Thanks for the lovely comments guys.

The mug comes from a batch my parents had made in around 1987 to raise money and awareness. The smallest batch the factory would do was 5000 – hence we were selling these things for many years! Sadly they sold out a few years ago and just a rare few remain in my cupboards ready to feature in appropriate photo opportunities.

Great picture. I thought the mug was neat, then scrolled down to the spoon as I was reading. It always seems like so much, but it’s so little…and so much.

Totting it up I put in about 60-ish units a day. Interesting that we’re all fairly different.

Wow.
What. An. Image.

I never thought of it that way either. I’m on ave. at 40u, maybe a bit less.
Seeing that image and thinking I take less, it still seems like such a Huge amount. (probably because it’s kinda vital, eh?)

Thank you for this Alison! What a great idea. And again, what an image.
