And did you know that she seems to have some sort of OCD? One programme, when she stayed overnight at one of her victims' houses, they showed her cleaning her teeth or something, and she was wiping the taps with a tissue or cloth or something. Like she was scared of germs. And she brought her own bedding.

Creepy.

Our Gill's just been officially de-Doctored, it said so on popular Leeds breakfast show You and Yours.
Someone I know had mates worked on her show. Apparently there's a very fine art to filming her so she doesn't look like a mad hunchbacked dwarf.

Ugh! Ginger!! Ugh ugh ugh! Although, having said that, Tesco's lemon cheesecake with a ginger base is very lovely. Plain orange and carrot smoothies are OK, actually (and they *feel* very healthy) although I think we overdid the carrots the other day and it was all a bit, um, 'rustic'. Mike's tastebuds are broken: he's tasting carrot in everything, even when it's not there.

Carrot and ginger soup is yummy - I made it a couple of weeks back but didn't think to note down the quantities. I think it's a ratio of about 1 to 3 ginger to carrots, plus veggie stock (2 carrots and 400ml stock makes enough soup for one).

Just felt compelled to say, what a bright, wonderful - and very pink! - place your blog is. Unfortunately, I have no advice to offer - except to give the poor sixteen year old his or her skin back. :)

Carrot and orange with a sprinkle of ginger's the one. Careful with the gurgly pain, or your Wetworld may emerge sooner than expected...

God, I wish! Already the novelty's wearing off, but I've got half a dozen bottles of fruity muck in the freezer, two papayas, two kiwi fruits and two pomegranates left, so the pain isn't over yet. Particularly the gurgle, farty pain I got in my stomach last week, just after I'd started on this lark. Hmph!

After yet another week riddled with some virus which apparenlty should only be able to infect mayflies and other creatures with no immune system, my doctor has told me to give up smoking, eat less 'Scottish' food and try a vegetable or piece of fruit for the first time since I was 10.

J and the kids love all that veg and fruit stuff, so they've been making me smoothies all week - do they all have to taste so bloody sickly though?

Is there no such thing as, I don't know, a vitamin packed pork chop and roast potatoes smoothie? Preferably one you could drink in quite small quantities in order that it doesn't impact quite so much on my usual caffiene and tannine imbued drinks?

Oooh, will do! Might let the flavours of the other...

Oooh, will do! Might let the flavours of the other fruits through a bit better. And we've got a hand-blendery-whooshy thing - should try it.

As Mrs Smith told me a while back, try apple juice as a base.

I just use a hand blender to smoosh mine though, none of this fancy kit.
