    Hey everyone, hope you all had a good day. I was at college again, today's course was much more interesting than the other day. I made lunch to take with me, thinking it wasn't included today and then it was. Typical. Made the most of the free food and will use the stuff i had done for lunch towards dinner.

    How exciting about your shoes Jo, let us know how they go.

    Daisie, baking isn't the best but is tasty. Could you make a cake your OH will eat that you won't? That is what I would do.

    Good luck with the weigh ins everyone :)

    There is no baking I won't eat! (unless it contains egg or milk and thus would kill me....but I can't bake one with those things in anyway because I can't be in the same room!) I might make cupcakes and have one and take the rest to work. They keep asking why I'm not baking for them anymore!

    Arrhh fair enough Daisie. I don't like fruit in my cake so sometimes do that for hubbie, or things with marshmallows.

    Going to make dinner in a minute, we are having falafel, pitta, couscous, salad, dips and wedges. Yummy but pretty healthy still.

    Well I made butterfly cakes and plain vanilla fairycakes with sultanas in them....and the majority of them are going in the freezer! The butterfly cakes are yummy but a bit messy so I won't take them to work. Not sure how well they will freeze with the buttercream in but it's worth a try and better than me scoffing them all!

    I have frozen butterfly cakes before- it works fine as long as you defrost naturally. :)

    Well it is a stay the same for me. :( hopefully this is just my body getting used to food again, because I thought I had been pretty good (apart from the fudges) this week. Accordin to the wii I have 2 days to drop a lb to reach my goal... Tempted to weigh in again tomorrow, but going out for drinks tonight, so I know it won't be friendly!

    Morning everyone,

    Your bakes sound yummy Daisie, well done on freezing them though! I wouldn't be able to resist once they were there.

    Well done on the losses and the STS :) I have lost 1 lb since Monday which is pretty good. Was hoping for 2 but considering it has only been 4 days I am happy enough with 1.

    Having been away from the office yesterday I have come back to 2 massive piles of files so won't be on much today. Hope everyone has a lovely long weekend. Good luck to Olokia!! Hope it goes brilliantly for you :) Enjoy it! :)
