Hi ES , glad you had a nice weekend,  out of interest , are your stomach issues lessened if you don't drink alcohol ? Wondered if that could be an irritant  . MC , seriously , his treats to himself are what a lot of families have to live on really , 50 quid to his dad , is that his rent money ? I remember you saying you kept it low with a view to him getting on track . Hopefully this week or next brings some action , not looking likely though . Take care xx

it is something I wondered myself and probably didnt do myself any favours having wine at the football although I did opt for red. I don't think it helps at all , I used to drink a lot more then what I do now but I absolutely need to cut down frequency. As I have my GS this weekend I won't be drinking and will abstain the following weekend hopefully , the problem is , it really is my relaxer.

As for MC , the spending is just ridiculous but its on him............It does add to my armoury when if and when I have to bring up the lack of forward planning.

Unfortunately he has taken to watching TV with us and sitting around and chatting more - the cynical side of me believes there is a purpose to this rather then just coincidence but the oppurtunity to have another chat with his dad is not there right now. I won't have it during working hours or when we are in bed as this isn't the time but I do need the privacy to have it without risk of being interupted - there needs to be some action. Its been 7 weeks since the conversation about his departure , nothing appears to have been considered and he is still not talking to his mum

And yes , thats his rent money - an error on my part with hindsight but he could pay me 10 times the amount and I would still feel the same way.

Made it the gym this morning for 6am - didnt feel very productive as I literally just rolled out of bed and in there but I got there and did a few light resistance moves which seem to be helping with my general tone.

Did spend yesterday , dunelm about £25 for a new back and front door mat as the ones we have are fraying at the sides and the rubber is coming apart.

Will need to go out in my lunch too as there is no washing up liquid in the house and the shopping isn't coming until tomorrow.

Cooked shepherds pie last night and will be doing cod and chorizo stew tonight , will double check the reciepe and that I have everything I need before I head off to the shops.

I've had my tumeric immunity shot , and my beetroot juice this morning so just the green anti inflammatory one to go along with the biomel.

Half the battle is remembering to blooming take everything , maybe it will help my menopausal brain tick over.

I asked about the alcohol as I remembered a former colleague had similar symptoms to you , she had testing and was intolerant to wheat and another product can't remember what though but do recall her saying we'll I'm not giving up lager and red wine 😂. I'm not a big drinker , also gave up smoking for health reasons and feel I'm in a permanent menopausal bad mood so I do get the fact alcohol can be a relaxant . Your meals always sound lovely . Don't be buying any 300 pound coats when you are at tesco now !xx

My friend can’t drink any wine with sulphites in - maybe that ?
