    Sometimes, you just need to throw caution to the wind ! Tonight I had chocolate millionaire shortbread cheesecake with Ben & Jerrys hazelnut ice cream ! I feel like I just cheated on my wife lol !

    Haha know how that feels on my husband though
    If I have anything I think I shouldn't I mumble to myself for ages
    But I also think sometimes you just got to let go and breathe
    As long as you reign yourself back in I think occasionally its fine well that's my philosophy :)

    OMG OMG OMG what are your BS like then ? I'm torn about being worried for you and the other part of me is envious, but I just couldn't and wouldn't :( but I really do hope you enjoyed it.

    I was very tempted to buy a Value Trifle the other day.

    But I forwent the luscious Strawberry jelly,the cheap custard and the whipped cream for a selection of 10 calorie jelly pots.

    Didn't taste the sane but I felt very good afterwards.

    Know just what you mean though.

    I am officially a member of the Jelly Club !!

    But it's much cheaper to buy the sugar free sachets and put it in your own pots and add some berries yummy

    Yes, it has aspartame in it.

    But I can't see how you can eat sugar free jelly without Aspartane ??

    Can you ??
