CCP - hope you feel better soon *hugs* Could be dehydration causing the headaches, I used to suffer with really bad migraines (thankfully these days not as much as I used to) and I was told I wasnt drinking enough water!

Thanks. It's not lack of water for me, as I drink loads - I suspect it's to do with the fact that I have an excrutiatingly uncomfortable chair at work and it's putting my back and neck at a strange angle the whole time (I'm waiting for a better one to be delivered but there's been endless problems with the order so it won't arrive now until the beginning of next month ).

For lunch, add one cheese-topped roll with a scraping of butter. Bad CCP.

Where have I been - never had a chip butty, or a crisp one. Had sugar sandwiches and condensed milk ones when I was lickle, now I have something new to try. But not this week...
SIRENS that poor little lad , well done the caring teacher for taking water. I wonder if the parents went without some liquid all day??

B - grapes, celery
L - frittata made with mushrooms, celery grated potato, tomato, red onion with one egg. Did the veg in the mc then put it in the frying pan, whisked one teasp olive oil in with the egg/milk so it slid out of the pan when cooked
T - 3 crackerbread 1xvegemite, 1xrf cheese&scrape pickle, 1x marmalade
S - carrots batons, satsuma, melon
E - scrubbing sitting room carpet, doing about 5 mins every half hour. Hot!

Enjoy the rest of the day

Hi Sparrer,

I remember sugar sandwiches in my childhood but never condensed milk ones.... ????? What did your mum do ??? Spread it on ???? I daren't try it... although I do have tins of condensed milk in the cupboard.. for when I have to make tablet etc..

I better not ask any more as it could put lbs on if I open that tin !!!:(

recovering_spendaholic

Sparrerthat frittata sounds lovely - I have decided that I am going to make it for my tea tonight!!

Not having a great day food wise.

Overslept AGAIN so no time for breakfast.
Lunch - two sausages, about a tablespoon beans, fried egg and half a bread roll
ate a bag of crisps when out at the shops:o
dinner will be Sparrer's frittata

I will try very hard to not eat anything after tea, and will try to drink more water!

Elliehow are you getting on with your fridge? My fridge is also too warm - it is 14 years old so I think I will have to get a new one - trouble is it is integrated so might be costly....

Chip butties - YUM! With chilled spread butter that melts down your chin. :drool::drool:

Food-

No brekkies (plumber here by 9 and too shy to eat in front of him.)

HM Irish stew (Delia never lets you down):D

Apple
Jam Doughnut
4 mini chocolate/coconut buns :o

4 roast potatoes

Look at all those carbs! :eek: I don't know what was going on. :huh:


Never had sugar or condensed milk sarnies but I used to love Salad Cream Sandwiches.

SIRENS

Ohh sugar sandwiches,sparrer I remember those and condensed milk sandwiches, my Dad used to love them, my stepmonster put an end to that though as she tries to keep him healthier now:rotfl:

I was also partial to a syrup sandwich not so many moons ago!

Hot day at work again, like a sauna, they think it will take another 2 days to fix, its only been broke since May!

B. museli and yoghurt
L. Salad with crumbled bacon and new pots
D. Not sure yet, have eaten 2 saffron buns whilst making the kids packed lunches, may just have a sandwich later.

ellie hope you get the fridge fixed soon, you certinly need it in this heat.

Thank you for all your concern for my poorly fridge...I feel like I've got a sick relative :rotfl:
It's running at about half coldness today (the ice is not a new symptom, it keeps coming back when I defrost it)...so I plan to defrost it again, pull it out and clean it all at the back, and generally poke about...no, actually I plan to get DS to pull it out etc, but he won't be home from work until late so it will have to wait until tomorrow...

Today -
B; granola, ss milk
L: 2 slices wm toasted, with spread
beans, fried mushrooms, half an egg (the dippy yolk ) and 3 fried tattie scones :eek:

Oh dear, it went badly wrong tonight...I had no intention of having fried tattie scones...my DM gave me them because they'd been reduced in SM, and then DS phoned to say he'd be very late, so it just seemed the easy option to eat them, and do DSs when he gets in.

I keep letting my DM influence what I eat! Although she also offered me a box of reduced truffles, which I refused...225 calories for 3 sweets!

Now I want to go to the SM, but we're in the middle of a thunderstorm...perhaps just as well, I may give in to the "I've blown it so I can keep eating" theory :rotfl:

Sirens...I'd forgotten about syrup sandwiches! Messy, but very yummy

ellie99

Well, I made it to the supermarket...

and I tortured myself in the chocolate aisle...tortured myself, I tell you! :rotfl:
I looked at *everything*...I wrestled with myself...it was still half price...

And also struggled in the crisps aisle...who first mentioned crisp butties???

You know when you just want a TREAT, but you don't know what you want?

I finally settled on some half price cereal bars (full price is :eek:),
so please add one chocolate and raspberry cereal bar to todays food and very nice it was too

sparrer

Well done ellie, it must have been a struggle in the sm.

OG we were allowed to dip the teaspoon on the tin of condensed milk and let it drizzle onto the buttered bread, then of course we licked the spoon Very messy and runny to eat but oh, so good! I brought some hm tablet back from Oban, it was yummy but I daren't try making it, all that sugar :eek:

Coming home from the Saturday night dance to heat a tin of spaghetti with an egg mixed in and cheese sliced over the top, on toast. Makes me feel ill to think of it now _pale_. Amazing what our young stomachs could cope with.

The trouble with scrubbing the carpet is every time I did a spot it looked grubby round the outside. Still, I managed a lot of carpet cleaning today! Not had bread for a day or two so my belly seems to have gone back to where it should be. I just hope I can keep it up til the weekend, when I'm away again. Unfortunately apart from breakfast it's a set menu so will just have to have small portions. Will try to be good...

Sweet dreams

CCP

Morning all.

There's some really interesting sandwich ideas coming along here, although I have to admit that I'm not sure any of them particularly appeal to me!

I'm feeling really today as a brief step on the scales this morning puts me at under 97kg for the first time in... oh, ages!

Today goes:

B - strawberry cereal with FF peach yoghurt
L - LO quorn fillet in a cheese-topped roll with mixed leaves and a little bit of salad cream; small packet of pretzels; nectarine
D - lamb and mint mini-burgers with Greek salad (made with RF feta, of course )

Have a good day, all.
