    When did I become spicy rather than skinty? I don't mind just not used to it:p I didn't say I liked lettuce anywhere near as much as wine and my DS would tell you it's usually spinach leaves round here (much to his disgust:D) but I do love most fruit and veg and it's only the other pish I eat that leads to this weight gain:o must focus and get rid of it.

    All the way to uni for one class today:( so shall try and fit in a wee run first, got volunteer stuff after. I may actually manage a NSD Butti!

    Well, you'll have to practice being more spicy then... :p
    I didn't say I liked lettuce anywhere near as much as wine

    You're cutting down on your wine, and increasing your lettuce - what other conclusion can be drawn about relative "likes"... :p
    and my DS would tell you it's usually spinach leaves round here (much to his disgust:D)

    Not popeye in the making then?

    Could be worse. Could be deep-frying your mars bars... :rotfl:

    Ahh no, especially not in one of my favourite pasta dishes with tomatoes and pine nuts, apparently hot spinach is even worse than cold spinach (luckily LM likes it:o).

    My mum gave me a snickers bar last night and I gifted it to DS, quick find me a halo! I have never had a deep fried mars bar, I feel deprived but I am really scottish:D

    I did thanks, just a wee 3 miler but enough to keep me ticking over, was a bit windy down the beach today - not as bad as yesterday though as DS was so concerned about me he came to check I was ok when I got back:D

    Got bad news from mortgage folk that me leaving job will make a big difference to what we can borrow so looks like we shall be stuck here a while, I quite like it here now so not too bad but not ideal either.

    Have to finish an essay for Monday this obviously means I am now up to date on all blogs and the flat is very tidy :D

    I ran this morning and got great times (for me :o) so must be improving! Had yummy carrot and ginger soup for lunch (current favourite and I put way too much ginger in so it's nice and tangy) and dinner is in slow cooker for later:A

    Fixed it for you... :p:D

    When you're your size, you must just get blown along - I'm made of sterner stuff however... ;)

    What sort of foodie thing? Organic? Farmers market?
