Sugar highs don't exist in the general population, apparently.

Hi what a lovely idea, would be happy to donate to your great cause. I will look out for your reminder post and arrange to pop them over.

Good luck with your great cause, its heartwarming to see how important it is to think of others over the festive period.

I'm sorry, I may have been a bit harsh on this post, about thinking of the children's teeth, it's not my responsibility it's their parents and guardians and at Christmas it's "pants" having to be in hospital away from family and friends and not to be able to join in the Christmas traditions. (I was one of those children, long time ago) A little comfort from the community for the little ones over Christmas goes a long way. I would be more than happy to donate to your cause Fox_tail. When and where to drop things off, please let us know. x

Sweets Sugar =


Bad teeth.. Cavaties


Hyperactivity.. Behavioral problems


Weight gain.. Obesity


Diabetes.. Serious health risks in later life..


Sugar is addictive and will result in an endless cycle of craving sugar. We call it a 'Sweet Tooth'

But it is a serious problem often caused by parents giving their kids sweets in early life.

Overreacting to giving children in hospital sweets at Christmas =


Smugness.. Sanctimonious posturing


Friend loss.. unhappiness


Serious risk of Christmas alone in later life


As far as I understand it, they are not funnelling Quality Streets down kids throats to create Nutella Foie Gras. I am sure their parents will be around and maybe some doctors who might even sneak a segment of chocolate orange, do you know I once met a doctor who admitted to drinking ALCOHOL over the Christmas period. I of course informed the police and wrote to my MP.


So enjoy your Bah Humbug and M&S Christmas crackers for one. I'll certainly be donating now

I actually think you gave sweets to my daugther last Christmas in the Lion Ward! She absolutely loved them! A year later we are hoping she will be home for this Christmas and I just wanted to say little things like this make such a hard time more bareable!

Kids differ, if you want to keep my grand daughter awake just feed her a couple of squares of chocolate.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.

      Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?

      Seeking an English Lit A Level tutor to focus on Othello

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
