And I assume you will be up for depending your title when the Brazil games come round?

Michaels,the problem there is Brazilian beer is that fizzy lager stuff. I might have to go over early for some acclimatisation training I wonder if Argos will sponsor me? :rotfl:

Probably not a nice person comment. One of dh's closest chums, one of those who came here for drunken jazz weekend this summer works in a London state school. As well as having a second job two nights a week ( for fun) And has been completing his doctorate in his own time, and father of two young kids with wife with what he describes as ' seriously mental hours', I.e. In comparison to his.

I don't know what I eat that's got gluten... probably most of my food as I eat a lot of toast (had it twice today). I've also had caffeine (instant coffee). No sugar (only use that on weetabix). No alcohol.

You can do a lot with cauliflowers and cheese.... lots. But then cheese is high cal.

6 weeks is too long for a diet. They should be limited to 6 hours really. More achievable.

I forgot. It's dairy free as well, with the exception of plain full fat yoghurt.

I'm in Ikea. It smells of apple and cinnamon.

I wish we could go back to the time when the NP thread didn't involve politics or complaining about someone's hours of work. I may have to stop lurking.

I don't think any topics are off limits for NP....except house prices of course

I started a diet this morning. I have joined 'the little black dress club' at a local gym. It's a 6 week thing with up to 6 ladies.

With the news today re the Leeds trial I am so grateful we don't have unrestricted access to guns as they do in the US

Ivyleaf asked about my blood test results. Bit of a sore point really. :mad: Had letter from surgery telling me to go in to get results from practice nurse, so OH called and made appt. Turns out she can ONLY talk about cholesterol, and we should have made doc appt for Vit D and all the other results. (why couldn't they have said that in the letter they sent?) But can't get to see doc I need to as he's booked up for weeks. <rolls eyes> So nurse suggested I see the locum I saw last time, who said I should go and see someone who knew me and had seen me before. If I can't see "my doc" I'd rather see a lady doc, but they don't do as many sessions. So Gawd alone knows when I'll find out what rest of test results are, prob be lucky to get them before Xmas! :mad: :eek:

Cholesterol up again, but can't be bothered with the ghastly diet and won't take statins, so if I drop dead I drop dead, at least I wouldn't have to find the rest of papers for my tax accountant! :rotfl: I have serious problems eating anyway, so any kind of diet is difficult/impossible. Poor OH tries very hard to cook wonderful meals, but it's very hit and miss. Sometimes I just find I'm not able to eat whatever it is after a couple of mouthfuls. Very frustrating for OH.

Still not managed to find a home for one of our things we put on Freegle, but the guy who came and took book case yesterday evening took a storage unit I'd meant to list but hadn't got round to yet, so that's good. So still have a pine Ikea desk to dispose of, if I don't hear from 3rd person (!) I've contacted tonight I think I'll just re-list it. Lady who picked up other Ikea desk was pleased with it, and even came prepared with an Ikea allen key - now that's organisation for you! :rotfl: It wasn't needed in the end, plus we've got plenty of them, but it struck me as a really good idea.
