Only 11 spuds John! I dare say you would eat the other 5, you greedy devil !

He must be dieting.

Sounds like you've got your sense of humour back devonlady    I hope you're feeling better now and starting to eat a bit more

When I was poorly as a child we were always given lucozade although I always thought the best bit was the orange cellophane it came in. Everything feels better when the world is orange!


Now it is scrambled eggs or a light soup. Or my favourite is an egg poached in broth!

Im sorry to hear that you have been unwell Devonlady and i hope that youre feeling a little better now I eat stewed apple, usually an eating
apple stewed as they're the sweetest. Also as someone suggested dry toast. If it is a bug in the stomach when coming off a starve dry toast is the best; no milky products at all or the bug could come back. If however it is just a virus and not a stomach bug yoghurt is very soothing and nourishing. You could also try it with the stewed apple if you like. I agree about a light soup or broth, very nourishing and helps you regain your strength.

I am living on Lucozade at the moment! I still can't manage more than a mouthful of anything else. Anyone wanting to kick start a diet? I could breathe a few germs into an envelope for you!

Such a kind offer Devonlady, but no thanks     I find that any weight I knock off when I'm ill comes right back on.

Nan always gave us honey, …she always maintained that would keep the energy levels up, that along with fresh orange juice

[Gabardine Angus]

We swear by Heinz tomato soup (in a cup) with a side of chuckied egg sandwiches.....must be made on cheap plastic bread though. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the offer Devonlady, but I think I will pass this time I am already on a diet and I have the feeling that I am coming down with the flu. I think it's time In reached for all the vitamin C I can lay my hands on
