Glad to hear that your son has been awarded the DLA, as you say it should take some of the pressure off.

Also if you get tax credits, notify them as you may get an extra premium.

Morning all, what a horrible day, the weather is awful. Looks like it's bad all over the country too.

WI for me today and having had a sneaky peek it looks I might just get away with a STS which I'll be happy with.

Today's plan (which is going to be very high syn as picked up aromatic duck in M&S the other day so decided Thursday was the best day to use it!):

B - overnight oats - oats HEB; natural greek yoghurt P; frozen cherries & mixed fruit S - will eat after WI
L - HM hash browns F; eggs P; mushrooms, tomatoes S
D - M&S aromatic duck; pancakes; 29 Syns; cucumber, spring onions S

HEA - milk in teas
HEB - oats
Syns - aromatic duck 29

Back later to let you know how WI went!

Gettingtherequickly

I needed to avoid temptation this week, consequently, I have written all of my Christmas cards and wrapped a load of presents :jHope WI reflects this stress!

maman

Wow! you're super organised gtq. :xmassmile

I had my first thoughts about Christmas yesterday and picked up a very few bits while I was out but that's as far as I've got.

29 syns denise!:eek: That's unbelievable. I always thought the shredded duck was quite low syn as the skin is removed but it can't all be in the pancakes. Hope you were happy with WI.

My back is playing up today so I didn't feel like going to WI. I'll go tomorrow as long as I'm OK. The medication makes me sleepy so it wouldn't be safe to drive.

I have a plan and it'll definitely be something with sausages this evening. I might do mash or perhaps boulangere potatoes as a change.

Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit,, baked beans (F), HEB toast, HEA milk, fried egg (P)
L: veg and lentil soup (S,P)
sausages, potatoes (F), carrots, onions, kale (S)
Syns: Aldi skinny sausages 1 syn

Back from WI. The syn free hash browns are in the oven cooking so thought I'd take the opportunity to post my result!

It was a gain of 0.5lb, which I'm pretty surprised by as it ought to have been more. My scales seem to have been out a bit lately so I'll have to add an extra 1/2lb to the reading on them in future - at the moment I add on 1/2lb but looks like I need to add a lb to the figure.

At least it's a new week so syn bank of 105 (+ an extra 20 if I want to use them but very rarely do!)

Just 2 more WIs before my holiday so if I can lose 0.5lb each week I'll be bang on bottom end of target so will give me 6lb to play with:D.

TMD great news about your loss and the backdated award. Hope son is feeling better now too.

Denise I'm sure you'll lose that 0.5lb in a couple of weeks, and a nice cushion of 6lb in readiness for your hols. Regarding non-white-stuff bacon, do you fry, or grill? I find that makes a difference with bacon, however have been buying Aldi's large packs of bacon and finding them both good value, and lacking in the white stuff. Failing that, I did go to a local butcher for their bacon, which they cut to the thickness you want, and their's was good too. I just don't get round to the butcher very often.
I did have SW chips with the steak, and very yummy they were too.

I'm feeling much better today, and yesterday I was okay and feeling more like myself IYSWIM. I'm away this w/end in L'pool, so want to be fine for that.

Yesterday's plan:
B - banana & fruit quark (1)
L - salad (leaves, tomato, cucumber, carrot) & chicken thighs; dressing (2); Mango & strawberries
snack - hifi bars x 2 HEB
D - lean steak casserole with carrots/onions/leeks & mash
snack - 2 rich tea light biccies for supper (4?)

Today's plan:
B - banana
L - LO beef casserole with LO mash; peach
snack - melon/mango/strawberries
D - sweet & sour chicken (3 for sauce) with wholegrain rice & noodles (if I have some - not sure?)
HEA - milk in tea/coffee. HEB none planned at the moment.
I also have a fruit quark I might have this PM if I fancy another snack

I hope you're staying drier than we are in Lincolnshire today, although thankfully we're not flooded in my area (apart from some localised roads). We do live in a flood risk area though, with an emergency route sign posted through my town to get to higher ground!! :eek:
