Sometimes I have to remind myself --

Received a nice little Halloween package from my mother (hooray -- my mum loves me!) this morning, full of chocolate goodies and assorted unhealthy nibbles.

As I peeled the foil from my third Lindt chocolate ball, part of my brain chastized me.
"What are you doing?" it snapped. "This is not a proper breakfast or lunch. And you've had neither! Put down the chocolate. Walk away slowly. And go eat something more suitable."

And I, ever unrepentant, popped the delicious little piece of chocolate in my mouth. After all, what's the fun in being an adult if you can't break the rules once in a while?
