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

Thank you dulwich61 you are a star! Hope your dad is ok too! I will send out a reminder nearer the time, thank you again!

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

ooops sorry lavender, hadn't read your second post before my above post.

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.


DulwichFox

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

Hiya, i will be in by 6:30 all this week, but if you cant make this week then its cool as i wont be going up there till mid December, But feel free to text or call to arrange!

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!


:-)

Massive thank you to Laura, for the bag sweets and cards and colouring packs! Your a absolute legend!also I'm sorry if I don't reply to you guys straight away,it's purely because of work, so the best thing would be to chuck me a text or call... Have a wicked evening!!

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

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
