Lovely problem to have, but all this free food severely tests my self-discipline. Why is that, psychologically, free Ben & Jerry's or MAM or chocolate has less calories than if it had been paid for? And the fat content of meat suddenly halves when it is free, because I happily chuck twice as much in the paella or stir fry :huh: My usual rationing seems to go out the window and somehow, if it was free it doesn't seem to count the same

Feel exactly the same, not much left of yesterdays whoopsied pork joint, in days gone by we would have got 2 meals and a round sandwiches out of it for 5/6 of us, not much left for tea tonight, we all put far too much on our plates yesterday than was healthy. :eek:

Also we opened a tub of Celebrations last night and not many of those left either. :o

I agree with this sooooo much;)At Xmas it just wasnt the same getting all the choccie ready for Xmas either. I always get it all out on Xmas Eve ready for when our guests arrive but this year their was no pinching one or two here and there because I was all choccied out from all the glitches!:rotfl:

Agree with you too Nikki, chocolate just does not taste the same, although it does not stop me eating it. :eek: Think I have put all 3 DDs off Cadburys Mini Creme eggs for life after getting rather a lot last year, after sharing a few around had approx 100 bags which we finished the last of just before xmas. Trouble is rather than sharing a packet or two, we would all have a pack each. :o:o

Good arvo,
Just got myself a nice DTD.
Airwick plug ins. £6.50 on SEL but store had an FSDU with a special offer at £4, included some reed diffusers too but cats always knock these over! After DTD makes them £1.50, But... Each one has a voucher for £1 off next purchase so 50p each. Am nicely stocked up, for a while. Cough cough!

Hi there
What is an FSDU please?
Sorry if I am being dim!

Hiya, I'm home but I was thinking of popping to Glasgow tomorrow. Can I let you know one way or another later tonight?

Of course, there's no hurry I'm hoping to get some more tonight, how many would you like?

I only know super girl & cat woman, can anyone think of any others, I've got to try and buy 1 and get it here in time for friday

You could put together a wonderwoman/girl costume cheaply.All you need is a blue skirt with white stars, a red top and a gold belt/or ribbon.You cld make the wrist cuffs from silver foil/paper.
