I crochet and cross stitch when I get time. I am currently crocheting granny squares for a blanket for our motorhome, boring cream though not pretty colours like yours.

I did a bed cover for my mother about 20 years ago. All white, triple crochet, and a rose pink scalloped edge. Then each corner had a rose and a leaf. Double size, but it was a labour of love. 🙂

After she passed, my sisters said I should take it, do now it is on our bed.

I'm surprised you can manage a banana and hot choc sachet without pushing the sugars up? x

To see if certain foods work or not just the same as your evening meal so before and 2 hours after, I would imagine that all the fruit without the addition of fat isn't a great way to be managing things though, most folk will have the addition of cheese or something with fat in it to slow the absorption of the carbs and sugar, yes although natural fruit can still have a big impact on levels, is there a reason you are eating mostly a fruit based diet? Also unless you like it to be less 3mmol isn't that big a difference and ideally its a 2-3mmol rise you are looking for, do you watch your carbohydrate intake? Sorry for bombarding you with questions!! 😳 xx

Inflation. Last night we were doing the weekly shop (for ASDA delivery today.) We are very routine people. I make a menu every week. I do the line for ASDA. I finished the order, and then for a lark, went into our shopping history and chose the shop that was almost to the date one year old. Threw it into the trolly to cost it.

£60 a year ago now would cost £85 today!
I looked back at the list. Nothing was on it that we wouldn't order in an ordinary week.

I had no idea.

Poor, poor Sadhbh.
😱

Not only inflation @SadhbhFiadh but also exchange rate changes and the effect of Brexit dare I say. I cannot see it improving in the near future.
I noticed a significant increase in food costs when I came back to the UK in December for 1 month. 🙂 If you had tie to track the changes on a monthly basis you can see when it really started to impact consumer prices.
