    I though dh would win the who eats most but he said he is just about to eat now. Earlier he only had a bowl of muesli.

    He has now had baby bells. And some coconut ice.

    See how well adhere to this eat well lifestyle?

    Save yourself. Take it off.
    I've rarely been... it's still a novelty. I went in about 1990 and bought 2 sofas, a load of kitchen basics and 3 sets of drawers.... and it wasn't until 2007 that I went again - I bought a couple of great storage boxes, two 19p plates and my laptop table.

    To be fair.... if I'd listed yesterday's it was probably horrific. From memory I recall: a Lidl individual cheesecake, four pockets filled with 2 boiled eggs, some cheddar and mayo, a few handfulls of crunchy nut cornflakes ... so that was a pigsy day. I often scoff for Britain.... and all bad things.

    If the nuker were working, today I'd have eaten more. I'd have probably tried the Iceland biryani for starters!

    If I'd been wearing bigger jeans today I'd have probably also gone into the indian as they have a "12-2pm Half Price Main Dishes" offer on 7 days/week.... and I'd have had a biryani (£7 down to £3.50) - which would have stuffed me. It's on the list to be done at some future point when I'm wearing loose clothing and can get there early enough to pace myself to eat a whole meal.

    Does anyone know what happened to dopester?

    I clicked on his profile and he was last on just over a month ago, so at least he's still about. I miss mewbie:(.

    4 slices of soya&linseed toast with thin marg, on way to station for breakfast
    packet of mini cheddars, 2 apples and 2 satsuma as morning snack
    made at work by me sandwich 2 slices same bread, cooked chicken from packet and onion relish with tomato for lunch
    one more piece of bread, peanuts and another satsuma for afternoon snack (plus about 4 biccies from someones holiday bring-in).
    2 portions of chicken in caserole with carrots and (green) peas, rice, courgette and mangetout for dinner, mini apple pie for afters.
    I'm sure that can't be more than 2000 calories?
    I think....

    We could set up a thread to bring him back .... and I can send him the link....

    I'm so rubbish with AEs that I'd never know if he were still here by a different name.

    They have nothing like that round here. Curries are tasty enouigh in the evening but for lunch they taste even better, one of the few foods that reheats better than first served.

    We could go to Ikea ... it's on my To Do list.

    Well it has the advantage that if you are an internet imposter and are really a 6ft heavy weight axe murderer I should be able to lose you in the store. Or in the queue for the meatballs.

    It is somethig else. You go in on the top floor and have to go down through all floors to get out. Carefully not being attracted to brightly coloured stuff, glasses and functional storage.

    I am thinking New Forest...tea rooms....pub.

    Looks like about 2000 to me.
