    I still get called the baby and I'm now 40!!

    Somebody slap me hard, how did I manage to spend so much money today :( The electric doughnut maker from Boots didn't help. At least I got triple points.

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm donuts :drool: :drool:

    I hope you have some healthy snacks in here - I have decided to do my Carol Vorderman detox from next week, so smoothies and nuts please, squeaky.

    Off to trawl the recipe threads for inspiration - may even add some.

    OK Queenie - will do. However, just drinking this bottle of Rose I have treated myself too - on account of the fact I won't be drinking for 4 weeks. And as I don't usually drink much anyway, can see evreything becoming slightly out of focus later on :D

    Might make my own Houmous this time, instead of buying it - have lots of chick peas.
