    Well done Mrs R, that's not to be sniffed at! are you going to treat yourself while you are away? Where you off too?
    Thanks Bubbs :) just away for the night as I’m off to Nottingham to see a comedy show. Think I’m going to keep some of it towards my holiday next month.

    What is it about you and orange Smarties beanie? 🤣
    I'm so pleased you've kept in touch. I'm sure you'll get back on it. 😊

    Morning all.  A bit grey this morning but forecast to be sunnier this afternoon.

    Nice win Mrs R; definitely use some of it to treat yourself.

    Anything we can help you with Beanie?  Might be a good idea not to buy the Smarties then you can't be tempted, LOL!  Good luck with getting back on track and posting regularly again.

    Have had to change today's plan as DH has eaten most of the cheese and there's not enough for us to have the planned cheese on toast!  Shopping tomorrow so will buy more then.

    Today's plan:

    B - Marmite on toast (DH had HM marmalade on his but I'm not prepared to waste syns on it!)
    L - sausages, fried up LO potatoes, beans, onions - S; F; 2
    D - steak, chips, mushrooms, onions - P; S; F

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread
    Syns - sausages 2; non-alcoholic baileys coffee 3.5; maybe a choc covered lolly later 6

    I'm well within syns now so hopefully will have plenty for Wednesday's meal out and be able to choose what I fancy!

    Denise. Believe it or not I am still munching my way through orange smarties from Christmas. They are actually out of date or going out of date!!
    The point of not buying them is of course a good one. I tend to buy things in multipacks as they are cheaper but that is not great in other ways.

    Morning all.  Sorry to hear about the photo drama bubbs.  I'd watermark your pictures here too just in case this is where scammers are getting them from.

    Happy to report a 2.4lb loss this week.  Think this was helped by the extra walks I've been doing this week.  Trying to keep my activity levels up as I'm not leaving the house during the day.

    B - FF greek yogurt, banana, blueberries
    L - Greek salad (cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives - 3 syns), feta cheese (HEA), pitta bread (HEB)
    D - Jacket potato, baked beans, cheese (1/2 HEA), salad
    S - Latte (1/2 HEA)

    How many more smarties do you have left?  Hopefully they'll run out soon so that you can get back on track a bit easier!  Of course they are cheaper in multipacks but certainly not good for SW with smarties though!
