My 4 tier mini greenhouse withstood ferocious West Coast gales this winter - paving slab on the bottom shelf, works a treat.

I have just succumbed to an early morning bowl of instant porridge:eek::eek: But I have got the most awful heartburn (nope Im not pregnant - side-efffect of meds) and think I saw the Wicked Witch hovering . Anyways I wont make the challenge but am looking forward to the next one with gusto. Will it be after I have eaten all my easter eggs :EasterBun

Well I managed half an hour last night doing the Misistry of Sound Pump It Up DVD I have, it is really hard work! Unfortunately that was totally negated by the dozen shortbread biscuits I ate. And four more this morning! The rest have gone to school for the bake sale. This is why I try to only bake for school/family now, I cannot have it in the house without eating it and I really don't know when to stop.

I am feeling better today, thanks for all the hugs yesterday.

Breakfast didn't really happen, I have just been munching various things
Lunch will be soup
Dinner... not sure yet. Meal plan went to pot this week...

Swimming tonight so hoping WI tomorrow will be positive.

Had a bit of a struggle with myself last night, eyeing up the DGC's Easter eggs sitting in my kitchen. I don't really eat chocolate/sweets but really wanted some, just because they're there. Drank water, cleaned my teeth and eventually had an extra crackerbread with a sniff of marmalade - result all four eggs still intact this morning. Phew! Was a close call though :eek:

LittleMoog wouldn't it be better if they made tiny pots of pesto? Mine always goes furry cos I use so little

Need2bthrifty I second iQueen's suggestion re anchoring the greenhouse, mine took off and ended upside down at the end of the garden a couple of years ago. Also best to leave the bottom of the zip open a few inches even on cool days, I and others have found it'll 'fry' the plants otherwise as there's no top ventilation.

B - Spicy, fruity porridge
D - Mackerel, grilled tomato. Apple
T - Slim soup, crackerbread 1xprawn, 1xvegemite, 1xmarmalade
Snacks - Melon, banana, pear
Exercise - 15 mins exercise, maybe more later but a bit wheezy this morning so not pushing it as want to be fit for next week. Also starting working on my tan today .

Have a good day

Sparrer - you have my sympathies. My kid's Easter eggs are in the loft so well away from harms way. When I was a midwife I was at a home birth in June and there on the shelf were a little girl's easter eggs (sacrilege):eek::eek::eek: Anyhow it was 2am in the morning and I was ravenous and there was no food in (at the top of the homebirth checklist is biscuits and tea to feed the midwife!). Anyhow I was so hungry and rather crazy from sleep deprivation, that I ate the easter egg without thinking:o It just had to be but it tasted wonderful. I did fess up but I didnt feel guilty!

Thanks for that Sparrer, great tip.

I'm sooooo happy got my gooseberry bush from the garden centre and its now planted in a sunny but sheltered corner, also got some strawberry plants & sorrel seeds along with more alfalfa and fenugreek seeds to sprout, only thing left on my wish list is a red current and a blueberry bush but money wise they may have to wait till next year.

Sorry for going off track but this growing/gardening lark has got me quite excited - never had time for it before.

Anyway back to the weight-loss programme, had a bit of a stumble last night, broke into the box of chocs lurking in the cupboard and had 6 or so (eyes to ceiling & embarrassed cough) went off to bed but woke at 1.00am ravenous so had a bowl of F&F :eek:

But back on track and the meals planned for the day hopefully not too bad
B - Yoghurt & fruit
L - Sandwich with ham, broccoli sprouts, cucumber & tomato
D - L/O Roasted Veg, Quinoa, salad & 2 x garlic bread slices.

NO CHOCOLATES OR CEREAL TONIGHT!!
