Hi!
I love the sausages, they are yummy, taste a bit like stuffing rather than actual sausages they are great with beans, scrambled eggs and bacon!
Yay another convert to the DE coffee haha!

And it's so annoying because I've had 2 great weeks and I only lost 1lb last week I get the feeling I'm gonna struggle to get this last stone off and I don't know how much longer I can be bothered with it all.
