    Nom nom - love veggie chilli.... even when I use steak mince, I pack it out with all sorts of other stuff too. I have one on the menu plan, so might make a batch of it later and have some for dinner tonight. Yummy.

    How is it being back at work?

    My veggie chilli with rice was very nom nom nom indeed.

    I have 5 slices of evil left, and worked out that toasted, with crusts cut off, and an entire jar of marmalade makes me want to heave less;)

    Technically the 'bread' is now out of date, however tbh in date/out of date it still tastes like shittycrap - hey MSE let me type shittycrap:T
    This loaf is my nemesis and I WILL FINISH IT ('cept for the crusts and the outsiders:D)

    Work is good - managed to put in a few belly laughs today, which is very good for the soul:)

    Just wanted to say hi now I am back from my holibobs. I am still keeping my food diary although I need to fill it in since we got home, I am waiting to discuss it with the doc however I think potatoes may be my issue! Of course the doc will probably highlight something else.

    Off to read/catch up on all the other diaries.

    How's the lovely healthy bread going? DS has come home with a hole in a pair of walking boots - if there's any left maybe it would do to patch the sole?

    He certainly did - he was in bed for 4pm and it took me a good 5 minutes to wake him up for dinner - completely zonked.

    Now I've been hacked he will have to go bare foot if you don't send sole patches down.

    HM chicken curry for dinner :T

    I will fashion him a new pair of walking boots out of my excess lard. Due to the quantity of which, will last him a lifetime :D
