    I went to Harrods just before my first Interrail trip, and I was desperate to buy something, so I bought a tea strainer. I ended up in Greece, which is how I know the Greek word for tea strainer - sirotiri (don't know how to spell it, natch :D)

    Evening Hypno and friends. Hope you're well today. Well done on resisting the evil Dr Choc :A

    Actually, my sister got me some for Christmas - Dr Chocolate "Take 6oz and call me in the morning! " :rotfl:

    I did have a creme egg......but it was within my available points, so ok.

    It's the 9 kitkats I have stashed in my office drawer that I will be doing battle with tomorrow :o I am hoping that the thought of weigh in on Wednesday will help my resolve though!

    It's silly but I still dream abou creme eggs ,but they're so sweet that I've not managed to eat one for years. Crunchies have now been added to the too sweet list :( Well maybe it should be smiley due to not eating the calories :)

    Well done on the cheap coach prices, and also on not having to drive so you can relax and enjoy the day more too without the long drives.

    The beauty of that is you can have a bit of what you fancy every day and it not hurt. The danger comes when you have to cut it out altogether.

    I'm with you on the binges to feel better (ultimately worse though :() and wonder why women in particular do this? I could easily eat a few kitkats in one go and they are not even my choc "drug" of choice....

    Lucky that they are in your drawer at work!

    I like dark chocolate......and really good quality stuff at that.

    But some days, the crappest of all crappy cheap chocolate will suffice......and barely touch the sides (although it does seem to find its way to my thighs, bizarrely!)
