I thought I’d treat myself to an ice-cream because I haven’t had anything sweet to eat today, but then I remembered I had about ten spoonfuls of Nutella already. I quickly made myself feel better by using our kids’ logic and telling myself that it DOESN’T COUNT BECAUSE IT’S THE FOOD WE HAVE AT HOME!
