EVIL ADs
Not sure what I did today but the adverts on my page are for 'British Candy'. (We don't even call it that!) Mysterious dark-web companies have put some 'tempting' pictures of choc in various poses.

Hello everyone - it is really good to read what you have written to each other on this site. It does seem that what you have in common is not just a desire to lose weight but the warmth of your response and willingness to support strangers. This is a wonderful thing.
