    ETA:My smile moment has just occurred. My office colleague has spent all day telling anyone and everyone how she's on a no carb, no sugar diet and how everyone should try it, yes it's difficult but the results are astounding but I've just seen her sneaking jelly babies and Minstrels out of her top drawer and chomping on them when she thinks nobody's looking:rotfl:

    Nanamia Glad that you managed to get the meerkats. Meerkats always remind me of a time that I was at the zoo and overheard a child saying 'Daddy, I want a meerkat!' :rotfl::rotfl:
    The poor parent couldn't get away fast enough!

    Mrs-Moneypenny Well done on your win. :)
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.
