Occasional Scribbles

Keeping a bit quiet on the Diet Diaries, haven’t done as well as I set out to do.  Errm, less than a week to go to my Niece’s wedding which i’ve had a whole year to prepare for and i’m way off course.  Well not way off, waylaid though recently. Since last week, when I could have done so much more, i’ve been struck down with Pleurisy or something.  Have been glued almost, to the sofa, though have managed to carry out all usual motherly and domestic duties and Skinny has still had her walks, not enough as she is really now on her way to being renamed ‘fatty’.

The good thing is, I have been able to keep my pulse on the hot button that is politics at the moment and with so much in the news, it’s been thoroughly entertaining.  I have written other posts and grumbles on recent events, but I must just say, congratulations to David Davis for his courage in seeking to bring about a wider debate over the erosion of our ancient liberties that this Government has been incrementally giving away.  I do hope the Conservatives will fully support him and not get all cross that he deflected attention away from the bribery that was going on by Brown over the 42 days extension.  I am sure that story will come back again when Davis gets campaigning for our freedoms.

So, back to the diet, Mum enthusiastically rang me to tell me about a detox diet called the Lemon Detox Diet as she said it was by all reports an excellent way to lose weight, get lovely nails, skin and hair and generally be refreshed.  Unfortunately I cannot take advantage of it with my wretched Pleurisy problem as am full of anti biotics and steroids.  However, I do have it here ready to get on with I am better.  The only thing is, it arrived without any instructions at all and I think I am meant to do something with lemons and water?  Does anyone have any info that would be helpful or indeed any encouraging successes about this detox? Any succes I have will be reported here of course.
