Afternoon all
They said wind, they didn't say bloody gales! 🤣
You ought to see me trying to get the washing on the line 😂😂 did it though and its dry and in now, just starting another littlw ironing pile
Maman yes where does the time go? can see how people that have retired say don't know how they had time to go work and this with all the restrictions.
I admit done sweet FA today, we had brunch, i had egg wraps with sausage and mushroom with tomato on the side.
We have a winner, winner chicken dinner for tea
Have you all seen the waste from the panic buying? absolutely criminal when people can't get food 😡😡Sealed pot challenge number 003 £350 for 2015, 2016 £400 Actual£345, £400 for 2017 Actual £500:T:T £770 for 2018 £1295 for 2019:j:j spc number 22 £1,457Stopped Smoking 22/01/15:D:D::dance::dance:- 5 st 1 1/2lb :dance::dance:2 -
Absolutely agree bubbs, it is criminal. Nobody should waste food. I'm even using veg stalks to make soup - they're being frozen at the moment until I get enough to make a decent soup, think it's going to be mainly cauliflower and cabbage as haven't had any broccoli in my veg box and none coming this week either, although I've got some sprouting purple for dinner tonight so probably some of it will be a bit woody so will be peeled and go into the bag.
I don't think you've been particularly lazy Maman. You might have done less than you would have liked but that doesn't make you lazy. It's good to sit down and read for a while but it doesn't make you lazy. You've also been out for your daily walk so you've had your exercise - we're not even doing that most days!
Have made some feta & chickweed patties (a bit like bubble & squeak cakes) which uses up the chickweed and we can have with eggs & beans for dinner tomorrow night. I'm glad I've made them this afternoon as they are extremely sticky. They only used less than a tsp for all 4 patties so I don't think I'll Syn them as work out at less than 0.25 syns per pattie.
Enjoy the rest of the day people.

Sorry to hear that Sleazy but it happens sometimes for no particular reason. Hopefully it'll come straight back off next week. Just stick with it, hard as that can be.

Oh dear no slimmer of the week unless beanilou lost some? GTQ I wasn't sure if you wanted a +2, and I don't think I have missed tweets or matron midge. I was surprised I lost with the chocs, but we were doing a Boris walk most days as social life on hold. Tried to get tena products for aged mother, bit like loo roll, empty shelves. Not liking the q'ing to get in the stores and having to plan 7 days of mains and suppers.2 -
I am around bubbs.

I hope everyone is well & coping with everything that's going on at the moment!I have been laid off from work on 80% pay, so god knows when I'll be going back.Our SW group has closed obviously - I got the offer to take up the virtual group option for £2.50 a week, but I declined. I will need to think of a new strategy because I don't want to be putting on loads of weight because I've stopped attending group.I just cannot seem to follow the plan at the moment as shopping is a nightmare!Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £26,322.671
