I like all kinds of stuff, I don't stick to cereals cos too much sugary stuff in our house, I sometimes have a cooked brekkie if hubby is home, toast very rarely. I am a bad breakfast eater cos I hardly ever have any, if I do it is normally something very odd, are there any more like this out there.

This morning I had a cup of leek soup :D :D


3 Boiled Egg's, Marmite Soldiers, Orange Juice and Coffee

So, what did you have this morning JB, some left-over leek soup?

I am a slow riser and the longer I leave it to put something in my stomach, the better as I otherwise feel like picking on something all day. Strange really. I never knew it was common to feel nauseous in the mornings. Ever since I can remember, I had that problem. I need to set the alarm clock at least 30 minutes before having to get up to give my body a gentle push towards the day ahead. While I was still at school, I had the radio wake me up one hour before having to get up which was 5am and the alarm clock at 6 to tell me 'get your ass out of bed NOW!' Whenever I was in a holiday camp and they cruely awakened us and expected us to jump out of bed there and then, I was in trouble. Once, they literally pulled me out of bed and I collapsed. That tought them a lesson not to touch me. I would also end up in a really foul mood all day if not given the time to rise and shine.

The only time I don't seem to have a problem to shoot out of bed is when I realize, I have overslept. My son woke me up a couple of days ago at 7.15 asking so nicely if there was no school today. I wish my face would have been on tape in that moment. :scared:

That's good then I am not alone :p

Good luck at CC karen, I don't envy you that trip, I hate going anywhere near that place just too far. Now when the Gardens Mall and the ski slope open up you will not see me around here for I will be shopping :D


I was just talking to someone recently about the two shopping malls and how I might suddenly re-discover window shopping and be torn between this site and the shops. I used to be familiar with every single shop in Bournemouth and had no problems getting what I needed for the right price at the right place. Bournemouth was just the right size for me to store everything in my brain but I am just not used to comprehend a big city. Have always lived surrounded by a max of 200,000 people. Not too small, not too big. I never thought, I would find shopping at Choithrams satisfactory enough. When I initially moved here, I had to go to Carrefour but soon realized it wasn't for me and had to resize but have now noticed that really, I need to get out into the real world and be surrounded by people more often but just can't be bothered to drive to the city with the clock ticking in my mind having to pick up the kids on time and forget trips to the malls with the kids. Only for Birthday parties.

So, I am well excited to have something on my doorstep soon and start familiarizing myself with what the market is like.

Can't stand Marmite or Jam, don't drink coffee, tea and alcohol either, EVER!

Other than that, I could probably eat anything for early lunch.
