    You are very bad Gingham! But I looooove how normal you make me feel. :rotfl:

    I've just sat and ate a Scotch pie :o ......I just cant get it to fit in with this new method of counting your daily portions though can I? I have tried. :D

    Although, I have discovered that you can get pure squeezed fruit smoothies on offer somewhere (Tesco/Morrisons maybe?) that are not made from concentrate and count as 2 of your five a day per 250ml glass.

    I sit on the couch with a big 1ltr carton and a straw. If anyone wants some....I glare at them then direct them to the fruit bowl where they will find an apple. Sorted. :D

    I don't care if I'm too late I've had a stressful morning with Barclays Bank - anyway I think it's fun........

    Sunflower seeds count, so chips fried in suflower oil count - it also neutralises the chips to just potatoes.

    The orange in Terrys chocolate orange is a fruit.

    Onions sneak in lots of takeaways - every little helps!

    If you are detoxing and wine is forbidden - pop a tot of vodka in your smoothy - works. :D And of course, the fruit in the smoothy adds up to more units than the grapes in the wine. Win win situation.

    Oh I am soooo not talking to you now!

    I retract my earlier post. It wasn't a Scotch pie, it was a lightly tossed salad with fresh lemon water to drink. :whistle:

    And I am sooooooooooooo normal all by myself, so stuff you. :p
