Feeling a bit blah.  I'm fasting for my blood test tomorrow but earlier I had a cup of coffee which always makes me feel wierd, especially on an empty stomach.  And I can't even eat something now to make me feel better! :(  So I'm very tired, but I'll write a bit:

I got two really good books from a shop in Campbeltown called The Old Bookshelf.  The books are called Every Woman's book of Health and Beauty and the Wonder Book of Science . I haven't looked at the Science book yet, but the health and beauty one is brilliant!!  I think it's from the late 1930's, and one of it's tips is to put peroxide, lemon juice and face cream on a fading sun tan to speed up that irritating "dirty face" stage!!!!  I'm sure I will post many other pieces of "wisdom" as I come across them in the book.  The diet plans are amazing though.  in those days people seemed to eat: a large meal in the morning (bacon etc, as well as 5-6 slices of toast!), a small lunch, and then a large meal in the evening OR : a large brekkie, large lunch and small dinner.  I think that not eating breakfast is where many dieters go wrong nowadays.  I think tomorrow I'll post some sample breakfast menus from the book.

More tomorrow, after I've had a good meal and my blood test is over!!
