Got back from Scotland on the 28th Dec. with a big bag of minstrels, and have miraculously not eaten them all yet...............

I know, I'm crazy about minstrels, but have hidden them in my laundry room, and it is hard to reach them when I want a few. The lengths I go to not to make a pig of myself..........no willpower otherwise.

Wow - a lot of responses! It's a big challenge, and I realize I'm going to spend most of my time eating instead of working (was meant to be a work trip), but nothing's too much for you lot!

I don't know whether I should starve myself for the rest of this week or else 'limber up' by over-eating starting now...?

Already fretting as I'm on a Leo on Saturday but won't really have much oportunity to do any drinking on Friday in preparation...

Promise to reply after the trip and let you know how nice it was and how much you enjoyed it.

Ok, I'm back. And after barely a day to loll around the house, moaning that I feel all jet-lagged and crap, the very next thing I'm doing is coming back here to let you, the people, know exactly how much enjoyment you derived from outsourcing you British consumption to me for the week.

Here goes...
