NSV I can't buy trousers in M & S now
I've been getting a bit short of work trousers, I bought some in UK size 10 at the end of 2012 and some of them are now too loose :-) I'm 5' 6" and in Marks and Spencer need their long length.

MY NSV for today
I was at a training course at work today. I walked in and there were three plates on the table all full of biscuits. They also each had two apples. I am proud to say I had none and chose an apple instead. Biscuits are one of my weaknesses and I could sit and eat and eat them. To resist today felt great. Then at lunch there…
