    just popped back to say I've tried the chickpea dahl and its delicious:j very filling(had half a tin with a bit of rice) would also be a nice filling meal with a jacket spud. A very handy quick meal when you're in a rush.

    Morning all

    Even though I had the chance for a lie in I was still up at 7.30 as the cat wouldn't leave me alone and kept sniffing my eyelids :mad:

    Hoping to blitz the house today as its gotten very untidy and dare I say it even a bit grubby as we have been away every weekend for quite some time and I get home late in the evenings. At least I might burn a few cals doing it ;)

    B: 2 boiled eggs with dry wholemeal toast

    L: Maybe just some soup as breakfast was large

    D: Not sure, got plenty in so it could be beef stew or chicken pie with veggies or something spicy

    S: Probably nothing unless I make banana bread later :D

    Happy belated birthday Vixtress and Marions DD hope you had fun
