THE Prepping thread - a new beginning :)

Oh god! The adult version of cornflake cakes (i.e., more chocolate!). Mmmmmmmm.

Does anyone else remember cornflake/ treacle tart? Shortcrust pastry base. Golden syrup layer topped with cornflakes? Not a vitamin or mineral in sight, horribly bad for teeth but a real treat when I was growing up !!!128522;

And, if glued together with melted chocolate, they form a complete meal which is perfect in every way!

oh, is that just me, then?:o

Oh, definitely not just you GQ

Bedsit Bob When my friend went on a diabetes patient course the class were told "If you're having a really bad day and you're absolutely desperate for a Mars bar - Have a Mars bar. Otherwise you'll end up eating all sorts of other inadvisable stuff and probably end up having the Mars bar anyway and feeling like a failure."
So don't be too hard on yourself, though on the other hand don't be like my OH who is completely careless of his diet and will probably be put onto insulin when he sees the diabetes doc next month

Um, given that one of my guilty pleasures is the Bonio dog biscuit (I'm after something to bite, not dunk in my tea), I'm a little unconvinced that merely deep freezing a Mars bars would slow me down enough.

My dentist is blasphemously approving of my teeth though. The lads wince - he tells them to "brush like your mum!" (when 90% of it is thanks to fluoride at an early age) as does my poor mum. As the childhood dentist urged her to stand up in the waiting room & tell all the yummy mummies there that she allowed her daughters to eat dog biscuits & not one of them had a filling. (She tried so hard to get us to brush etc and is a living breathing advert for good healthy practices & vehement about education, but the thought of telling those mothers her daughters ate dog biscuits was definitely one step too far.)

You are not the only one Dig for victory. My son used to line up nicely when my little dogs were going to have a bonio and he has perfect teeth now at 27. Not sure if that's about the bonios though.
