Hi everyone,


I have Type 1 Diabetes (bore) and I've just signed up to Swim 22 (2017) to swim 22 miles for the fantastic charity - Diabetes UK. The challenge takes place in February - May 2017 and I will be swimming 1408 lengths in Dulwich Leisure Centre. I'm pretty unfit so this will be major for a fatty batty like me! I'm pretty passionate about this and wanted to share my story with East Dulwich! If you want to take part as well, you can register here: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Get_involved/Fundraising-events/Swim22/


I also run audio projects for children (and ocassionally adults) as my day job http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/ I've been talking to the charity about potentially creating audio diaries with people taking part in the challenge to hopefully appear on their website/social media so if you know anyone taking part or you have a story and would like me to record it, please do get in touch!


If you would like to donate to this awesome charity, my page is here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Zoe-Byatt?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=20161011_92270#


Thank you so much to anyone reading this!! I currently cannot walk at the moment with an injury BUT I will be getting in the pool as soon as poss to get training!

      I imagine Franco Manca's business dropped off quite a bit when Yard Sale opened (though isn't Yard Sale delivery only?) But in any case, both of those are chains.

      Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car.  That's good of Sainsburys! We've done the apple pie and tart thing, an ongoing muesli thing and the coleslaw thing - just not sure what effect all the sugars are having on our digestive tracts.  If we were in Somerset and had a press, I'd consider it. Can't be that diffcult, can it?

      Apples Galore

      One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
