Dragon's debt diary

heavens Dragon you poor love, hope your power stays with you and you get all toasty and warm

Luckily we have a wood fire and a gas cooker so we could boil pans of water and keep warm - but some of the villages that were effected are served by leccy only :eek: (and some of them STILL don't have power back! :eek::eek::eek::eek:)

Trust me I know (guess what we have!) - but the gas cooker CAN be lit with a match.

Looks as though we may not be going away for Christmas now (more heavy snow due around this way) so I hope to get Dr Dragon helping me with some clearing and then I want to STITCH!

Got my dieticians appointment through (hmm reading the information they sent I am not sure they will help me! They keep talking about people who over eat - I UNDER eat!)

Oooh well done LT! Stitching probably wont happen today BUT I hope to get some done between Christmas and New Year (where ever we end up spending Christmas )

Hoping you can manage to get on with that stitching.
Hope your appointment isn't too far ahead .

The dieticians appointment is for first thing on the 5th January and I have to fill a 4 day food diary in before hand :rolleyes:, I'm waiting for them to bring in the spurious "Eat 5 a day" and the spurious "no more than 14 units a week" both of which have no scientific basis (and I eat more that 5 a day at the moment in any case!)

I am also waiting for the "Eat nuts they are a healthy source of fats and vitamins and they will help you lose weight" yep they will help me lose weight and vital signs! I am really not holding out much hope for this can you tell :rotfl:

I didn't know nuts can help you lose weight.I thought they were fattening.

You've got to give the dietician a chance though.t's a good idea to fill the food diary in as I'm sure they can help with undereating as well as they'll be trained in allsorts of eating problems.

I guess I am feeling a little cynical as I went to see one where I used to live - they never checked my food diary (which I had to fill out for a week I might add!), just took one look at me and said I was overeating and to cut down, weighed me and handed me a diet sheet (all this took less than 10 minutes - the appointment was supposed to be for an hour!), every day for this 7 day diet (which I was not supposed to waver from) there was an ounce of Brazil nuts as a mid afternoon snack - she didn't listen to me at all (and I didn't go back and told my GP why as well!):rolleyes:
