On Monday I am having a colonoscopy. For those of you who are lucky enough not to have any idea what I'm talking about, lookie here:

I'm not expecting it to be pleasant although I am going down the sedation route.( A surprising number of people opt out).DH is taking a day off so I'm trying to see it as a day off childcare duties.
Anyhoooo- the point of this post is, for two days before the 'procedure'( ie from tomorrow), I am only allowed to eat cheese, white bread, butter, eggs and potato without skin! I am also allowed to drink clear fluids so am wondering if white wine or gin is permitted.
After 18 months of eating pretty much what I please, it feels very strange to be about to be restricted in what I'm eating and I'm experiencing a classic 'feast before mentality' famine!
Off to do the school run now but I'm going to blog about this whole thing over the weekend, so will be back.
