YANBU - only one or two bites to each one.

Mind you...I DO have a very high tolerance for sugar.

YANBU.

I could eat three boxes and still not feel sick if I was in the right mood.

I dont though. Mores the pity.

Betty's are the best. I couldn't eat more than one but they are gorgeous!

ooh I love French Fancies. Our local newsagent does their own brand ones for 50p - they taste exactly the same.

I like it when they do the special edition ones - especially the pink ones.

Not sure I could manage the french fancies, but could easily demolish a box of bakewell tarts, assuming you mean the 6 boxes?
In fact thats what I had for breakfast after DS2 arrived. Tho I did manage to offer the paramedics one each. The declined (it was about 8am!). Not done it since tho.

Bloody lov em yanbu

But. I have to eat the chocolate ones first then alternative the lemon and strawberry. I try very very hard not to eat a whole box but usually do and so dont buy them.

Betty's ones are amazing but can only eat one.

You can't eat a whole box, that would be disgusting. One yes, two at a pinch, more than that is greedy. How could you even want to eat a whole box?

YANBU for eating them.

YABU for making me think about them while I'm on a diet.

It's quite easy to want to eat a whole box really.

I'm Envy at the 50p fake French fancies.

Once when I was about 19 and a relaxed, hippy student, I ate a whole pack of Golden Syrup cake bars (10 of them).

Where do you get the Betty's ones from? Don't usually eat a whole box, I don't usually buy cakes for this reason. Yes I did eat the chocolate ones first. I like the yellow ones best. I start the diet again once we have moved house.

Order them online at £££, or come and visit us 'tup North and visit a shop.
To be fair, I couldn't eat 6 of hers. Mr Kipling makes them much smaller and less rich!
