Sorry to do this to your children's stockings, but am just working on the new Waitrose offers and they have 99 wines on offer during the rest of Nov and early Dec.

Perhaps we can get our tasting bottle from there. Should have them up straight after breakfast.

quickly scoffs down porridge in anticipation....

salt/sugar/goldensyrup/soft brown sugar/double cream/whisky?

only ever sweet porridge.
I don't understand the salt thing

Raisins this morning. Sugar or golden syrup both work too

yet to try whiskey option.....

A ladle of home made jam goes into mine every morning, cant beat it.

My favourite, which I do more often than is healthy, is a pinch of salt during cooking, so the flavour is embedded, with soft brown sugar (not muscovado, but the beige one) and about a tablespoon of double cream. The sugar is folded in a little and the cream sits on top to be included a bit at a time.

So glad I'm now on a diet in an attempt to be fabulous by christmas/new year.

I make my porridge with milk, not tried cream. Will give it a go.

You should do what my wife does when she thinks about starting a diet. Nothing.

a woman after my own heart....

I love food, I love wine.

Very little chance of me cutting back on these just for the sake of keeping trim. Not like I do either in excess (altho having a pub downstairs selling home made pork crackling is a massive temptation to beat off !!)

anyway, could be hit by a bus tomorrow.... (note to self, don'tt go running in front of buses just to justify eating food you enjoy)

A few yrs ago having stopped smoking, I put on a load of weight. Went on a diet for 18 months and lost 14kg and 3" off the waist acheiving a BMI 0f 24%. I looked good, but felt awful; every little knock felt like I'd broken something, and I felt kinda weedy withit.
Have let some of it drift back on slowly as I really was not enjoying life.

isn't it amazing how all our threads seem to go off the beaten track nowadays !

from Waitrose offfers - porridge - dieting.

We never even got to see the Waitrose offers !!!

Ah! but diet and Waitrose wine hate each other...

Yes, it pissed down and we ended up playing naked twister in the caravan.

Could you manage a photo of that along with the coins please?

The waitrose offers have been on the site, with notes since just after breakfast. I make it with milk but add the cream.
