    I am reporting a sts. I am not too surprised after all the eating on our little Blackpool trip. Will do better next week.

    NTBT I too agree with all the others about it
    Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

    Holy Moly………what a week I’m having. As planned I went out into the glorious sunshine to cut the grass and after 10mins the mower died in a puff of smoke :eek:…aaaaaaaaargh. Got a new one, luckily I had saved up a bit on my nectar card but it still dented the budget a bit. It seemed to take forever to put the thing together, so a job that should have taken 40mins took me three hours :mad: – at least the sun is still shining and looks set to continue for another few days :)

    Anyway, forgot to post today’s meals this morning
    B – Yoghurt & Fruit
    L – Salad Sandwich
    D – Veg & Lentil Curry, poppadum’s x 3

    Well, it has been a lot worse recently...

    First breakfast - Cornflakes
    Second Breakfast - Tinned peaches with LF greek yogurt.
    Lunch - yogurt, bowl of cut up fruit (I eat a lot more when I cut it up!)
    Snacks - biscuits, freddo, 2 chipolatas
    Dinner - Chicken in spicy sauce with brown basmati rice
    Pudding - butterscotch ice cream, in a cone to stop me eating so much!

    That's a lot, but nothing compared to what I had been putting away!

    Morning, Everyone

    Starting to get bored with this lovely weather now ;)

    Today's plan is -

    brekkie - has to be a bacon sarnie, I'm afraid. It's the only thing that will satisfy me this morning...just waiting for it to defrost

    lunch - cheese/crackers/hm chutney/crisps - will be gardening so something easy but satisfying

    dinner - have just got a couple of pieces of hm pizza out of the freezer. I have to avoid Eurovision tonight as I really can't abide it so I may go food shopping tonight instead of tomorrow, and just want something quick and easy to eat.

    Enjoy a stunningly lovely weekend, all.

    LB xx

    Morning all :)

    LB I so agree, the Euro song thing has to be the worst programme ever. Hope it's light this evening so I can spend my time more usefully, ie sitting in the evening sun :D

    Easy food day today after last night's barbecue, only had one piece of french bread but lots of salad, a sausage and a steak. Was quite controlled in fact. We won't mention the pud I took ;)

    B - porridge
    D - hm chunky chicken & veg soup. Apple
    T - 3 Crackerbread with marmite/rf cheese&pickle/marmalade
    S - pear, nectarine, kiwi, melon
    E - gardening

    Have a sunny day :)

    Hi Folks,

    Just a quick post before I nip out to Lid! – I’ve got visitors coming end of next week so thought I might get some of the meat offers then get my thinking cap on as to what I will make with them. After that feet up with P.D. James :D

    Today
    B – Bacon & Egg, tomato
    L – Smoked Sausage Salad
    D – Stir Fried prawn & veg Rice


    I have to avoid Eurovision tonight as I really can't abide it so I may go food shopping tonight instead of tomorrow, and just want something quick and easy to eat.

    LB xx

    Me neither, I listen to the radio a lot and every show on Radio 2 plays Engle at some point.....so I hear it at least 5 times a day!!!!!

    Aaaaaarg - Graham Norton just playing it as I type!!!!!!!!!

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
