Some time ago, a take-away shop opened up between archery and the park that makes the most delicious hot chips. It became a ritual for most families to stop there and buy hot chips to take to the park. A cheap and tasty treat.
A few months ago, it changed hands - and to our dismay, it closed on a Monday and Tuesday. Disaster! We had to go back to being organised enough to pack lunch beforehand!
I've been trying to lose a bit more of that stubborn weight around my belly, so I've been trying to eat healthily. This week, I packed a lovely chicken salad to take with me. We left archery as usual, and started to drive to the park.
And spied that the chip shop had re-opened! I couldn't resist the siren's call (and neither could the other families!) and had to stop.
I ask you - which would you prefer?!
But I was good (ish). I stole a couple of chips and then sent Billy to sit at the other end of the picnic table so I couldn't have anymore and ate my delicious salad :)

May your willpower always prevail! :)
Mmmm, if you made me a salad like that I'd love it! But I'd also have to nibble on some of the small, crisp, salty, crunchy chips :)
LOL Kez.. if they had gravy I'd have been done for too ;)
Caz - they do sell gravy but I have a weird child that won't eat gravy or sauce! I just have to drool over everyone else's chips & gravy :)
I practically lived on that as a uni student - our uni cafeteria sold huge bowls of chips & gravy cheaply!
Butterfly - yeah I like the crunchy ones too :)
Thanks Suji - it probably won't lol.
In all honesty I'd much prefer the salad. Yum. Only occasionally do I actually want hot chips, and even rarer to do I have some that really taste good. Hard for you though if everyone else is having them. Good on for just having a few.
