    What's everyone reading at the moment?

    They are both fantastic books, The Time Traveller's Wife can be hard to get into (it took me 3 tries) but its brilliant, so much better than the film, although I loved it too. Room is one of the most exciting books I've read and the saddest, really well done though. Enjoy.

    I watched The Bridges of Madison County last night, I was a big ball of snot and tears when my hubby came home from work, very attractive but he still told me I looked pretty, bless him. That would be the red eyes then? Hopefully we'll hit Netflix tonight and watch a film.

    150mls here, cook 1 minute, stir, another minute, stir, put in bowl and leave it to get a nice wee skin on the top before eating it. It thickens up nicely that way too. I wouldn't put any less in though as it ends up really thick and fake tasting. It's my favourite thing so far by a mile.

    I cant believe I'm going to admit this but I have the most horrendous wind on this diet, and it's absolutely vile, so bad I refused to go out one night last week because it's too sore to hold it in and too unsociable to let it out.
