Have edited it - thanks

Pasties sound good even if they are synned now - will give those a go.
I am so mad with myself as I had the best of intentions this week but have been ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH - have eaten cake every day. I know I will have to pay on Thursday - something I do not want to do - even if I try a bit of damage limitation tomorrow not sure it will do any good....... Got to get back within target range.

I haven't had a syn all day.

Wife has opened a luxury stollen from Christmas ..... I so much fancy a nice glass of red wine with a piece of that! :eek:

I'm all Mullered out

It's okay. Temptation avoided and I'm now safely tucked-up in bed.

It'll be worth it this Summer when the ladies admire my six pack
