LittleWing, Hello and thank you for your kind post and comments. Today was my 3rd Fast day of the week… well until 8.00pm tonight while watching Cambridge United (2nd div Football league), draw with Man United, (Premier League, won just about everything there is to win) in the F.A. cup. What a humiliation for Man United. So…..3 bottles of Old Peculiar later, coupled with some Brie de Melon cheese (superb, find it if you can) followed by a local cheese, “Morden Blue” made locally near Sedgefield. Tony Blair was, sadly our local M.P……BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE US ALL BAD PEOPLE!!!!!. So I will simply re – adjust my 5:2 to another day. Our Grandson (Joshua) is coming to stay overnight tomorrow. His mum, (our youngest) and his dad want some “quality time” together…. whatever that means. SO…. we will be making NOB HOB Chocolate Chip Cookies instead of Cheese Scones this time (make those cheese scones and remember the pinch of Paprika). My 5:2 day is a distant memory.
Having re-started 5:2 I have lost around 8-10 lb in three weeks and am getting into the settling down mode. I love returning to the forum and seeing the posts from both the old and new posters which still give me a great deal of help and satisfaction.
Good luck LittleWing and all posters out there.

Good morning virginialu and welcome. Yes, nothing wrong with Burnley, we British (I am ENGLISH by the way, not European) love an “underdog” especially when they tweak the nose of the big guy. Now, clotted cream scones… aaaaarrrr the memories those bring back. Next time you visit have a holiday down in Devon or Cornwall. Both are wonderful places for a holiday and both profess to be the home of the clotted cream scone.
Now building such a scone is not as simple as you might think because depending where you come from depends on how you believe the scone is built up. Now, do you spread the scone first with clotted cream then topped with Strawberry Jam OR do you spread the scone first with jam then top it with the clotted cream?. Titter ye not, this can cause a major falling out among good friends as both counties have their own view of the right and wrong way to construct said scone. Perhaps one of our posters from that neck of the woods can throw some light on the problem. By the way, you only need to eat one and you are hooked for life and you can kiss good by to a fast day if you have one.
Good luck with your 5:2 lifestyle and keep us updated with your progress.

Hi DFaithfull, thanks for your reply BUT…… you used the “F” word. Please dont do that, we never “F…” simply RE-ADJUST our fast days and continue in a POSITIVE way towards our goals.
Good luck.
