At the moment... artex ceilings. Also the concrete patio.
Just a little boast that today buying my coffee as usual was a hideous chore as Cafe Nero have a new dark and white chocolate cheese cake.

I averted my gaze, walked out with my coffee and then stood in the window for want seemed an age.

Easter is going to be tough. I have promised myself a single cream egg and am stockpiling novorapid in anticipation. :p

Thankfully i don't have that temptation towards cake and Easter eggs, but there's some really good dark chocolates around (85% cocoa) should you want to try them, once is from Aldi where each individual bar contains 4g of carbs.

Thanks @noblehead, I have a tremendous set tooth unfortunately!

Don't know about Aldi (will check it out!!) But there is a hotel chocolate on my way home from work. Their Supermilk range is awesome and their pistachio pralines are to die for! 13g carbs for 3!

There's a great chocolate shop in Borough Market that does a range of 100% bars. They are amazing.

There is a Hotel Chocolat opposite my office. I am going to search out this 100% chocolate. I have a terrific sweet tooth :(
I must be restrained as I am still on a mission to lose weight. So far, over 2 months of low-carbing (under 20g a day) and total weightloss is 1 kg. Still, my levels are generally good. Trying to focus on the silver lining...

Oh, and apologies to noblehead; thank you to whoever edited my post above! :shy:
