It's good enough as a guide, but bear in mind that at 185cm and about 105kg and OH is 160cm and about 60kg. I'd say (but I'm no doctor) that our reactions to alcohol are completely different, but that's just my opinion.

Can't believe you are allowed to know what your wife weighs, let alone quote it.

Well done, Sue. I didn't know you were looking for anything full time.

Well, me and Josh have almost completed our first week on the diet, he has been amazing and has followed it well, despite some of his friends trying to cajole him into having something he shouldn't...he held fast and had the healthy option.

I sneaked a look on the scales on Friday, mum's scales are not the most exact or brilliant but it showed an approx loss of between 4 and 6 pounds...I'm getting my own tomorrow so we can do it slightly more accurately!

:T:T:T

Well done him. And well done you too. Hope it carries on going brilliantly. (Although don't be disappointed if it slows down a bit after the first few weeks. Even if you carry on being just as "good" the later weight is harder to shift than the first lot, so it's as well to be forewarned. Although you probably know that and I am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs.)

I am a bit concerned that I have never put pepper in my mash! Of any colour!! I don't put salt in either..

I've never put pepper in mash either, but depending on what DH fancies, sometimes I'll put in mustard or horseradish sauce. Depends what its being served with.

We add milk and butter and sometimes cheese - but then we don't add salt or pepper to anything whilst cooking but do have it available if there are guests who want to add.

I never used to. I just used to put a blob of marg in and mash by hand. Then, about 5 years ago, I'd seen a lot of recipes say pepper, and I had some, so I put a bit in and it was quite nice. So I kept doing it. One tiny pot of pepper would last 5-10 years in my house, I don't use it much/often.

I put pepper on pretty much everything, so it's not surprising that mash doesn't escape. No salt, but I'll often add a bit of stock cube/ powder to things so that will be a source of added salt.

What else ends up in the mash depends what I have around/ what it is accompanying. My mash has been known to include cheese, spring onion, mustard, dried herbs or sometimes that little bit of stock cube. I usually add milk (unless I've run out) but often leave out the butter/ olive oil.

Is spirit ok?

I have been reading but posting infrequently as I was in quite a lot of pain since christmas eve. In the last week we seem to have solved it. Did not want to post as I was concious others were going through hard times and I did not want to whinge. I will email to agree a date now that things are on the mend.
