    Cognac is really nice and warming at this time of year. :) It goes especially well with cheese but that’s quite decadent!

    @chiarieds sorry to hear a out your monitor troubles. At least you have a backup. Maybe it’s time to buy a nice new one as a Christmas present to yourself?

    Yes there does seem to be some cheap pricing going on with vegetables. I saw some potatoes for 29p down from 99p in Tesco and also some asparagus for 59p down from £2!

    The local Tesco has a bin at the front door filled with loose carrots, and a sign saying take one for Rudolph

    Just measured my blood pressure as a family member just got a machine.

    Mine is approximately 150/100 which is apparently quite high but not a crisis.

    Might have to see my doctor about it in the new year.

    I am always nervous and on edge which apparently can have something to do with it.

    Might have to start eating and drinking less. :blush:

    Thanks @woodbine for the tip. I will see the GP about it. You may be right about medication but if I'm being honest with myself I do indulge in more food than I perhaps should and on average I drink more than 2 units a day, so maybe some lifestyle changes are needed as well.

    @66Mustang It's good that you've detected it early.  I've just checked on the NHS blood pressure chart and it does read a little high.  This official advice is to book an appointment with your GP or practice nurse in the next month or so, so don't forget to get it checked :)

    @woodbine Well done on the weight loss, it's surprising what we can achieve by cutting out those sweet treats.

    Thanks for looking that up @Cher_Scope. I will be sure to see the GP in the new year! :)
