Hi Dandelion. I have been reading your thread and just wanted to encourage you to keep plugging away. My own thread has been a catalogue of regular failings but somehow I've kept going like you have and things feel a little easier right now. I think stress is just so completely undermining of everyt...

Hahaha the Heathrow injection :) I now at last have a good excuse, it's not me it's the climate and the food :) How exciting about your test. My thoughts are with you and hoping for another wonderful Iron baby on the way. Passion fruit curd sounds totally yummy - do you make it and if so did you sie...

Hi Linda. I just got back from my doctors who said my increased exercise will build muscle so should not look for weightloss for a while. But that is a good thing. I think you are doing really healthy exercise and you will be changing the way your body works. So hang in there. I have started weighin...

Hi there. I know how wearing it can be when it gets painful standing too long. So miserable for you. I try to cook something before I go to work. I often have more energy first thing in the morning. I don't do loads. Just get something ready. A small extra meal is important if you have a long day. I...

Hi Lori thanks for dropping by. Ironchef thanks for your support so welcome. By the way a cobnut is an English type of hazel nut. They are bigger and longer if cultivated and small but very tasty when they grow in the wild. I adore them. Eschano my garden is quite long but not really large. I just h...

Hi Oolala. I so understand what it is like to navigate the sea of failure. But strangely of course you have often been my guide and compass through that sea. So hang in there you will find your path I am sure. I think you are a vanilla gal, that is your default but sometimes life intrudes and you lo...

Hi Linda. I really think I understand some of your feelings about mortality and loss. I have been feeling so vulnerable for a while now due to losing my friend. It makes you question everything and life can feel very fragile at times. It's good to feel your home safe around you. I'm so impressed you...

It's funny how we all have our different times in the day when not eating is just sooooo hard :) I hardly ever feel like eating late at night. But of course that's because I've usually stuffed myself and blown my noS day by eating at 4 ish. Which is my vulnerable time !! A special cuppa sounds the p...
