    Thanks EE for the information. If I can retrieve the important bits that will be enough. It's just that I often get contacted by people on brain tumour forums asking me questions. I can't always remember the finer details so I used my diary to remind me.

    Have emptied my purse and now have £41.15 in my jar :)

    The soup I made today is absolutely gorgeous. If you google chunky butternut squash, chickpea and lime soup it should bring up the WW recipe. I substituted the spinach with kale and omitted the garlic as I don't want to smell of it at work. I made it in my soup maker but added the chickpeas afterwards to add some substance. Made 4 very generous portions for 1 point each.

    Well the weekend passed in a blur, can't believe it's Monday again tomorrow. Feel the need for a day off soon, got 2 days off in February, not sure I can wait that long.

    Mr SA is driving me mad with the TV tonight getting ITV and ITV plus 1 mixed up. We've been all over the place with Dancing on Ice.

  • So sorry it got deleted, I am another one who read the whole way through when I first found DFW.

    Soup sounds excellent.

  • Oh SA that's awful, I can't believe that some people can be so mean. I really hope that your diary can be reinstated.

    Enjoy your soup xx
  • The plot thickens - the threads about this on MSE feedback have gone, as has the spam button.
  • Seems there was a load of spamming over the weekend and as such they've temporarily disabled the spam button.

    Any new users that join can't post yet either, as a temporary measure.

    That's Monday done.

    Felt quite meh today, could've quite happily done nothing all day.

    Went for a run in the gym at lunchtime and felt much better afterwards.

    Already spent £17.50 out of grocery budget today. Running out loads of stuff although should be ok this week.

    AFD 9 tonight. I don't like beer but discovered I like alcohol free beer, tastes quite nice and feels like a treat. Not a patch on red wine though.

    Can't believe more diaries have been disappearing :(
