#49 11/17

Another successful TLW day. Packed Hubby off with lo Chilli and I've got the same as yesterday and it was very yummy. So that's another successful day under our belt and I am convinced that with me making more effort that Hubby is spending less to. So double cheer :beer:.

#80 I am on 14/18 but I feel really bad for buying myself breakfast last Friday. Lunch today was Pear and Almond Tart and a latte from John Lewis - which was free - on their loyalty card - if you haven't got one - get one its up to £8 saving if your near a JL store.


I also had some brie and bread - free from an event which was brought back to work yay

lovelife- hope you are OK. The weekend is nearly here, so get some good Zzzz's

LTW: 18/20

Want to make it to the end of the month without spending ANY money if I can, last few days I've forgotten to take LTW and had to get staff food I'm also going to try to go 'paleo' or clean eating in feb after some mental prep (and possibly book a week off!) and do it properly.. No caffeine, crap or alcohol during feb!

My microwave poached eggs actually went quite well, even though tbey did explode :rotfl:

I put them on high instead of medium by mistake and kept a close eye on them. It go to a semi cooked / semi congealled stage and I figured another 15 seonds. It got to 13 seconds and went 'BANG'

I expected carnage when I opened the door but it was mostly the added water that got flung around and very little egg white.

So I cleaned the microwave while the guys in there making their tea and a good old (friendly) laugh at my expense

Darned tasty though and super filling too as I had two eggs in two slices of bread

I'll definately be trying that again
