Watching the weight

Well for the first time in god knows how many years I am not on a diet, but I can’t resist a bargain. So when I found WeightWatchers Spaghetti Bolognese for £1 in Morrisons well I had to buy it.

It wasn’t even worth a pound, there wasn’t a calorie in it and when it landed on my plate I grabbed the car keys, swung into top gear and headed for the nearest chippy. I’ve often wondered why I love the chippy so much but those glass cabinets with their warm halogen glow invite me in every single time – especially when the temperature has plummeted and the smell of winter is overpowering.

So weightwatchers well done, you single handedly took me from no diet to the land of obesity in the space of the seven minutes it took to cook the string that hides the mince in your £1 ready meal.
