Dull & waiting for the rain, which is due this afternoon, it's just washing Weymouth at the momentNothing exciting for meals today, amended my Asda shop for Wednesday, and also found the cauliflower has gone up, so I removed that while I was there.I've found online fresh veg is hit & miss, but it was worth a gamble on offer at 88p, but not at £1.19Lunch, summat on toastDinner, last of the LO cold roast pork, maybe with more salad bits, or if raining, AF chips for comfortNumerus non sum0

Good morning everyone,
Thanks Brambling and Wednesday, still a fair bit to go but I'm aiming for slow and steady. That is an excellent loss Wednesday.
I'd seen these Scotch eggs Brambling but will give them a swerve. I did have a lovely one made with smoked haddock when I was out once but I think the "wrapping" was a mix of fish, potato and a bit of cheese sauce. It certainly wasn't a low cal version lol!.
We both enjoyed the curry last night, I made the full amount of the sauce but only used two portions of it with the chicken and veg and there's a portion of curry for the freezer too unless DS2 wants it for lunch. My efforts to create some space in the freezer aren't going too well!
Yesterday ended up kind of disappearing, I wasn't firing on all cylinders and had a long nap in the afternoon and DS2 had to run an errand so the cleaning will need to get tackled today. The nap, an early night and a lie in seem to have curbed the lurgy and I think I'll be fine to meet up with a friend tomorrow.
Crumpets with poached eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms for brunch. Freezer raid dinner tonight to use up the chorizo, savoy and butter bean soup/stew I made a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, I didn't do much other than catching up on the laundry and enjoying a walnut whip or two with my cuppa.
The weather is a bit grey and windy today but ideal for catching up on some of the tv programmes I missed.
Lunch was salad with cottage cheese and beetroot.
Dinner is roast chicken with roasted broccoli, carrot and sweet potato.
