Me too. I told my mother I had done a week without chocolate ( major thing for me) she said yes you could do with cutting out rubbish, an hour later she turned up with a chocolate brownie for me. ::) lol

Yep, that's my mother to a T as well. Pop over to parents for a cup of tea whilst she's on a diet and then suddenly cream cakes appear of the kitchen table and I'm being force fed one with the comment 'you're too skinny' lol

I remember my step-gran used to make real European tortes - 1 egg per 1 tbsp flour. They were things of wonderful taste. Sadly, she wouldn't share her recipes.
