    Me too Di:o

    I had a weird autumn losing nearly a stone and I wasn't even dieting:o When I got my appetite back I ate like a horse and I've put it all back on again:o

    I love Christmas food etc but always like getting back to normal eating.

    We need a plan:D

    Lovely to see you TS....so sorry to hear that you've been poorly:A

    I'll leave you to devise the plan and then I'll stick to it :D

    Feeling sad to think I am the same age as George Michael....... :A

    I feel so sad too he:o

    Bowie was my musical hero but I think the death of George Michael has really hit me....maybe it's an age thing I don't know. Or that he died alone:o

    Inevitable rumours are circulating about his recent addiction to heroine. If the romours are true, I hope the people who supplied him can sleep soundly in their beds tonight:mad:

    Yes grapes are a must cjj. ;) Chutney is a nice touch and maybe some pickled onions too. I always buy some crusty bread too, often a French stick which cut into slices and put in a basket are nice alternative to those not keen on crackers. And we have occasionally put out a bowl of apples small ones, we like apple and cheddar and some of our friends do too.

    We have also cooked and sliced a gammon before now if we have had a whoopsied one in the freezer, I know not in keeping with cheese and wine but it always goes down well.

    When shall I put the date for in my diary. :whistle:

    I like pears with cheese:)
