I'm in a 'bottomless pit' mode today - just can't eat enough!

So far I've had:

2 fried eggs, tomatoes, avocado, 2 coffees
Sea bass fillets, red cabbage & salad, 2 glasses of wine
3 slices of bacon, brown sauce, on a buttered brioche bun
1 mini Magnum

I'm still hungry!

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (s/skimmed milk), coffee

vegan sausages and grilled tomatoes, a slice of toast, fresh orange juice, cup of tea.

Coffee, and about 8 Quality Street (WHY did my husband have to open them?!)

A small omelette made from leftover beaten egg from baking for breakfast (with my shredded wheat and blueberries). For lunch another small omelette, this time with cheese, from another portion of leftover beaten egg, with two chunks Co-op white farmhouse, and a Co-op puff pastry mince pie. I don't want to waste anything.
