On my new eating plan (I hate the word diet)I am allowed up to 15 sins a day. It's up to me how I use them (1 vodka is 2.5 syns)
Today whilst doing my big shop I picked up the above, and double chocolate flavour too!!

They are huge, filling and better still only 5 syns each!! That's great considering I bought myself and Onken Mousse the other day and gave it my son as, despite it's low fat label it was 8 syns! Bloody hell that's 2 vodkas and a packet of Asda cheese curls!!

Yummy.............

kiki mentioning castles got me thinking. You know when you're on holiday you visit castles? We've done Warwick, Winkworth and Alnwick to name but a few! But you don't think about what is on your doorstep do you?

The castle above is Conisbrough and is a mere 15 minutes drive away (7 if Lee drives!) It used to be a favourite for school trips and we just worked out that Abi has never been. We have promised to take her by the end of half term (it's lagging it down here and I have my BIG shop to do at Asda so today is a no go)

History:

The first castle built on the site was in 1088, although the present castle dates back to 1180 which is the cylindrical keep followed after by the walls. The buildings wthin weren't built until the 13th century. The castle is steeped in history and more detail can be found on the official website here: http://www.conisbroughcastle.org.uk/History/history.htm
