Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs has been my go-to birthday breakfast for years.  As a young girl, I thought it was the absolute height of s...

*With apologies to Simon and Garfunkle. The last couple of weeks have been slightly odd. We’ve been cat sitting for my parents, who live t...

Ooooh, I’m SO excited today to have been nominated to tell all my tens of thousands of readers (optimistic, moi??) seven things about me. Th...

I'm all for companies trying to make "lighter" versions of things. But this  is just wrong.  A travesty along similar lines ...

I’m just going to come out and say it. I love Masterchef. I mean, I’m not known for my discerning taste in television – just ask poor D wh...

About eight years ago I decided to jump on the Atkins bandwagon. It was not during a particularly affluent period of my life, but I somehow ...

Apparently, lack of sleep has been linked to obesity. I don’t think that can possibly be true. If it were I would be a size 8 by now. I am...

I feel so much better since writing yesterday’s post, thank you for your kind words. During my recent shrink appointment (and as an aside on...

Well, this last week my eating has been beyond bad. Seriously. How a self confessed foodie can justify barely setting foot in the kitchen fo...

What is it about those two words that strikes fear into the heart of this particular dieter? I’m on a four week training course at the mom...

To say I am a bit of a worrier is like saying….the Queen is a little bit posh. I worry so much, that I have an actual, official diagnosed D...

As per my last post here are some of my current favourite curry recipes. They're dead easy, quick to cook and seriously tasty. First u...

In common with many of my countrymen, I watched the football on Sunday. Now, I don't like football. I just don't understand the ...

I suppose I should preface this post by saying if you don't think it is worth using half of your daily points on one meal, you may want ...
