At least this challenge is getting us all at least talking about the amount of Speed we're having.  Have to admit I probably don't always have enough but feel like I'm at least trying to have a bit more - really want to get that loss this week after, I think, 4 weeks with STS!

I eat tonnes of it 🤣🤣

It will come good in the end Denise

I hope so!  I seem to have been sticking to plan (better than usual!) and still not losing.  It's getting really frustrating.

Wow bubbs, that's going it some with the eggs! I buy 12 a week on average but 18 this week as I had none left at all. As DH doesn't eat eggs at all I suppose that explains it. 🤔

We use about 2 dozen most weeks although occasionally more like 3 dozen, usually depending on how often we have eggs for breakfast.  This week I've had to buy 3 dozen as we had completely run out.

Actually used an uncounted egg tonight as DH said he'd rather have mash than roast potatoes and I always mash with an egg rather than the usual milk and butter!

But if i make a quiche , which i do most weeks is 8 eggs, an omelette 3, breakfast i usually have 2 or 3, if i have egg for tea that's 4 me & dh , 2 eggs for kfc, 2 for egg fried rice, 2 for yorkies soon adds up
I still have not made my Christmas cake 😂 better do it this week i think 🤣

joedenise

You're pushing it for Christmas cake bubbs leaving it until now!  I don't eat it so never bother but my mum used to make cake and puds in October.  My sister has made hers and was saying, when I spoke to her today, that she needs to buy apricot jam so that she can marzipan it.

Agree with the number of eggs needed - boiled or fried 4 eggs; scrambled 6; mash 1 or 2; KFC 1 or 2.  Don't do fried rice and only do yorkies now and then but that would be 2 so like you say they soon add up!

bubbs

I don't feed it Denise, and i don't marzipan and ice it, i use nuts and dried fruit on top 😋The reason i have not made it is i cannot find the recipe i have always used so got to use a different one, all the stuff is in the cupboard 😂

My sister had the same problem with her cake recipe!  She couldn't find her usual one so had to use another one and said it took far longer to cook than the recipe said so rather than getting to bed at a reasonable time she was up until nearly midnight!  No idea why she didn't just make it in the morning rather than leaving it until late afternoon!  Think she may well do that next year.

Back later once I've got myself sorted out a bit and had some breakfast - bit late this morning as had a nice lie in until just after 8.30am.

Back again having had my breakfast and very nice it was too and, as usual, cooked by DH.  Weather not looking too bad at the moment but the forecast isn't very good so not going to risk doing any washing today - will leave that until next week when the forecast is for dry weather from Monday to Wednesday so will give me plenty of time to get all the washing done.  Dishwasher on now and completely full after breakfast.  DH has washed up all the pans he used as well.

Today's plan:

B - fry up - sausages, eggs, beans, mushrooms - P; S; F; 2
L - HM burger & onions in WM roll - HEB; P; S
D - beef stew - shin beef; garlic, carrots, onions, turnips, swede, parsnips; mash, cabbage - P; S; F

HEA - milk
HEB - WM roll
Syns - 2 low fat sausages; rum and ginger beer x 2 5

Speed foods today:  mushrooms, onions, garlic, carrots, onions, turnips, swede, cabbage and probably an orange - 9

Morning all

Denise i think it's cause i didn't use it last year as my sister bought a cake from Costco and it was lush, but of course she has not been since Covid because she went with a friend. I have found one , but alot have booze in and we don't drink so don't want that and got to be careful this year with nuts as my sister has been having reactions.

It is dry here but very cold, i have been and put washing in, my machine is outside (well in a shed) put the sheets in the drier, next lot ready to go in.

I have sold a few bits online and people are coming for them today.

I won't have as much speed today, 3 different fruit, I will have BLT egg wraps so mixed leaves and toms in them ,mushrooms, onions and pepper on my pizza 🤣🤣

Hello all
Have stayed away from the scales as it keeps going the wrong way 😔 I know why but don’t seem to be able to sort things out at the moment 🥺
Be glad when I’m off to get back in control 🤞🏻

Add to this is I’m in pain all the time which is connected to my back condition. The sciatic nerve is being aggravated so I have pain in my back and both legs. During the day my hips hurt and often give way and at night pain wakes me up no matter which way I lay. What I need is a hover bed 🤣. Will look into Drs after hospital as probably speak to them about results anyway.
1 week to go 🥴 oh must tell you this, my sendco suggested as I was only isolating I could team video with his nibs during the last week, !!!!!! cheek or what 😤
