Hi everyone and Merry Christmas
I've been busy for a few days - Mumma came to stay and we went to London then it was payday yesterday so I was out all day. Both Mumma and I overindulged in the Pizza Hut lunchtime buffethowever thanks to walking 13 miles in 2 days round the London shops and the Birmingham shops I have, according to Boots scales, lost two pounds
if I can keep that up till Monday that's my Club 10 before Xmas
fingers crossed.
Menus for the last couple of days have been lousy and today's not much betterbut heres today's.
B: Scrambled eggs with Worcester sauce, pint of NAS cordial
Missed lunch as late breakfast and early tea
T: SW pasta carbonara made with HEXA Laughing Cow blue cheese triangles, ham and chicken chunks, some of OH's cheese flatbread (7.5 syns) Cherry Mullerlight, HEXB HiFi Choc Bliss Bar, pint of NAS cordial
S: 2 bananas, 2 satsumas, and 35mls of vodka (measured) with a lot of Diet Coke.
Total: 11.5 syns

Morning all. :wave:
I thought I should pop on and share menus.
Yesterday was raspberries for breakfast.
Lunch (in town shopping) so opted for a boots meal deal - I chose the shapers Around the World Japanese Style Salmon & Prawn Sushi Rice Salad(just over 200 calories - so hoping it was low syn).
Tea was naughty - out for indian and drinks - had 2 malibu and diet cokes (I can never tell the difference so hope they were diet !) and one small glass of rose wine. So lots of syns but enjoyed it.
Today's plan is something like this:
Breakfast: Fruit
Lunch: Hmmm not sure yet - after mention of scotch eggs - might be tempted to make them ...
Tea: SW chips and ???:T
Have a great day all x0 -
Just a quick call to post menu. Yesterday was OK but did succumb to most of a bar of chocolate marzipan last night.:o I knew I put the Christmas sweets out too soon, should have left them out of sight and out of mind.;)
Today:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, fried egg, mushrooms
L: frittataout at SIL's party. Probably a hot meal but healthy so fingers crossed. Not decided yet who's driving so maybe potential for saving syns there.

Thank you for your kind words everyone :A
Finally arranged the funeral, it isn't until 8th January so quite a wait. It was either that or New Years Eve and we didn't want that. Tomorrow we are arranging the service, am dreading it as will be so emotional.
I popped into work on Friday and was amazed by the gift from a group of parents (John Lewis vouchers for an amazing amount) it's nice to be appreciated. I got lots of hugs from work colleagues so am glad I went in.
for Shala - 1.4lb Gain not surprised at all as not eating anywhere near healthy as can't be arsed. Am still 2.5lb below target going into Christmas though.
Also having all the purple cut out of my hair as purple is my happy colour and as I don't feel happy it has to go. Also it's become a pain having to redo it so often. May do it again in the summer.
Merry Christmas to one and all, hope its a happy & healthy one :AIts not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T

Tie - hugs - organising a funeral is one of the hardest things to do but its also quite a nice time as people share memories of your mum that you may not have remembered. My aunt in her part of the service shared things he had told her about me and my sister and although it made me cry it was a nice thing to hear and have locked away xxx hugs xxx I can understand the hair cut I removed my eyebrow piercing for the funeral as my dad had always disliked it and it was my way of marking a respect I suppose xxx grief is a weird one it really is and there's no right way to deal with it xxx
Glad that you faced work - it helped my family to get the awkward first moment over before returning to work full time xxx
Again here anytime xxxx
Dd and I have lurgydd has conjunctivitis spent 2 hours in walk in centre to get drops she hates having put in

:jNice to see so many a fraction of their former selves:j:beer:well done:beer:. Putting my ducks in order to lose the lbs i gain over the scoffalot season. :eek: I can't decide whether to do group or online for a few weeks. Amazing how the "do i need it" mentality" has stopped me from buying a bucket load of chocolate this year!
What ever happens, enjoy yourself, and don't beat yourself up, it can come off the hips just as easily as it will go on.:D0 -
Afternoon all. Was too busy out and working yesterday to post.
Welcome Skintandscared and well done on your loss so far.
We were out very early yesterday to Suffolk, but I was a good girl and microwaved some porridge in a plastic takeaway tub, and took it with me, wrapped it in my fleece and put one of those handwarmers you get from Poundland with it. Kept it piping hot for over an hour, when I then felt awake enough to eat it. We stopped on our way home and had a cooked breakfast for lunch in Asda. Good value at £4.50 each we thought.
I'm manically trying to get customer orders done and ready for delivery for their Christmas (I'm a home baker). So returned for a 250 mile round trip yesterday to bake 5 dozen mince pies, and ice a cake. No rest for the wicked, eh? More baking and decorating today, so this is just a flying visit.
Here's my food for yesterday & today:
Sat: EE
B - Porridge (HExB+ extra porridge 4.5syns, milk (HExA)
L - bacon, sausage 5 syns, hash brown 2 syns, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, egg
D - Banana & cream 3.5 syns, apple, satsuma, WW greek lemon fromage frais
Total syns: 15
Today : EE
B - porridge HExB + extra 4.5 syns, milk HExA
L - Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, ham, Tesco light caesar dressing 0.5 syns, WW Greek lemon fromage frais, banana
D - Steak, SW chips, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes
Really looking forward to dinner. We were meant to have it last night, but our lunch was very filling, and I was too busy working to cook or eat until later. OH wasn't that hungry, and benefited from some hot mince pies and cream to stave his hunger (after a bowl of weetabix). Our old routine had been to escape the house on a Saturday evening to go to a McDonalds for dinner, with a coffee and just to have a bit of time together, where we didn't have to leave the children for too long, or coincides with them the children are out at friends. SW has put an end to that for now, as I don't find the chicken salad there satisfying enough, but I thought a nice meal at home would be just as good.
Shala, in the guild that I'm chair of, we use Google docs, that can be accessed by all who need to, you only need their email addresses to give them permission to view/edit them. I do that with our spreadsheets. Not aware of any others, especially that might be free, and compatible for all computers. Just search for Google Docs or Google Spreadsheet, if you have a Google Chrome account it's probably also an app.One day the clocks will stop, and time won't mean a thing
Be nice to your children, they'll choose your care home0
