Yes Veggie, I visited the one in Worcester and it was heaving - you could just go in, ask and go out again or if you don't mind paying the pp do it on line easy peasy!!!!

WW Chocolat fudge cake dessert. Four points and worth every one of them, especially yummy with a nice cuppa.
I tried the choc el=clairs dessert yesterday, not like our proper eclairs from the baker's of course.oh how I miss the baker's! Full of custardy looking stuff here, but actually wasn't too keen on it as a dessert, I'll keep to the chocolate fudge cake
TQ, those desserts from M&S sound right scrummy. I wonder if there's a M&S web page....I'll go and have a look now...maybe they'll send me some over here? LOL!

This is off topic but I would like to recommend the new face cream from Avon called Beautiful Morning - yes, I'm an Avon lady but you can't buy it from me so this is only a recommendation as a user of the product.

I know its bad for an Avon lady to say this but I don't wear foundation, powder or blusher (cos it feels funny on my skin) and because I usually use a face cream with a fairly high SPF in it I don't catch the sun so I usually look a bit pale.

This Beautiful Morning cream has got something in it that gives you a 'healthy glow' or so the blurb in the advert says. It is not a make up item, its a moisturising cream. This is my seventh day of using it and I look a bit like I have got a very light tan. Nice! And its hypoallergenic too!!!

I think saying you look like a corpse is a good enough reason for him to be an 'ex'!!!!! Bloomin' cheek - some blokes open their mouths before they put their minds in to gear!

Sounds good sarah, I have an Avon lady but she doesn't call that often.
I use something similar from Body Shop called a glow enhancer (it comes in a tinted formula too) it is a lovely moisturiser. I ought to wear it more often I look really grubby in winter!!(I getv washed daily honest )

If you get the opportunity do try some. It doesn't come off - its more like a very pale instant tan!

I have just 'done my rounds' to all my Avon customers dishing out their current orders - and a lot of people have asked if I have been on holiday - I think its a combination of losing a bit of weight and this very light tan - well, they can't buy the weight loss, but quite a few are going to giving this stuff a try.

Out of interest do any of you people assuming that it is harder for them to lose weight than it is for you to lose it???? I have had at least a dozen people today tell me that it would be 'impossible' for them to lose as much weight as I have and that I don't have the worries/illnesses/faddy husbands or kids/appetite that they do.... they ask about what I eat and when I tell them they each and every single last one of them tells me that they have a mystery medical condition ('glands' is favourite) that prevents them from losing weight.... big coincidence...!

Sorry to vent.... I have had the same conversation time after time today and my patience has worn a bit thin!
