Went to ASDA and ended up with a migraine (hideously bright lighting) which has now cleared but the tab's have left me feeling washed out. Grrrrr!

Many years ago, one of my drinking pals and his wife were having difficulty conceiving. It went on for ages, various "mainstream" techniques and treatments were tried, to no avail. In desperation, his wife started investigating various "quack" remedies, most of which seemed to involve immersing his 'bits" in either very hot, or, very cold liquids.

That's what I found with sweeteners when I was cutting down on sugar, before cutting it out altogether.
I was just looking at the label on a bottle of semi-skimmed milk. I was surprised to see that it contains almost 5% 'sugars', which I assume is lactose? So, even if you cut out added sugar, you still get a small amount of sweetness from the milk (assuming that you drink your tea milky). It is much more subtle than teaspoons of sugar, but once your taste buds settle down (which they will, quite quickly) you can detect it. I certainly wouldn't fancy tea without milk!
MrsD is affected by that. We used to shop at JTF (closed now) but she had to sit in the car.....the lights made her really ill.

I'm drinking black tea as I wander round Cyclechat, I also have my coffee black, I wouldn't want milk or sugar in tea or coffee.

@Mo1959 . We have just had one of those Wiltshire Food meals. This was roast beef dinner.
As you know, our appetites are poor at the moment so we shared one.
Beef, roast potatoes, sprouts, carrots, gravy.
You are able to micro or oven cook...we chose micro.
Surprisingly good. The beef was so tender.
Gravy was tasty.
Can't fault it really.
If you can get the offer of 4 with 50% off I say go for it.

From my facebook page this morning,
Lol, I thought a balanced diet was a pie in one hand and a pint in the other.

Spent the day wandering around what used to be called Borrowstounness before it got shortened to Bo’ness. Most enjoyable. Lots of birds, lots of views, lots of history. Including the end of the Antonine Wall and the shed at Kinneil House where James Watt did his early work on steam engines before his move to Birmingham. And there’s a steam railway too.

I don't get them often but when I do I use Mrs SD's Cluster Headache* drugs and it zaps them real fast.
* Migraine = domestic moggy. Cluster Headaches = Enraged Sabre Tooth Tiger.
Hideous things: although she suffers less now post-menopause.

Hi folks managed a short ride today....15-18mph headwind phew i was telling myself it was good for my legs but was glad to turn around and head home.
Whats with the anti sugar thing? I like a tsp in my coffee but not bothered if i ran out. I dont see moderate use of sugar as a problem...would've thought having a balanced diet with lots of fruit n veg is more important but hey ho each to their own

Off out in a bit to a posh hotel reception being run by Girl Guiding, where Mrs D will be getting her award for 10 years of volunteering. Normally I shy away from such things, but the invitation said "light refreshments", which Im hoping will be sausage rolls, crisps, that sort of thing. If theres one thing I like more than a carb laden nosh up if a free carb laden nosh up.
