I was quite used to hearing my kids complaining, but not my kidneys. They have never been mention before except in connection with steak and pudding. 🤔
It is the ready made meals. I don’t know why they contain so much salt. I don’t put salt on food and hardly use any in cooking. But, recently more and more I’m eating those ready made things which seem to contain so much salt and fat that I wonder if there’s room for any other ingredients in there.

Evil things. Being housebound I have ended up watching alsorts. I've been using microwave ready meals for at least a couple of years as most days now not able to cook. I had no idea how much salt and sugar is in these things until I accidentally saw a program about ready meals. OMG I also love salt and vinegar on my chips. One ready meal has enough salt for at least 4/5 bags of chips. I know what I would prefer. I have half a spoon of sugar in my tea. One ready meal has a week's worth of the amount of sugar I would normally use. No more ready meals for me. Chip butties and a mug of tea for me. I will make sure to have a chicken salad in between my glasses of wine 🐔🥗🍷😊

My trouble is i’m hopeless in the kitchen, I was never allowed in there when my wife was alive. 😟
Chips without salt and vinegar, yep, criminal, no other word for it. Another thought Don, do you drink enough water????? Seems to be a failing as we get older. I know, another thing to add to the list ha! xx
Ha!ha!ha!ha! Sorry to laugh Don but this had me reeling and even worse having the dreaded water tablets, hopefully this will water the salt out if your system, dont mean to make light if the situation, but you are so funny x
Hi Don, After all these Wonderful Years of Fish n Chips with salt n Vinegar, Why Oh Why does a GP go and spoil it all. Just carry on as you are, we are all only here once. Mmmm Roll on Friday.....
I agree, if things get really bad I'll see if Skis with swap one of his kidneys for one of my lungs. 😉
Now that's a plan if ever I've heard one! Seriously though(only for 2,seconds.. too much salt isn't good so even a pinch less is helping your or Ski's kidneys!!!)
Yes, o can see you probably totally misheard the Doc when he said,...." Would putting bolts through your hips,help?" I mean what Doctor worth his SALT(lol) would mix up 'bolts' with 'salts' and 'hips' with 'chips'? I ask you?
I always forget what the doctors say the moment I leave the surgery. We have been spoilt today Don with two rhymes. I always read your rhymes to my wife, she thinks your odes are great.
Oh dear Don. I try to avoid salt but do still put it on chips! There is a lot of salt in many foods we eat though including things like bread, so investigate and either cut down or even cut out foods like this. x
I suppose I must. It's usually the Sister that tells me off about my eating habits in relation to my type 2 diabetes but now the doc has joined in about my kidneys. I know at 87 something is going to finish me off soon, but I don't want to start losing toes and feet like some of my friends did before they popped off. COPD gets forgotten amongst all this lot.
Hi don-1931. I have so much vinegar on my chips that it makes inside my mouth really sore, but i still do it everytime !!! I try to have less but it tastes too good. Loved the rhyme. maybe a few grains less? Love burs xxx
I was Buying expensive treatment for my Big Toe nails, They had turned yellow, That was a few years ago, Google, not my favourite place, But told me "White Vinegar" treats and heals, ever since using I have lovely white Toe nails. The cost of White Vinegar 27 pence, Got to try it if you have Nail Fungus. Good on Chips also. The Vinegar I mean, HAHA xxxxx
