I'm gradually getting back to normal, though there are still some mince pies around (home-made ones, with good ingredients, so not wholly bad!) I am having a glass of wine now, though (my second) and am munching on some Fudges cheese biscuits - yummy! I have a box of chocolates unopened and another barely touched, so am feeling quite virtuous. I've discovered that the key is to be given dark chocolate as you can't eat so much of it!

Perhaps we could start bidding - I'm guessing I will have gained 4 lb...any advance?
