Am I the only woman on this thread who wouldn't mnid if her husband did go away for a long time???? Must be 'cos I am older and have no kids!! I find DH a bit of a kid sometimes.......

Has anyone seen the manflu videoclip - just type man flu into you tube and check out the one where the guy called the ambos.....

I went and did a bit of a shop at Coles today - rarely go there as I get most of my stuff at organic shops and my local IGA but somtimes I go to the big supermarket....and it takes me forever as I wander around looking at stuff.....

Three things I noticed.

The amount of sugar in flavoured water. They aren't really sweet but they have a lot of sugar in them. I used to drink them occasionally but I think I will drink the real stuff instead.

I also love ginger - for the first time I looked at the calories - about 100 per serve and there are 6 serves per pack and I can eat a whole pack....oops....never thought about it before.

Freedom foods in the health isle now have this great 100 calorie concept. Breakfast bars, biscuits, cereal and other goodies - all 100 calories or less per serve and free from crappy preservatives and artificial stuff. I bought some of their spicy apple biscuits last week and liked them - have only had two as that was the 100 calories.

I like their concept as most food aimed at dieters is so heavily altered and artificial so I bought their breakfast bars as well and will see how they go.

I have a job interview tomorrow and so have stocked up with good stuff to take to the office. Need to go an earn money again. Been off for 4 months but it has flown as I have been so busy travelling and then organising the house....

Better go to bed......my cat is laying on the mouse, patting my arm and giving my 'come to bed' looks.....

Lucky my husband is away.......
