  • Loved the dress bubbs though I think it might be a little bright for me - still getting getting used to the fact I don’t need to wear navy / black anymore.

    Today has been totally off plan - hubby & I went out for lunch today, very unusually - so will need to rein it in for the remainder of the week.

    I also failed to go swimming this morning - not sure what has happened to us this weekend as we’ve both slept in very late. Tomorrow could be interesting lol

    Thanks Beanielou. Really scared but know it needs doing as I'm desperate to be off the drugs and feeling normal again. Been keeping busy doing batch cooking for whilst I'm recovering.

    Not been a very on plan weekend and doubt tomorrow will be any better, but once I escape hospital afterwards I can get back on plan

    The white stuff is back with a vengeance here! We haven’t got rid of the last lot so getting out of our village is difficult. The bus stopped coming up on Friday too. It’s less than a mile from main road, but it’s a dead end here so no through traffic. There’s no shop either.

    Welcome home, Denise.

    Great loss, Sunshine (blooming amazing!)

    I’m with Nicki re the dress, bubbs. Do try it on though; these wrap type things look terrible on me but great on nearly everyone else! What about wee boots to wear with it? Although, with the weather here, wellies would be more appropriate!

    maman, your boys done good!

    Nicki, what size is your Instant Pot. I planned to replace my huge stovetop pressure cooker (circa 1973) with a new digital one. I got a 3l one and I am unhappy cos it is toty – and recipe book is almost non existent! It works fine, but I am still hankering after a bigger one – even although there are just 2 of us. I have 2 slow cookers which I use often – a 3l and a 5l.

    Today I scraped in under 15 syns :
    Breakfast: hexb porridge, banana
    Lunch: hm pea & ham soup, WW raspberry yogurt
    Snack: shortbread finger (5)
    Dinner: BBQ chicken drumsticks (made in old pressure cooker - 1), wedges, coleslaw (1), 24g gingerbread (5), ½ pot Ambrosia light custard (3 ½ )
    Snack: hexa cheese & grapes

    Dreading going out tomorrow morning; roads are awful.
