I am officially reporting my own outrageous behavior here, because for all intents and grown up purposes I live by myself, and there is no-one responsible enough to police me.
After six months of glorious dieting (five and a bit stone gone!!), tonight I went loopy and ate two big bowls of Scouse, 4 slices of thick white bread, one pack of spring onion crisps, 6 gold chocolate coins and half a tub of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked ice cream. And I’m still hungry.
Do excuse me while I waddle my way to bed now. I am sacrificing the second episode of Desperate Housewives for the sake of my thighs (though Bree taking herself to the doctors after suffering the ordeal of an orgasm had me crying laughing!). You can’t eat while you are asleep.

To Angela,
Scouse is marvellous, it is basically Irish Stew. Obviously with Liverpool's connections with Ireland it was taken on here and the people from this fair city are known as Scousers! – Although why it is called Scouse I have no idea….!
To Alison,
There is no shame in two helpings of Scouse, after all… a bird can't fly on one wing!
Good for you I say. Nothing wrong with a little splurge every so often. It doesn't undo all the dieting you've done. I used to live in Liverpool and as I remember, scouse is something you need 2nd helpings of.

Like Kim said, been there, done that…. I was never brave enough to go to bed so well done for that. Also, I hope you taped the second part as it was a humdinger.Catch it on replay if you can!
Alison you do make me giggle. I too binged last night and as I had no children (thanx Mum for the sleepover) I also drunk scruplious amount of wine so i fell asleep before the second episode. I will have to catch up when my head gets better.

Alison you are funny. Scouse sounds yummy although I've never tried it. Shame you missed the second episode last night, Carlos and Gabby were hilarious!
