Hello to my Elite friends, excuse my lurking at the minute

Bit gutted about my jelly beans and sausages as they were supposed to compare favourably
Still a good result so thanks to everyone for posting the glitches.....

Sausages are outside of 10% weight range (400g v 454g) so won't compare.0 -

we have a lightbulb problem as well - we have only had 2 out of 3 overheads in the living room for weeks now. OH reckons that the bulbs are only sold by ikea - another 2 weeks before we go in that direction.“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
