdown of how they they've worked it out? I wouldn't be offering them anything till I'd checked they'd done their maths properly.

    Do check it is what you owe melly, just in case. Don't be upset, you did the right thing for you and your family.

    Good morning all! I had salad! I managed green things! Tonight WaSp and I are making vegetable sushi for the first time with the wonderful kit someone here sent me (thank you wonderful person). We have never tried it before but as I love it so much I figured vegetable sushi could be another way of getting me back to being able to face veggies. Right now I am still living off of Berocca for vitamins which I shouldn't do because of the sweeteners but my diet has nothing but carbs and proteins in it! Fruit seems to cause the same problems because I drank so much fruit juice when I was ill.

    I absolutely love tomatoes and am desperate for them but everytime I see them on a plate all I can think is that tomato soup was the last thing I threw up and can't touch them. This is now really annoying. I know I have Phobic Aversion Disorder but over vegetables and fruit? Really?

    Well done on the green things consumption WaS.

    Thanks for your comments I know it was the right decision and they are just hacked off that I left still not nice.

    Try growing some of the coloured tomatoes that might help.

    Also, was the soup Cream of Tomato? If so, it is probably the dairy part that makes you queasy.
    If so, try a little tomato ketchup on something .
    Or, grill half a tomato to within an inch of its life, so that you get it caramelised, a shake of pepper, and try that!



    Mellymoo, how long did you actually work there for?

    It was cream of tomato, that is a good point about the dairy. I tried cheese yesterday that normally I could eat by the bucket load but found one piece very rich and had to leave it. My digestion/taste still isn't entirely back to normal. I shall try grilled tomatoes and tiny little bits of raw veggies in my sushi tonight. This may actually be normal after the flu, I have no idea because I have never had it before!

    On a sort of bright side my consultants are wrong, I can lose weight because I have. The solution is 3 weeks of diawoowoo which is still going.
