    Don't try this...

    Been good with the diet but craving chocolate so bought some diabetic chocolate from Boots. I thought the small print said no more than three bars a day, it was three squares a day.

    Remember the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles where they're all eating beans? I'm doing it solo and it's not much fun.

Working...
