Hope your throat is improving milann.

And I'm so, so sorry to hear the news of your friend's deterioration. What a heartbreaking decision for his poor wife. . You are so right in that you must make the best of every day. Get that cruise booked.

I think you'll love the Motown musical. I saw it a while back - it's great!:j

Well done too with SW. it's really clicked into place with you. Here's to another good weight loss this week!:)

Thanks SG and Beanie.
Beanie it was a stew not a pie but you could easily put a crust on and make it a pie or even pasties.
Dice potatoes, onion, carrot and leek, a couple of oxo, salt and pepper. Simmer until tender - chop a can of corned beef and add to it. (Could use slices instead if wanted- whatever you have in)
Continue to cook until corned beef heated - it’ll break down to nothingness but taste good.
I put a can of butter beans in this time but I don’t always.
Thicken it with cornflour and cold water mix.
It’s really tasty - you can add any other veg you want or leave out what you don’t want. I serve it with pickles or beetroot and/ or red cabbage. I always make a big pan full as it’s always nicer the 2nd day.
Depending how much corned beef and cornflour you use it works out around 2 syns - everything else is free food on SW

Really looking forward to tomorrow - Motown is my era :cool: and we will eat out in big city nearby so won’t be a NSD by any stretch of the imagination....:o

Motown show was amazing - expensive but well worth it. Meal was lovely too as were the sweets and wine that were consumed - can safely say it wasn’t SW friendly but I still photographed everything I ate for my records. I’ll get straight back tomorrow. We walked 61/2 miles around town and to the train so am happily shattered now and planning a nice lie in tomorrow with bacon butty in bed

I even managed to croak my way through the songs but my voice has given up now - I probably shouldn’t have sang but couldn’t help myself :eek::rotfl:

Glad that you had a good time :j :j
Enjoy your lie in & bacon butty

Really pleased to hear you enjoyed the Motown show! But I knew you would! :j:D

I think you deserve that bacon butty though after all those miles you clocked up! :eek: Well done!:j

Have a good Sunday milann.

Hope you enjoyed the bacon butty.
Thought of you this morning :drool:

I did indeed enjoy my bacon butty. Went out unexpectedly to a train show with dh - not as sad as it sounds :ohonest. Saw some friends there which was lovely. It was a couple of hours drive away so we spent a couple of hours there mooching and chatting and consuming several cups of coffee. I was quite good and took SW bars so I didn’t give in to cake :A we stopped part way home around Birmingham area and went to a carvery just off the motorway which we’ve been to many times before. They had hardly any veg left - basically just peas and sweet corn which didn’t impress me I’d hoped to pack my plate with meat and ‘proper’ veg which they’d obviously run out of. We had a Sunday special instead - steak, chips, mushroom and tomato for 2 plus a bottle of wine for £20 - which I thought was amazing value...especially as dh paid :money::beer: The wine was handed over completely fastened so it’s squirrelled away in my cupboard.....I wanted a sugar free drink to try and do a bit of damage limitation after yesterday and dh was driving so didn’t want wine. So a lovely unexpected day....not good on the housework front though:eek:
