Unfortunately I'm not carrying on with the psychologist, I'm afraid that the 6 hours round trip every 2 weeks just isn't possible for me to do at the moment so I'm having to go it alone again x

Speak to them and ask if you can do the consultations over the phone until transport issues can be addressed. You waited a long time for this - do not give up on it - there are always solutions.

What an excellent idea @grainger and a good suggestion @Kaylz

I have asked, they don't do over the phone, the transport issue will always be the same, it wasn't an easy decision to make but it has had to be done unfortunately, I am however going to ask the practice nurse when I'm up at the Dr in a couple of weeks if there is any help available closer through them x

A 6.9 for me this morning.

I’m sorry to hear that @Kaylz. The hospital is 3 hrs away by bus? Have they arranged it outside of your health authority area?

It's not a big hospital, it's a small health centre they are based at, there is no direct bus from my town to there so I have to go 10 miles in the opposite direction first, this would mean for a 2:30 appointment I would have to leave my house at 11:30 and it would in fact be more than 6 hours as I wouldn't get back until just after 6, I did a lot of research into it and its just not manageable x

I haven't had any protein bars from Aldi, but I do buy their Speciality nut bars. There are three types. One is chocolate & sea salt (5.9g per bar), chocolate & peanut butter (8g per bar) & chocolate & cranberry (which I think is around 16g per bar). I haven't tried the cranberry one as it's a bit high carb for me. All the other so called low carb or protein bars they sell are too high carb for my liking.

The sea salt one is 16g per bar & the Peanut butter one is 15g. That surprised me, I thought the peanut butter one would be more.
