    Hi
    Sorry again for not being around. Thanks for the birthday wishes last week.

    We went to see Mary Poppins Returns, my daughter who is 5 loved it, she was bopping along to the songs on the edge of her seat which made me enjoy it even more.

    This last Sunday was a trip to Ikea for a £6 table and ended up spending closer to £70 and had the meatballs with mash, gravy and half a piece of cake so a complete blow out. Hey ho no more money for food so hopefully will be able to loose a bit more this month 😂

    It was 2.5lbs loss for me on Saturday but haven't had a chance to post until now.

    I haven't figured out the quotey thing yet but...

    Shopping wise I do Lidl as mainly cook from scratch so it's nice and cheap. Their big pots of Greek yoghurt are good too. I don't do ff as I'd rather syn it. I use lots of their tinned mackerel in salads, rice and pasta too instead of chicken for really cheap meals.

    Thanks for the chart Chris. Off to catch up on some more of the board
    Evening all :D

    Dinner is looking very tasty bubbles I am cooking mine now.....I'm having Scotch Egg but, have played about with your recipe...Fingers crossed it turns out well.....If it does...I am applying for a patent.....:rotfl:[/QUOTE]
    Here is my dinner.....Vegetable stir fry with a Scotch Egg

    The Scotch Egg was made with lean Turkey mince/one uncooked egg mixed with chopped onions and some spices/seasonings.. Cover one hard boiled egg with mixture and coat in prepared plain cous cous seasoned with some spice / seasoning. Place on a greaseproof sheet and cook in an oven for 30 minutes...Mine is a fan oven set at 185 celcius...

    It is really tasty...

  • bubbles....You should try cous cous.....You can get it dried in packets in various flavours or buy it plain and make your own flavourings....Good to have with salads etc...Probably not everyones cup of tea but if you cook it right....Just lovely...:)

    Just to add tonight's meal was so easy and quick to make.

    I like the idea of making stuffing balls with the red onion sausages as maman suggested.
    Plus I'm going to try scotch eggs with them. Bargain for £1.

    Popping on with a small loss of -1lb pretty much a miracle after the last week. Not been very well behaved today but have given myself a good talking to so hoping for fresh start tomorrow.

    Well done on the brilliant losses chocomonster and Haylaluru :T

    And that scotch egg looks delicious marmite :p

    Lovely looking dinners as well. You always have some lush looking food! Mine was rice bake with left over cabbage, kale and peas! It sounds boring but was actually rather tasty for all it was green :rotfl:

    I’m reporting a loss of -1.5lb Not up with the amazing losses this week but after the 2.5 loss last week, I’m happy :T Just 1lb more to my next shiney :D:rotfl:

    Good luck all, have an amazing week.
