Thanks Bijoux I think you could be right about the water thing as I've usually had my quota by now but still got about 1/2 litre to go, and I like my baths hot!! Just had my last porridge of the day which I love. Feeling much better now.

that sounds like a plan once I can have bars I think thats what I'll do but have my porridge in the evenings - I can have a shake in the car travelling to my appointments. A strange thing today though I had a shake at 10.00am and then porridge at 4pm went for a soak in the tub :0bathtime:and...

I tried the cheese and broccoli and after 2 spoons it went in the bin - I then made leek and potato which wasn't too bad The best I've had so far has been the mushroom, but will give the Oriental Chilli a try. Any flavour shakes you think are worth avoiding!! :confused:

Hey bevy How you doing today?? I ahve had a hungry day today but hopefully it will pass - oh well heres to day 4 :D

The porridge well if I made it correctly (i followed the instructions) - it was thick and had oats in it so tasted like porridge from real oats as opose to ready brek if that makes sense, I guess you could add more water to it to thin it out but I liked it and they have another flavour cinimon...
