    Hope all goes well tomorrow Denise....could you maybe go away for a long weekend to some where nice. It might do you good a change.

    Would love to be able to to but it's not just me at the hospital and/or doctors but also DH. This week has been worse than usual! Every day an appointment with Dr or hospital for one or other of us!!!

    Had hoped to get away this weekend after I'd seen my GP first thing then got a call from the garage to say that they have the airbag fix for my car - there was a recall about 2 years ago:eek: and they've only just got the airbags so Friday written off as well.

    Originally we were going to go away Friday to Monday but now DH has an appointment on Monday so we'd really only be able to get away for a night, seems hardly worthwhile particularly with the weather forecast for the weekend.

    I'm sure we'll eventually be able to sort something out!

    Well did it again weight loss 1 and 1/2 lb and drum rolls.....didn't need to pay as in range....so want to get to bottom end range and try and maintain there for a while and might push down again in future.


    As a treat have bought the prawn dim sums from M & S which will have with cauliflower rice chinese style ( still on sale till shortage hits). The dim sums are 200 cal for pack when steamed so not too bad.


    Hope you are feeling ok Denise after yesterday....did you say back tomorrow.!


    Duchess pots used to make and freeze for christmas years ago, Sure Denise will give us the SW version.


    Catch up with you soon


    P.S anyone heard from Lord PP
    :T:T:T:T well done
    No not heard from PP :( hope he/she is ok

    Duchess potatoes sound more posh than they are, LOL! It's just mashed potato, usually piped but I just use a spoon and dollop onto a baking sheet and then bake. They go brown & crispy. I just find it easier than trying to reheat mashed potato any other way. I don't seem to be able to reheat it evening usually. Think they could have done with a bit longer as they didn't get crispy but were still nice.

    As I'd only planned 0.5 syn for today decided to pinch one of DH's "Magnum style" lollies for 11 Syns! But I'm still within syns for the week.

    Not weighing this week as off to hospital again tomorrow.

    Hoping I manage to get a loss next week when I go to WI.

    It's looking more and more likely we're not going to be able to go on holiday at the end of the month. I'm still waiting for an appointment with a consultant and when I phoned to check how long the waiting list is was told hopefully within 13 weeks! Could be middle of October before I get an appointment - just hope I don't have to continue with the weekly hospital visits until then!!!

    Denise

    Good luck tomorrow Denise :)

    Evening all :D
    What a dismal day:(

    So bubbs you're saying that once someone wins Slimmer of the Year they keep it for ever until someone comes along and beats it! If I'm understanding it correctly then that's more like they're the club's record slimmer. That's not the same as the best slimmer in the past year which is what I thought it was supposed to be.:think:

    That's madness. So you could only win if if she put on 12 lbs. I think your consultant has got it wrong. Just out of interest I'll ask next time I go to group.

    Tea looks lush as always:D. It's so cold here I'm starving. :(

    Ours was - you nominated who you felt as a member had lost weight our who you felt helped and supported you and gave feedback that helped you. She kept on saying Women of the Year then corrected to person of the year:)
