Heading for winter with Slimming World

cyclingyorkie

well have been off plan this week - DD1's 21st birthday - so 2 meals out, too much cake, not enough exercise and a month's worth of alcohol in 1 week ( I don't drink a lot but this week has been mad!) Mum came last weekend and brought 2 cakes, DD1 has had 2 cakes made/given and her obligatory birthday cookie from millie's (sighs...)

BUT IT HAS BEEN FANTASTIC!!!! DD1 was bedbound with ME/CFS for her 18th so this week has been fab!

Dizzy, it does sound as if BIL is taking you for granted now, has he a clue how difficult it is for you? He'll have to manage while you're away anyway won't he?

Yup he knows.......but doesn't seem to be doing anything very quickly to sort the situation. Hes got MIL staying there for the 3 weeks that we are away - and we have to go straight from the airport to his house on the monday that we get back :mad: Grrrrrrrr here endeth my moaning ...... honest!!!! but I can't moan to anyone else about it (and I don't do moaning normally so it doesn't feel appropriate:A)

Must get on with the washing Ironing/packing now ....... I'll be back in a bit folks

Dizzy you go right ahead and moan all you like, we don't mind in the slightest. You have listened to all my woes and responded sympathetically everytime so now it's my turn.
Now I may be speaking out of turn but I think bil is slightly taking the pi$$ expecting you straight from the airport. I suppose the good thing would be using his electric to wash everything though :rotfl:
Have a great holibob when you go :A

I have some bran in the cupboard left over from Atkins days. Some if it is fine grade and some is lumpy grade.

Other than sprinkling it on yoghurt what can I do with it

I have googled for bran muffins but all that comes up is scan bran stuff

Any ideas anyone

only thing I can think of is looking on the recipe thread for things that use scan bran & substituting with the bran you have?
