Thanks bubbs I decided to take the appointment for 2 weeks time and if I'm suffering in between then I'll take any doctor. I can see a doctor any day but it won't be the one who referred me for the tests.

Did you have fake KFC tonight or are you still varying the menu?:)

Looks like we need to make the most of today as the weather tomorrow looks diabolical!

Am planning on doing some cooking today - some for today and some for the freezer. Also want to get out for a walk and some fresh air.

Today's plan:

B - fry up - sausages; egg; beans; mushrooms; grilled tomatoes - P;S;F + 2
L - sweet chilli noodles with veg stirred through - F;S; + 2
D - HM faggots; mash; cabbage; green beans - P; F; S

HEA - milk
HEB - none planned
Syns - sausages 2; sweet chilli sauce 2; nothing else planned (damage limitation!)

I did stick to my SW food last night! I had my jerk chicken and coleslaw. But.... I ate the lot of chicken. Ooops! Means there's none left for today. But still only 4 syns, right?

I also had quite a few syns in prosecco and wine, eek.

I'm free as a bird today, no children to cook for and I do what I like. Was thinking about what is in the freezer and there's a similar vein going through it all.

2 x Chicken and Rice
2 x Chicken Tikka Masala
1 x Chicken Saag

And after four portions of chicken, I don't think I can face chicken again! Plus, it's the weekend. Trying to get out of my "want to eat everything in sight," so not sure what to have.

I am meeting my mum in a little bit to have a nose around the shops. Will probably take two boiled eggs as my snack, but other than that, can't decide what to have.

WI with loss of .8lb, amazed as not had a good week food wise.

Off to favourite Nieceys wedding today but hubby is in a right grump, biting everyone’s head off for slightest thing. England won the rugby so what’s his problem (other than not wanting to go to wedding :mad:)
Wish me luck

If the jerk chicken is 1 syn per portion and you ate all 4 portions then it's 4 syns Pollyanna . Far better for you than a Papa Johns pizza (between 7 and 14 syns per slice:eek:) even if you are sick of chicken.:D

I'm going to do some cooking today too denise. I'm putting Bolognese in the SC and a pan of swede & carrot mash for tomorrow and freezer and make more frozen chips. What's great about the chips is that they taste better (drier and crisper) but having made the effort then I have the convenience of oven chips during the week. This week I forgot to spray them before freezing and it didn't make any difference at all so I'll just spray before they go into the oven in future.

We're having Lancashire hotpot this evening for a change. I plan to leave most of the fat on the chops for cooking and cut it off at the table. So some fat will go into the juices but I'm not worrying about that. It doesn't happen often.;)

Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit (F), HEB toast, HEA milk, scrambled eggs (P)
L Probably JP (F) with cottage cheese (P) and pickles (S)
Lancashire hotpot (P,F,S) with cabbage
Syns: HP sauce 1, weekend wine:)

Well done on your loss tie.:T Your dress will fit perfectly.:)

Hopefully your DH will cheer up when he gets there. Even if he doesn't there'll be plenty of other people to talk to.:D

Well done on the loss TIE.

I've got red cabbage & apple in the SC. Won't be ready until this evening so will keep a portion out for tomorrow's dinner and the rest will be portioned up for the freezer but probably won't do that until the morning to make sure it's cold before going in.

There was a change of plan for lunch - we had some stir fried veg with the noodles with soy so saved a couple more Syns! DH didn't fancy the cold noodles so we probably had more Speed than we would have done with the cold noodles.

I'm just having a cup of coffee and then I'm back to the kitchen to make the faggots for tonight and a couple of portions for the freezer to have later in the month or even next month, haven't decided yet.

Maman do you par boil your chips before freezing or just cut and put in the freezer? If par boiled how long for? This is something I've been meaning to do but haven't got round to yet!

Yes, I do exactly the same as I would cooking from fresh. I peel and cut quite chunky chips. Parboil for a bare 5 minutes, drain, cool and then open freeze. When ready to cook I spread them on one of those mesh trays, spray with frylight and cook for about 30 minutes, turning the tray round half way through. Cooking time and temperature depend on what I'm cooking at the same time.

joedenise

Thanks Maman. Will definitely have to give them a go.

Well the faggots are all made and in the tin ready to go into the oven for about half hour before dinner!

Have just mixed up some carrot cake mixture and that's now in the oven cooking, only makes half a dozen. It's a Pinch of Nom recipe so no idea how they'll turn out! The frosting is made with quark, vanilla & sweetener. They work out at 1 syn each so if they're OK could be a nice treat now and again. They're pretty similar to baked oats so could eat all half dozen over the course of the day as an HEB!

Will let you know how they turn out.

Missed two WIs as have been on holiday to Mallorca. All Inclusive and tried to make healthy choices from the VAST selection but did have loads of alcohol and I barely drink at home. Very pleased to report just a one pound gain.
