Morning all.  Thanks for the get well wishes - woke up feeling a lot better this morning but suddenly don't feel quite right again.  Already planned on pyjama day for work as I have no calls but think I may have to go back to bed again.  DH ordered a pizza last night as he said it's "medicinal" but I think he actually didn't want to battle with the oven again As I only had a small bowl of soup all day, I can safely say I enjoyed every bit, although the thought of food is making my stomach turn at the moment so having some peppermint tea to calm it down a bit.  

When I eventually feel like eating, I'm probably going to make some pumpkin porridge with cinnamon and nutmeg as I have a whole bunch of home made pumpkin puree to use up and it just sounds comforting to me right now.  Hope you all have a good day.

Sorry you're still not feeling to good ruby.  Get yourself back to bed - it'll do you good.

Pumpkin porridge sounds interesting, not something I've ever had; in fact I don't think I've ever had pumpkin!  I tend to stick with butternut squash.

Breakfast looks lovely bubbs.  Are they Linda McCartney red onion and rosemary sausages?  Haven't had those for ages.  I usually just cook butchers low fat ones with our fry ups.

Oh that massive cauli, i just weighed it out of interest 😂 4lb 101/2 oz's, so it was a big bugga! I said about 4lb but more

Out of interest I just went and weighed the half I've got left and that weighs 2lb 2oz so suspect mine was about 4 and half lb so not much smaller than yours!  I think the half I used was slightly bigger than the piece that's left.  Are you going to rice the whole thing or just half of it?

We both got big ones then  😂😂
No, only did about 1/5 of it, only me that eats it, but i want to make a lasagna next week, so will use it up after dinner Sunday making a cheese sauce, but saying that doubt it will be Monday i make it as i have the dentist 🙄

Take care ruby. Life's difficult enough without feeling ill as well.😊

Primula sounds like a bargain bubbs. I was pleased to get mine for £1. 😊 I did notice some at 87p in Farmfoods but I'm convinced it was a smaller tube . I didn't buy any but thought I'd make everyone aware. 

We enjoyed out meal last night. It was really good to meet up with DD2 and her family. I made wise choices (smoked trout followed by halibut) but portions were small. I'd have had a cheeseboard but the others who'd had things like battered fish and pate didn't want puddings.  I was still  hungry when I got home so had 3  Ryvita with Marmite and Primula. 😋

Back on plan today
B- NAS grapefruit, skinny syrup, banana (F), HEB porridge, HEA milk
L- veggie omelette (P,S), ham (P), pickles (S)
D- sausages, potato (F), cauli, broccoli, onions, greens (S), gravy (F)
Syns- Aldi sausages 1

(Gravy's free because it's LO from HB recipe. I never bother counting half a tsp of cornflour shared with DH!)

How many syns in a blackcurrant and liquorice sweetie? I had 2 today and 3 yesterday, someone brough them into work and I couldn’t resist! Whoops

So today I had a hospital appointment (a pin which has been in my leg/ankle for approx. 20 years has made its way to just under the skin) so I have been putting off the op but went today and it will be happening at the end of the month under local so all good. Usually I would have stopped somewhere on the way home (kfc/mcdonalds/sandwich shop etc etc) but instead I nipped home for a tin of tomato soup before heading back to work. So I still think im winning a bit even if I did eat the sweeties.

Tonight after a long walk, really nice night for a walk I will be having gammon steak and roasted courgette, peppers, onions and mushrooms and maybe an egg.
