    I bought some of the Asda wholemeal rolls last week and they are really good and already split so no more wonky cutting in "half" to put in the filling!  Think they were 75p for 6 rolls which is much cheaper than the M&S ones I used to buy!

    Same here beanie. 😊

    I went to Asda earlier as I was on my last tube of Primula. We really enjoy the creamy cabbage and garlic mushrooms so didn't want to run out. It's £1 there at the moment so stocked up. I got some YS diced lamb and pork so that'll make some different meals. Also various bits of veg very cheap so will cut down this week's shop. 😊

    Food today will be:
    B - 2 weetabix, skimmed milk HEXB/HEXA1
    L - poached egg, tomatoes, ham, baked beans
    D - family are having salmon en croute. I will have lo Spanish chicken from the freezer - 4 syns

    Total syns planned 4
    Have a good day everyone,
    Coxy

    Morning all, a bit grey and windy again and also forecast to rain later so washing will have to wait.  Will probably do it at the weekend as it's forecast to rain again tomorrow.  Need to go shopping this morning as run out of fruit again and haven't got much veg either, other than frozen - 1/2 cabbage; 1 cabbage, 1 leek, some celery (so won't need any more!); 1/2 pepper and about 4 small mushrooms - definitely not enough for ext week!

    Weighed this morning and pleased to say it was lb off so decided to text consultant this week rather than waiting until next week which is what I'd originally planned.  Gives me a few weeks after my birthday to worry about losing anything I put on with whatever my birthday treat is!

    Today's plan:

    B - overnight oats - P; S; F
    L - paella with prawns, scallops and chicken - P; S; F (may add some chorizo too if I can get some when I go shopping!)
    D - bacon chop, chips, eggs, beans - P; F

    HEA - milk
    HEB - oats
    Syns - chorizo 3.5? couple of rum & ginger beer 5

    Have a good day everyone.

    Afternoon all :smile:

    Well done Denise! 😁😁

    Was supposed to be dry here so i out the washing out, nipped to Aldi as i needed yoghurt and some bits for tea , while i am there is starts raining!! But it was only a shower and it's blowing now but tbh does not look very promising :( I have just put a White load in and hopefully tomorrow will be nice to hang it out, takes ages that's why i did it today 😂

    Well Maman, the shelves are done , wooooohoooo!! 🤣🤣 so that cupboard is finally organised and given me a bit more storage for over flow bargains, i got jars of hayward pickled onions for 57p in morrisons the other day and have all my 5p jellies from Asda 😂
    I had mushroom omelette with beans for brunch and we have chicken and mushroom curry for tea, egg fried cauli rice and crispy kale 😋 might go mad and have garlic bread, not decided yet !
