We had Christmas lunch at 2pm turkey etc.

The fridge is calling me but I have period pains from hell and feel like my insides may fall out if I stand up Xmas Sad

Painkillers aren’t helping, will cheese, chocolate and alcohol?

What have you eaten so far today?

Hope you feel better soon, OP. Paracetamol and codeine painkillers were a game changer for me (endo).
Porridge
Pizza & coleslaw
Full turkey dinner
Mango Moscow mule from a kit - lovely!
Looking forward to a fondant fancy with a father christmas on top.

IfIwasablackbird · 25/12/2021 21:03

Oooooh I think I might ‘win’ today…

Clementines, cup of tea, smoked and fruit for breakfast, cup of tea, soup and bread midday, Christmas dinner (including alllll the trimmings) 2pmish with a glass of champagne, pudding (Christmas crumble) at 5ish and now a bit of minty chocolate.
5 or so cups of tea between and while doing things. Blush
Not sure I’ll ever eat again but the champagne is out again now the children are in bed!

Grawlix · 25/12/2021 21:05

A slightly elderly pain au chocolat for breakfast (virtuously using up stocks in the freezer), cup of coffee.

A couple of mini sausage rolls and a few nachos when two family members came to deliver presents and stayed for an hour or two (only family we're seeing this year).

At 2pm, roast turkey, ham - DH's family tradition which he insists on - pigs in blankets, sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes and gravy.

Christmas pudding at about 4.30 - only a meagre spoonful for me as I don't really like it. DH had a glass of red wine all day and I had sparkling water as I don't drink.

DH has had an apple and a tangerine, and we've both just had a lebkuchen, but other than that, nothing else as we're both still too full. My mind thinks it wants a little something else but my stomach says no!

Grawlix · 25/12/2021 21:19

OP glad you're feeling a bit better now. Former endo sufferer here so I feel your pain (literally).

If you haven't got one already, a TENS machine might be useful, when you can get hold of one....not sure if that's been mentioned yet.

Madein1995 · 26/12/2021 00:35
