So I have just eaten a HUGE slice of camembert and washed it down with a coffee with brandy cream in it, instead of milk, and have stocked up on wine gumes (the rowntree ones not the squishy ones) for later.

In a few days time, I'll look back on this and think HOW could I possibly have eaten such rich and creamy stuff but I really crave it when I have PMT.

So what does it for you?

jampots, it's something to do with the hormones causing people to have a craving for sugar-rich/quick energy stuff I believe!

Good bread. And virtually inhale whole packets of soft mints too!

read somewhere that you burn extra 800cals a day on your period - hence the cravings!
