    Hi All :)
    Have added you DFF :)

    Spent the day at the beach today, but took a picnic with us! So no fish and chips, no ice creams, i actually spent £0.00! Pretty darn impressed with myself :)

    So i had a mix of salad, tomatoes, cucumber, melon and a cereal bar. Yummy!

    Dollar pancakes are just drop scones without any milk or dairy products.

    Afternoon all :)

    My lunch today was pitta stuffed with salad, hummus, sweet chilli sauce and cucumber.

    I am in the middle of painting my front room as we 'speak', so it had to be something really quick.
