Haha you sound like a girl after my own heart...I live for my weekends off LOL :)

Well my sister wanted a bit of a baking tuition class and as it was her birthday I made her 20 odd cupcakes which she practiced doing some buttercream piping on... I think I personally consumed about 3/4 also had sweet chilli sensations, popcorn, another Chinese and chocolate. I will gain I think but I don't feel bloated this time...think it's because it was eating (but not excessive) over a 4 day period instead of the huge consumption I usually do over Friday night/Saturday day so I don't feel fat, bloated or yukky. So shall see what Friday brings :) x
