    No, it's not just you. I'm sat here twitching because of that bloody cake:mad:

    I've just almost forced the kids to go and get it. DD will eat the top, and DS will eat the cake bit;)

    OMG DS just put it in front of me :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    That's the problem though Beanie, I'm still stuffed from dinner :confused:

    Poor, I screamed at the kids to take it away, they just laughed at me :o

    DD just asked me if I want some marzipan, so I said no. Then she asked if I want to smell it :mad: :mad:

    I love marzipan, what a little moo :eek:

  • Spud - your kids sound hilarious, an utter nightmare for you on a diet but lots of fun (sorry, not very supportive).

    I have a new tactic - pickled onions, low in calories, other food will taste vile after them, perfect! - anyone know if they count towards five a day

    They're great kids, just brought up to share like Skinty's. I do get the feeling DD is being a bit more than sharing though :rotfl:

    Pickled onions - what a great idea. Of to get mine out. We'll smell lovely wont we :rotfl:

    I was almost there with the pickled onions but then they go so well with cheese and it'd only tempt me so I'm staying out of the kitchen. Luckily DS has gone to bed and the lid is on the maltesers tube so no more waving things in front of me to share.
