Thanks for dropping by guys - good advice too
I've been feeling a bit poorly today with a sore throat and can feel a headache lurking not too far away. I suspect it's only man flu

but coming down with something is something I've worried about, ie if I'm sick, am I going to be able to resist those little treats to make me feel better? I'm sure I will be okay, but it does sit in the back of my mind.
Anyway, I'm not going to fret over it right now 'cos it's the weekend!

And If I can juuuust drag out the onset of illness for a day or two, at least I can take a day off work if I need to

There's nothing worse than being ill on a weekend and getting better for Monday morning! lol
Right, today's food has seen a first for me! We've got two girls in the office who come from Stoke-on-Trent which is a town in the North of Staffordshire. Now, whereas if you travel anywhere else in the entire known English speaking world you will find pretty much the same cuisine, if you travel to Stoke you may as well be on the planet zog when it comes to some of their dishes and we managed to persuade our two 'Stokies' to provide examples for us, which they did.
Today I had oatcake for the first time (apparently there are 2 types, this is the North Staffs version) and in it, a measly helping of cheese. I have to say that despite my initial reservations, it was absolutely delicious and I'd recommend it anytime. Next week they might be bringing in another Stoke delicacy in the form of 'lobby' - no, I'd never heard of that either! lol
So (and after changing apple types to one I like better)...
Brekkie - weetabix 210
Stokie tasting - oatcake 300
lunch - tuna salad & apple 225
snack - apple 75
tea - beans on toast (with basil! lol) 541
Leaving a total so far today of
1351. Hmm, not as much as I though! Better beef it up with a cucumber sandwich later, so lets say 1465 ish.
It was market today today so on the way back from my 1.6 mile walk I dropped in and got a new work belt. It has 7 notches and I'm starting on the third one in - 4 to go then! Can't wait to go back and get another one
Thanks for dropping by again
