My day began as most Mondays do for me now... i stay at a family friend's house in Reading, get a lift to campus and commence classes at 9am- 1pm. As soon as i finished i ran to the bus stop, but had missed the bus and so opened my tupperware and began eating my carrot and celery assortment. How very mundane i hear you say?! Well, after getting into the town centre... hiking to hobbycraft (which excited me no end, and managed to take up 1.30hrs of my time as i gazed at the 'hobby' and 'craft' facilities in awe (i like hobby and craft things))... I then HIKED back to the train station and headed into London Paddington. All very boring i know, but i didnt take the usual route... i instead headed to leicester square after an anonymous tip off (from glyn) that a magical place called cybercandy existed where i could purchase PRETZEL FLIPZ (see my blog earlier this month!).
I knew this journey would add a hefty chunk to my journey, and was likely to consequent in me missing some/all of neighbours later on (Don't worry, i was breifed on the happenings of the 1.40pm programme so if i had missed it, i would still be on track for tomorrow.)
As i arrived at leicester square i realised i didnt have the slightest clue where i was going, and the 3 foreign people i stopped didnt seem to know either (although they didnt seem to know any words in my hurried/ excitable english, so dirrections were kind of lost on them i think.) I FINALLY found it and there, 3rd shelf up on the right side of the shop were the little bags of heaven. I hurriedly bought all the stock they had left (sadly only 4 bags... £6 in total!!) and a can of mountain dew...obviously!
I couldnt WAIT to get home to once again, sample the delights of the sweet/savoury partnership... but hold on... i should really work out what dammage these bad boys will be doing to the diet, best get the ol' points calculator out...
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
This news of 5 points per bag essentially means i will be eating a quater of my daily intake of food in one small bag of chocolate.
I ended up not caring...eating them and realising they are actually 100% better than i remembered- RESULT!
I am now off to the gym to try rid myself of the after- effects that are bound to haunt me at weigh in on Wednesday... Wish me luck.
However i think you will agree that this discovery has made October the 22nd a great, great day.

Hey Stacey, you know that the amount of endorfines set free by the consumption of chocolate does actually make up for the time ull have to spend in the gym working them off again...just one question: where on earth do you store the 1 stone that you claim still having to loose? AND: yes, ill be there on wednesday (hope that doesnt put you off coming, but my brother goes home wednesday and ill need some procrastination...)
I would just like to take some credit for this.
If it wasn't for me demanding twinkies for the school production, Tim wouldn't have mentioned Cybercandy on my blog. John wouldn't have trekked across London to buy me some, and as a result wouldn't have posted about his journey from hell on HIS blog. Glyn wouldn't have read about it, and therefore couldn't have let you know.
There. I am directly responsible for your happiness.
And you are welcome.
I love the fruties! where did you buy them? That was very kind of you to bring them!
Wow, how good have you got at blogging?!
See, nagging does work!
:D
Just so you know, I joined Pru Health today.
So I should be back on track with the gym very soon!!!
And I think it might be time for you to update your blog ;)
yeah, Katie is right: in 8 days its a month since your last post...you better hurry!
