Hi Alex, I think you might be right - I often have a dish of olives on the side, and will try that next time I want to nibble! The mint sounds a good idea too issi.

Thanks, yes I did enjoy the mini-cornetto - and was really pleased today to see that the supermarket stock quite a lot of mini ice creams - I think it's a great idea, because you don't have to deprive yourself of the occasional treat, but also you don't have either to eat an enormous ice cream (which I find hard these days) or throw half of it away, which I also find very hard! I did manage to leave a bit of my muesli this morning, but having been brought up not to leave food, learning to do so is really difficult for me!
