    I turned up for work today and i have a week off :o

    :rotfl:
  • Lol mazzers, you are a nutter!! :rotfl:

    Revised menu for today

    B - three warm boiled eggs mashed with butter :o
    L - 2 x crispbreads with butter & cheese
    Another 2 x crispbreads with butter & cheese a bit later on
    D - sirloin steak, cauli mash, mushroom & baby spinach in a creamy cheesy sauce

    Lesson learned - do not eat 4 bran crispbreads in one day :o:rolleyes:

    Apart from the sore bum!! :rotfl:

    popping in...

    brekkie: stewed fruit, yoghurt & seeds
    lunch: HM vegetable soup, fruit and a granola bar
    dinner: veggie sausages, pasta & cheese sauce.

    Oh dear -was doing so well. Twas only a little pasta....:o

    Very sleepy still (not just coz of the carbs) so having an early night. Work is going ok but with all the medication making me sleepy when I get home from work all I can do is go to bed.

    Nighty night.

    Oh well, just me still up then :rolleyes:

    marrow, glad the new job is going well, think it will take a few weeks before you are in a routine & not so sleepy. Hopefully you have the weekends to recharge your batteries. :D

    mazzers, forgot to ask about your cod in butter - where do you buy it from?? I've been thinking of getting some for a while as I lurve fish, but when I looked in Tesco it was really expensive (well, I thought so). Says she who had sirloin steak for dinner tonight!! :rotfl: Twas half price m'lud!! :o

    Nighty night everyone ... see y'all tomorrow.

    Was on offer in Tesco last week, cant remember how much but was reasonable.
    Offers are usually on end of aisle and thats where i spotted it by the checkouts.
    Thought it would be nice with a sauce and under 3g carbs for each one if i remember correctly.
    Night X

    Must have missed it, looked in the fish aisle yesterday but nothing on offer :rolleyes: Never think to look in the Offers bit because it's usually always icecreams & pizzas & other such rubbish that I wouldn't eat (yeah right, just gimme the chance when no one's looking!!)

    Had my brekkie & I have to say, spinach is an acquired taste methinks. When I used it last night with the mushroom & creamy cheesy sauce I couldn't actually taste it, but I've just had it in a cheese omelette & it was a bit strong. Didn't chop it up today so don't know whether that made a difference?? Anyway, I shall persevere with it.

    B - 2 egg cheese & spinach omelette
    L - 2 x bran crispbreads with butter & cheese plus anything else I can find
    D - sirloin steak, cauli mash, cheesy spinachy thing & mushrooms if I go shopping today

    Have a good day everyone, tis miserable & wet here :wave:
