De-lurking to say hello and how much I love to read your posts! Your meal plans always sound so delicious - will need to try out some of the recipes

... tiny creatures that live in your closet and sew your clothes a little bit tighter each night. I think I must have an infestation of them!

So:

• Step class yesterday. Found it really hard again and think it must be due to putting a few pounds on
• baked Wensleydale & Roasted Onion Scones (adapted from a standard Cheese Scone recipe) and Maple, Pecan & Raisin Oaty Cookies http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1263676/maple-pecan-and-raisin-oaty-cookies for Mr F's lunchboxes
• a little admin work
• Roasted Squash Risotto with Wensleydale http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/778636/roasted-squash-risotto-with-wensleydale from the meal plan for supper. Had the leftovers for lunch today
• Wine order arrived today so the wine rack is looking healthy again. Haven't opened any yet - honest
• booked our flu jabs
• renewed the house and contents insurance - couldn't get a better deal this time so stayed with T£$c0
• a little more admin work
• fish curry from the meal plan for supper tonight http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4666/superquick-fish-curry

Just read that back - is it any wonder I'm putting weight on We have lots of social events going into the diary for Christmas and I've promised myself a new dress. Not until I've lost 6lbs though!

Have a good night all

I know Beanie - it shouldn't take long if I could just find some will power and stop baking! :rotfl:

That's my problem Brizzle - if it wasn't for the meals I wouldn't have 6 ... 7 lbs to lose! :rotfl:

We love our food in the Fortunate household Karmacat. Eating with friends particularly. If only I could find a way to do it calorie free :rotfl:

A nasty bug and the flu jab have kept me from my normal ramblings. On the mend now though so:

• baked some Banana Bread http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3017/banana-loaf. Chose this recipe as it uses 3 bananas which is just the amount I had sulking in the fruit bowl. Used yoghurt instead of buttermilk and am very pleased with the results. I've put half in the freezer as Mr F is away (again) for the first half of the week and won't need any lunches
• did the monthly money shuffle. Nothing left over this month though as we have to pay for house and contents insurance, heating oil, septic tank emptying and boiler servicing. Still, that will set us up for the winter along with the full log store
• Mr F did some work on a friend's car this morning and they bought him a huge supply of beer in return. I shouldn't have to buy him any now for a good few weeks :T
• Fish curry from the freezer for supper tonight. I didn't know whether I'd feel up to cooking today and we may visit a local pub tonight to see our friends' band play

Hope you're all well and happy
