We're ok thanks - OH and Son upset but then who wouldn't be. She has dementia too so it is difficult - and presumably why hasn't been diagnosed before.

oh terrible news about MIL
Mouses menu for tuesday (although she darent tell you)
B - crumpets x 2 low fat spread
L - prawn salad with honey and mustard dressing (low fat)
D - salmon with roasted peppers, tomatoes and tartare sauce
s - velvet crunch crisps and wine
The crumpets were bloody gorgeous - with butter, and not lf spread. The salmon was good, washed down well with the wine - but I'm still starving so I think I will have to go slaughter a chicken or something

Sorry to hear about your mil hugs for you and your family

Thanks m'dear. Have to ask the kids if they want to go down and see her at the weekend (if it's not too late) as it could be the last chance they get and I feel I have to offer even if they would find it upsetting. I don't want them to think that they didn't get the chance to see her.

Catching up on my diary reading and was delighted to see the kitten photo... then fell upon your poor MIL's diagnosis. All my best wishes to your poor husband and family...
For the jelly, one sachet of powder makes four servings... and the official website said three per day was ok... strange but true.
As for strange ways of eating things, a couple of weeks ago on the metro, a guy produced a yoghurt from his pocket. Fully expecting a spoon to appear from behind his ear, I was aghast to see him take the lid off and proceed to eat it WITHOUT a spoon... holding it up to his mouth and squeezing...
You know what? Not a drop was wasted... <if anyone's at home right now with a yoghurt handy, give it a go... and not those huge Muller things, cos you'd get some in your ears!!>

oooh and for resisting the cheese sandwich urge, you strengthened your "resistance muscle" rather than your "give in muscle". So it'll be easier to resist next time... (says she!)

Fair nuff...
he does advocate a second portion of oatbran in that situation otherwise as an emergency one off measure!

Only if desperate and gagging... in your place, I'd put that cocoa on Ebay and watch the bidding go WILD... call it DUKAN cocoa! hihi!
ooooh and I saw you mentioned Poole... I have fond memories of the Toby Inn there (the one on a busy roundabout) and their Sunday roast! (and somewhat LESS fond memories of Poole ToysRUs... and indecisive kids taking too long to choose making us have to forego our Sunday roast last time there as they had a 1HR+ queue at 12:15pm!)
I haven't been to the pub, and can't even lace in my head where the toy shop is! I suppose it must be out by B&Q? I haven't been to Poole for ages and they have made the quay a bit more cosmopolitan - there is a big apartment complex where the pottery used to be and lots of really nice looking eateries looking out on the water. I used to work in Poole years ago and even my old office building has been made into flats.

As my other half's grand kids live nearby, it's a must do each time we're in England! <They'll be FROGMARCHED through the shop next time, mind you, by yours truly... I'm not missing my £8? roast again!!>

did I miss something? more talk of crumpets!? :S
2 tbspn oatbran
1 tbspn wheatbran
1 tbspn sugar
1 tspn cocoa or 1/2 tspn ginger
combine all dry stuff and then add water - about 5 tbspns if you want a big thin biscuit and about 3 or 4 tbspn water if you want one smaller but thicker cookie - enough to bind the ingredients together.
Bake at 180 for about 15 mins then leave to cool. Bloody marvellous.
