    Hi all :)

    Well done on the weightloss boo!

    I've no idea what a stovie is either.........

    I've just bought a sat nav off ebay - been bending DHs ear about it for days now. Will have to think of somewhere to go to test it out!

    Off to my sisters hen do this weekend. C is coming with me, DH is taking DSDs and Josh to a motorbike show on Sunday.

    Caitlyn is still in size 3 nappies! Not checked the weights actually but they still look fine on her.

    Sounds like a goer 3. Glad OH enjoyed his surprise. I take it that you 2 didn't polish off the JD last night then?

    Where has the best offers on Pampers Purple Ones (Easy-Fit???) ATM? My chunky legged monkey is moving on up to a size 5 :eek:

    We didn't - but might at the weekend. :p He did open the Special Reserve though for a tot before bed, it is HARSH! :eek:

    We've now got 3ltr's of normal JD in the house - people are so original in their present buying. :p

    We're only just moving to 4+ - i'm waiting for a delivery from Boots. A lot of the nappies were on 2 for something offers.

    Thank you :) I will take it easy, every other time I've done WW the most I've lost, even in the first week, is 4lb. I was shocked at 8! I get a whopping 30 points as I'm still EBF'ing (well, the odd taste of porridge ;)) It'll drop down when Isla's weaning properly.

    Sami, Chris look's soo grown up! It's only last month I saw him and he look's more grown up even since then :)

    so that's roughly 2100 cals daily?

    sounds good, not too strict, but obviously working well :)

    It was lovely! Does need the balsamic with the sugar though, I used garlic and basil then had to add some lime juice to cut through the sugar. And for the colour, it was peely-wally without the balsamic. I'm thinking it would be even nicer with some red onions (I usually have some of them for onion soup and pasta, I really do love onions)

    Kids ate the pastry (they are funny with onions, they ate some), which is good for them!

    Even DH saw the last bit this morning and said he would eat it :j It looks nice he said.

    I 'think' a stovie is a bit like bubble n squeak isn't it? or a rissole (are they the same thing? Nigel Slater made those once, I like his voice - he should do audio books to send you to sleep :D)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    tia thank you that's fab feedback :) you are my first tester (other than DH) for a recipe from the vegan planner :T:T:T

    can I just ask:

    erm, what is peelly wally and is it a bad thing?

    If in dire straights financially, would your family be happy to eat it again? How many times per week or month might they consider having it?

    Marks out of 10?

    And finally, with HM potato wedges and peas the whole meal is 22p per head :money:(it's my cheapest dinner on the vegan planner) so was it filling enough for you all?

    Ignore questions if you CBA :)

    eta: agree about the red onions :) but kitty can't afford them ;)
