  • It's one of our favourite soups Tilly :drool:
    No added cheese for me today though :A
    Lovely Mr MWC will be making it this morning before he heads out so I only have to reheat a portion (or two!) when I get in from work :kisses3:

    I hope Mr MWC gets a shift on, and manages to come with you on holiday!

  • I'm WFH this morning (saving 50 miles of petrol :T) and then it's the weekend :j

    I really must spend some time tidying up the back garden this weekend - it's a disgrace :o

    Other plans for the weekend include:

    - [STRIKE]Fat[/STRIKE] chub club (thanks beanie!)
    - think about how I'm going to lose weight next week as I'm away on business Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday :(
    - either sow some seeds or decide what/when
    - browse/shop for holiday clothes (must look at itinerary again to see if we're in one place long enough to get laundry done)
    - a couple of long-ish walks

    I've sold 3 boxes of eggs for £4 this week (and possibly another box for £2.50 today)

    MWC, when you're away from home like that, do you never have a room picnic of M&S salad or something?

  • That's one of my options for Monday evening KC!

    I'm not being taken out for dinner and there's nothing low cal on the hotel menu, so I'll explore Edinburgh during the afternoon and buy something healthy to eat back in the hotel :)

    Tuesday lunch will be out of my control. Tuesday dinner will be at the airport so probably sushi :drool:

    Thursday lunch will be a salad at another airport. I'll be out for dinner on Thursday evening but will say no to starter, dessert and wine :A

    Friday lunch will be out of my control. Friday dinner will be probably be a banana!

    Sounds good to me! Hope you can find lots of tasty fruit to snack on in the hotel :)

  • It has been a nice day today!

    I made carrot, sweet potato & squash soup for lunch - the recipe is a keeper :T

    I spent an enjoyable couple of hours pottering in the garden this afternoon - still lots to do but it's looking much better :)

    The Girls laid 6 eggs today and I had poached eggs on toast for dinner :)

    I went for a 5-mile walk this evening :)

  • Another good day :)

    Chub club weigh-in = 3lb loss (15lb in 6 weeks) :j

    Pegged the washing out (and brought it in before a hail storm!)

    Another couple of hours of gardening

    Went for a walk with Mr MWC - only 3.5 miles but currently at 16,000 steps for the day

    Operation empty the freezer continues - 3 x fish fingers, 4 rashers bacon, 6 eggs, gooseberry puree, 250g minced beef and a pork shank removed today :T

    Eggs IN 4
    Eggs OUT 1 (for Mr MWC's lunch)
