    Dunno if this is any good to anyone on the 5:2 but I nibble on the As letter sweets (I usually buy as fillers, 3 for £1 kids sweets).
    4 calories a sweet and a bag usually lasts me a week.
    Only any good if you like them I spose :)

    Oi Funkster, I'm a quiet, respectable family man these days, not in the same league as Dotty. and DiM. In another 40 years I see myself being more like Artha and Nanny L, not anything like those other two reprobates.:p
