    Angela I love Soreen malt loaf with loads of butter and easily eat a whole one but 2 :eek:, love jam & clotted cream scones. Actually I just love all kinds of cake the only thing is as I am getting older I do not seem to be able to burn it off so quickly and have put on weight, ah well it will keep me warm in this cold weather :rotfl:

    I love cupcakes! Greggs have an amazing cupcake at the minute, with frosting icing :) yummy. Its from the Valentines range though, and I hate valentines this year lol.

    I ate 2 because it was really cold when I was trying to cut them and the slices came out strange so it didn't seem like I was eating that much! Luckily they are very low in fat.

    Hope so but the amount I normally do counteracts my occasional treats, not everyday.

    Noticing all these 'no toiletry' etc challenges I think I'll have to start a no cakes, crisps or books one.

    How did you get on today with M & S?


    I just bought dh's valentines card in there and a couple of valentines chocs for my dd and ds
    I did look at the remnants of the sale but they were awful. Still regretting not buying the coat. But I would have regretted buying it. It's not easy being me :)

    I'm going to do a Mystic Meg - I predict that very soon you will set your heart on something else in there and your love affair with the coat will all be forgotten LOL
