    Its worse smelling it skinty...omg i am a pig when it comes to freshly baked bread..:(

    aren't we all, especially still warm dripping with butter:drool:.

    DS made me another fruit salad tonight which I enjoyed while watching some Wallace and Gromit with him...was only later when I went into the kitchen I realised that he'd used the raw meat chopping board:eek:_pale_:eek:... Have explained the difference to him now!

    At last I am proud to report a NSD:D!
    First day back at work and I found that much harder on the diet, umpteen tins of chocs and christmas cake floating around - lovely that folk want to share but hard on the willpower. The thought that I'd paid out for WW so would be wasting money if I gave in helped, managed to stick with it and just had a lovely chilli, cheese chicken thing for dinner (found in Rosemary Connelly mag), DS loved it too so will do that again - only 3.5 points so good going.

    Time off agreed so travel sites being browsed;)..

    My dad said it was -9 at mine when he came up this morning:eek:!

    Bob, I might be having an NSD but I hate to think of the gas bill, actually shall just have to be extra frugal on that score when it starts thawing cos the idea of frozen, burst pipes really scares me so it's not going off again:D.

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It's sooooo cold! and forecasts aren't predicting a thaw - my bills shall be humungous!
    On a MS note - shopping was uber cheap as there were no goodies or alcohol in there! There were a few WW choc brownie pudding things in as Mr Ts are doing them for a pound at the moment (for two) and they are 3 points but bluddy fantastic:D! Went to pound stretcher and bought a cheapo halogen heater for DS's room and a new light shade as the one he had wouldn't take low energy bulbs and he spends most of his life in there now so should save me a few pennies;).
