Saturday.

Which meant some long-overdue retail therapy in the big city, with faithful travelling companion. (And I wondered....why do you run out of all your cosmetics/toiletries at the same time??)

Nice Italian lunch, very agreeable vegetarian lasagne :) however on the down side, one of our favourite branches of Caffe Nero is closing. Really sad about this as it was one of the few coffee shops you could be guaranteed a seat in....maybe that's why it's closing I guess??

Tonight just chilled out with a mixture of "Who Dares Wins" and my weekly revisiting of "Phoenix Nights" - now onto series 2. Classic stuff.

And finally, all hail Morrisons Cheese & Onion Potato Skins, for they are truly wonderful ;)

What do you want for tea? I want crisps!

So it's Friday night and here I am at EuropeCrazy HQ, minus faithful travelling companion. :(

Tonight's date has been called off due to FTC's nasty bout of conjunctivitis, poor thing. I feel a spot of gratuitous blogging coming on.

I need to share something with you. I am....a crispaholic. Yes, I love potato crisps (or for my North American readers, potato chips) and unfortunately it is an addiction that I just can't cure, and don't particularly want to. Which also goes a long way to explaining my "battle of the bulge" and my WeightWatchers Online membership which has gone on a little bit longer than originally planned..!

So it was with great joy that I discovered this week that Golden Wonder Golden Lights are back. In Poundland. Yay and rejoice, rejoice, rejoice. In these credit-crunching days you've got to grab every bargain you can. At the end of the day, if you are going to eat crisps you might as well be sensible and choose the low-calorie low-fat option, and these fit the bill. Specially the Salt & Vinegar ones, yum. Technically, they are not crisps as we know it, but a more than acceptable substitute for Discos.

I miss Walkers Potato Heads though.
