    Cheer up 115K - perhaps you could compromise and just have choccy. You'll probably feel even worse if you cave in to temptation!

    Thanks Maman, I followed your advice. I went to the shop and walked straight past the alcoholic drinks aisle and bought 2 choccie bars, 1 can of fizzy drink and 2 magazines. One of the magazines is called Now and one is called New and they both have Jordan on the cover so I should be an expert on her by tonight. (:eek:)

    I got my foot spa out last night and I'm going to paint my toenails later and I have to dye my hair tonight so I should have enough distractions for one day.

    So that will be 5 days AF.:j
