Debt busting definately easier. I baked Twinks Hobnobs and muffins and birthday cakes last week ... all saved lots of cash and boys very happy - my jeans aren't tho.
Count me in for shifting both types of pounds please

Hello peeps!
Hopefully the hot weather is making you drink more water and has suppressed your appetite.
Today I have already troughed:
Crunchy nut cornflakes and a coffee
HM quiche and salad, crisps, yoghurt, satsuma and an apple
Diet coke
Guess what? Now I want chocolate. Think its boredom but I am so peckish. Me want to eat eat eat.
