The "Just Keep Swimming" July NSD Thread

mismatch

NSD fail today as I've succumbed to the heat to purchase icecream and was distracted by reduced calories in boxes in my fave cabinet in the shop-cheapy yellow stickers- (but damn they taste twice as good when only 30p not £1.60) so spent £4.55 on cake, crap, bread . milk and the aforementioned icecream. 2 carrier bags so not bad but not strictly needed so I feel guilty, but for now the donuts r taking the guilt away

We dont fail on this thread, we just dont always quite manage to meet our targets.

Hi everyone

Numbers 2 and 3 NSDs gained. These were 7th and today 13th July.

NSD 6 today:T

and

3-in-a-row :j

I'm ahead in the food stakes this weekend as well, as I called in to see my mum and dad this afternoon, and my mum insisted on me taking some food with me (tomato & marscapone sauce, and spinach & walnut ravioli, from Sainsbury); it was actually from my sister, as she and the family are off on holiday today, so passed on some near-sell-by-date food to my parents.
And my mum wouldn't take 'no' for answer - mums don't, do they? I bet it's the same the world over, when sons and daughters visit parents, the mums always insist on them taking some food away with them.
But I'm a little the same. When friends call round, for whatever reason, they usually leave with some edible goodies; a mate called round earlier in the week to help out with some DIY, and he left with a bottle of HM chipotle sauce and a tub of HM pizza sauce.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, everyone

Yep my mum is the same, she's always got treats for the cats or bits for me, I feel really guilty when she's opening the cupboards looking for things for me to take away with me - I do nip round with the odd home made goody but she's a bit of a difficult eater so sometimes I don't know whether she'll like something or not. However, my friends at work (and OH work) benefit from my baking so I guess I'm passing the good deed on :A

Can't believe it's nearly 10.30pm and we're still sat in shorts and t-shirts with all the windows open :cool:

I'm sure your mum appreciates the food and the gesture/love behind it:)
I think whatever age you are, you're always your mother's son or daughter. Feeding your offspring must be a 'mum gene' or something. (I'm sure it's the same with dads as well, just maybe not with food - maybe fixing something at your home, doing a holiday airport run or whatever.)
And with your baking you're following the law of karma:A - 'what goes around comes around', 'As you sow so shall ye reap', 'It all evens out in the end'- call it what you will.
