Temptations of a Charity Coffee Morning....

Like many of you out there, I have just come back from a McMillan Coffee morning organised in our village to raise funds for a worthy cause. I went there knowing I would eat cake, but was relatively controlled I am pleased to say. I had just a small slice of a ginger tea loaf, and a slither of a caramel slice. I donated sufficient funds to take some cake home for my partner, and donated a Chocolate Banana Date Cake which was more than half gone when I left, so feel I have done my bit!

Well done to any of you who went to your own local Coffee Morning and were suitably restrained in your choices!

Hi DD. I too got caught by a Mac coffee morning. I handed over a donation and took a slice of cake to carry home for Himself. Smug or what! BUT. I am meeting friends for a cream tea later...

Well they do say you can't have your cake AND eat it....enjoy your cream tea, with very small bites!

Well done! Sounds like your new habits are settling in nicely. :)

I only avoided the coffee mornings here at work because I was working from home on Tuesday and the one on Wednesday was on the 4th floor and I was way too lazy to bother going up one floor! ;)

Had to make a cake for my husband to take to work for their cake competition. He is judging it so I know I won't be winning, but it is the taking part that is important.

Well done for your part
