Hi everyone, i'm sorry before i start, but i needed a bit of a rant, for the last 2 weeks my wieght has stayed the same. I dont know wether its because the kids are home or what it is i have been really good and if i have over syned i'v cut down on other days. i'm lucky as my lot aged...

hi, if you mix a pack with a little bit of hot water you can use like melted butter, or just sprinkle over hot jacket potato or hot food. i bought them because i missed butter on a jacket and they do hit the spot without the fat.
