Thank you everybody, good to read about your successes too.
Shopping has just arrived so all nicely stocked up except for some reason I appear to have ordered 48 toilet rolls - hope it's not a sign of things to come !!!! I've had my multi-vitamin and now sipping on my first cup of peppermint tea - wow how nice is that? I think I'll make some more and let it cool overnight and add it to a choc shake in the morning. I had the mushroom pasta over a big bowl of mushrooms for my tea, is it just the way I made or is it really watery and quite spicy too? Actually I'm finding quite a few of the meals quite spicy, even the spag bol and I haven't even tried the spicy spaghetti yet! - cripes!
