Ouch, poor you. Have you got any hay fever tablets lurking in the cupboard? They might help.

Lemon and sugar for me.

More to the point, is it warm?

Oh no. That's so painful. One thing that did help my shoulder was spraying it with magnesium oil and massaging it in before going to bed. Also sleeping with my arm elevated on a spare pillow.

A very bad moment. Glad it is all sorted out now x

Oh, thank goodness! Absolutely not what you want.

Long time ago for me but yes, absolutely!

Alas.

Never mind that. It's 96 more calories than you had on board earlier. Well done x

Oh gods, my eyes...

Ah well. Try the packet soup. Or a marmite hot drink, even.

Good luck x

Probably best left in ignorance.

That looks like enormous fun!

It's possibly the meds suppressing your appetite, but yes, when you have had family around before, it does seem to have acted as a stimulus, so fingers crossed. How about soft boiled eggs with marmite toast?

15.02.2026 18:31 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

And if they are fairly tasteless, a spoonful of marmite mixed in with the boiling water usually does the trick.

Will it not say on the back of the packet? It's a requirement in the UK.

Tinned? Packet?
