    Extra Easy, Red or Green

    As a slimming world old school type....i still cant believe EE's would work so as im an old stick in the mud i do mainly green days and red when i fancy some meat. I will have to give the EE a go soon though....maybe just for a week to prove myself wrong!!

    How many eggs??

    I love eggs in any way shape or form. I must get through quite a few a week and used to worry about the cholesterol, but have read somewhere that they were blamed quite wrongly for that. Im so glad because now i can have guilt free eggs:)

    Do you ever re-read your books?

    I have read The Stand by Stephen King at least 3 times. 1984 by George Orwell i read about once every 3 years. So thats my most read book ever. They have to be pretty special to get a second read but as someone said earlier some books become like old friends
