    Jo - Do you know Eager Elephant? If not she may appreciate tips and advice as she has an 'indoors' challenge of her own... I took the liberty of recommending the diary to her, so you may to improve food standards :):):)

    Happy Friday - double check the backup plan for Saturday

    Morning Diners!:D

    Roast chicken dinner last night was bloody lush. I swear I could live on roast dinners. Only problem last night was we only had two yorkshires in the freezer so I sacrificed my needs and let OH and piglet have them :D

    Todays menu not very exciting so far:

    Crunchy nut cornflakes (reverted to unhealthy cereal - that healthy stuff tastes cack!)....mini ryvitas with cottage cheese, banana and snack a jacks for lunch, dunno for tea!

    Morning all, hope everyone is ok :)

    Fruitbread toast for brekkie and cheese&ham sarnie, with clementines and digestives for lunch.

    As usual, DH is in charge of tea so I'll find out what I've got when I get home :D
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
