It should be a fast day, but it's my history group tonight with wine and mince pies, so instead I've had:

Boiled egg and toast.
Minestrone soup and bread, and one slice of ancient birthday cake found at the bottom of the freezer.
Half a dozen dates, a pear, two apples.
And DH is making a mushroom risotto for tea.

So far
1 coffee
3 teas
Smoked mackerel salad.
Gammon, eggs and tomatoes for tea.

Today - a boiled egg and filter coffee for breakfast. We've just had lunch at a local carvery. I had turkey, sprouts, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, one roast potato (with a view to being semi good with the Christmas onslaught due), gravy and a small glass of Pino. Very nice it was too.

I have used Orajel which was the only thing which worked on a nasty mouth ulcer once, but it is very strong.

A merlot mouthwash could work!

I asked DH to buy me some Bonjela, Jalima but he was in a Jack in the Beanstalk mood and came back with Extra Strength Orajel which the pharmacist assured him was much better.

I wanted some nice soothing Bonjela rather than have my whole face numbed. I'll stick to alcoholic analgesia in future.

Try Bonjela merlogran - it does help!

ps it's not a good idea to rub salt into a wound
Ouch

DH has just cooked a delicious fry up.

I've been under the weather with a sore mouth due to whacking my lower gum with the toothbrush on Sunday. To add insult to injury I ate a handful of salted peanuts later in the day. Very silly. OUCH!! Haven't felt like eating much so this morning I was starving.

Soup for lunch and macaron cheese for supper.

Yesterday 3 bottles of Ensure , 2 rice cakes with honey

Today the same

Chicken soup is enough to make me feel ill yet for others a panacea ...
One person's meat is another's poison ?

My children always have Heinz tomato soup when they are ill, definitely comfort food
Maggiemaybe I agree.
Gilly try clear fluids water or lemonade and dry toast, just little and often. Hope you feel better soon.

Yesterday, I had:

Special K,

met my friend and we had fish & chips, chocolate and orange bread & butter pudding with ice cream

toast with jam, 1 pear

Today, Thursday...

Chocolate Slimfast

Banana Slimfast

vegetable soup, a buttered cob (roll, call it what you will)
a pear, 2 cups of coffee

Tea, coffee
2 boiled eggs with one small slice of GI bread + a pear
Cup of tea
Baked cod with prawns. Broccoli
Bowl of berries with Greek yogurt. Glass of water

Today has been a fast day.

A pear and a few grapes.
Half a dozen crab sticks (haven't had them for years, but just fancied some).
A tin of Heinz tomato soup with one slice of wholemeal bread.
And a few cups of coffee/tea.

I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast.

Yesterday
Porridge with honey and mug of tea
Mug of coffee mid morning 2 oat crumble biscuits.
Ham and pickle sandwich, mug of coffee.
Mug of tea and a mince pie.
One pot beef casserole with carrots, parsnips, leek and potato. Yoghurt.
Small glass semi skimmed milk and two crackers with cheese.
Today
Two fried eggs, two hash browns and two sausages. Mug of tea.
I've no idea what I'll have later as going shopping and cinema.

It sounds a long while without food gilly, perhaps as river suggests move away from tea. Some soup? Dry toast or a ginger biscuit? Only tiny amounts of whatever you choose. Hope you’re better very soon.

I hope you feel better soon, gilly.

For some reason, the only thing that I can ever manage when I’m off my food is Heinz soup, sometimes chicken but usually tomato.

If you're not well Gilly you can't force yourself to eat - you'll just have to sip on fluids until you can face food.

Maybe some very weak fruit teas to ring the changes - there's something very 'taniny' about normal tea when you're unwell and tastebuds awry. Hope you feel better soon.

Yesterday didn’t want breakfast, there was a jacket potato and salad at lunch time, a scone and butter at the garden centre, cheese and one gf crispbread in the evening with a vodka and tonic. The usual many mugs of tea.

Just begun the day with gf toast and butter. Not sure what will follow .

I haven’t eaten a thing since Monday and the thought of eating now makes me nauseous. Any suggestions on how to get going ? I’m struggling with a cup of tea right now .

Following my breakfast of eggs & spinach

M&S Coquilles St Jacques - looks so pretty in the shell but can be scoffed in about three bites! Plus 2 sourdough crispbreads

Rump steak, coleslaw and various bits of leftover veg, 2 glasses of white wine

I'm trying to eat out of fridge/freezer before doing yet another shop - amazing what's tucked away!
