Hello.
Thanks for helpful comments yesterday, given me some ideas.
Am on day 2 of strict gluten free. Am bloody starving ha. But that because it's Monday and it's our rush day - as the Bangles sang. Normally would grab a few cheesey pittas but have had crispbread instead and olives. Going to reheat yesterdays stew for supper when I pick up son later. So looking forward to it already. No time for breakfast or lunch today so had a banana and yoghurt in between tasks at work today. Will get in order eventually with it all I'm sure and as soon as things calm down timewise will be able to cook some proper meals. Probably by Wed.
If I can keep this going for 2 weeks will be interesting to see if it makes a difference. It's probably a coincidence but my back and legs are comfortable and my neck, which is always sore recently, is manageable.
Was such a frosty morning that de icing the car made us late leaving for school. It turned out the ice we were scraping away at was in the car. Is that normal? On the way back a van decided it wanted to be in the exact spot I was in at a busy roundabout. A huge swerve avoided disaster as he (definitely was) sailed away unconcerned and I think unaware of me. From the erratic way he turned the corner he was either lost or ....well a bad word that I shouted loudly at him.
I then spent nearly an hour on the phone to the council about a £300 council tax bill they have sprung on me to pay by the new year. With that and the error on my rent account I think I would have been better off by not working this month. Or at the least I will be a very few pounds better off. I know people say it's because benefits are so high - it really isn't honest. Last winter was really choosing between eating or heating. I didn't expect it to be like this again now I'm working. Although I really do love this job and at least I'm not home freezing(try not to put heating on unless both of us are home). Anyways all of that was before I got to work ha.
I tell you what no matter if we only break even for a while at least I'm not signing on. Probably if I have the chance to increase my hours in time things will get better. Just imagine if I hated my job.
Oh and good news will see a friend tomorrow who is an expert in gluten free living, timing or what.

Good luck with the gluten free fortnight. I found it really difficult to start with as gluten is in so many things I wouldn't have thought of, not just the obvious. I found myself googling everything to see if there was gluten in it. I'm sure your friend will be a great help x
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's everywhere isn't it. Even soya sauce has it, which is ruling our stir frys. I know there are alternatives but they are pricey. I'm trying to spend excessively on it as it's not a medical thing but was trying to keep gluten out full for a fortnight. I suspect it will creep back after a while as even the condensed soup I use to make bakes has it. x
