New Year, New Start?? - Slimming World Support Thread

I think the shops are normal times tomorrow denise. 🤔 I find it so much easier to batch cook swede & carrot mash and red cabbage as we'd never eat a whole one in one meal. It saves work on a Sunday too as then I just have to do greens. The mash is useful for a SP topping too as I freeze savoury mince too. 😊

Day 3 of your birthday when DD2 comes for lunch?? Perhaps you should shop beforehand?? 🤣

I think you're probably right maman!  We're having BBQ pork ribs with roasted veg and salad.  I think 2 ribs will take care of a full day's syns!  I'll make sure I have plenty of roasted veg and salad.

Evening all

Dunno if i said baked beans farmfoods 19p and they are lovely, i went back today for more, they are on my brunch, nice thick sauce, can't go wrong for 19p also they have sweeteners 29p for 300, so i stocked up about a years worth 😂might even get some more as they are only little to store .
Denise glad you had a lovely birthday.😁

Today i had brunch, then about 2 i was out and hungry so had a pack of ham, then curry for tea and a mighty 4 chips 😂 These are them cheap beans

Those sauce on the beans look as though it's really thick.  I really wish we had a FarmFoods near us but our nearest is an hour's drive away!

Decided to go shopping this afternoon rather than trying to fit it in tomorrow morning before DD2 arrives.  Have bought all the meat for this month's menu plan.  Couldn't get any lamb mince so ended up buying a small leg of lamb.  DH deboned it and cut a couple of steaks off it; and there's about 500g of lean meat which I've split in 2.  One lot I need minced to make Fakeaway Doner Kebab; the other lot I'll probably make a tagine with.

I was in Farmfoods earlier bubbs. I got some tinned tomatoes and frozen raspberries. I saw a display of beans. They were blocking the aisle opposite the chiller. Are those the beans with unusual writing on them? 🤔

Yes these ans Toms are 19p too
Also for kids that like pot noodles, yuk in my opinion 3 4 £1 and not in the pot ones 5 4 £1

You can tell I didn't have my glasses on. I thought those e's with crowns were Chinese writing! 🤣 I saw the 'not in a pot' (thought it was a clever name) but thought Yuk as well. I like noodles but I like to cook plain ones and serve with loads of fresh veg., 😊

i have gone really granny ish, i have my glasses on a chain round my neck now as nearly lost them twice last week out of my pocket 🙄 lady comes running after me the 2 nd time, i was hunting in my bag in the middle of the aisle in Tesco looking for them and she goes excuse me you dropped this at the door, i was just hoping i could find you from what i remembered you had on as can't recognise people with masks on . I said Thanks so much that's what i was looking for, but i would have just thought i'd left them in the car 🙄

Morning all, really horrible weather this morning, grey, miserable and cold.

DD2 and her partner are coming for lunch.  We've had to have a change of plan as when the ribs defrosted they didn't smell very nice so wouldn't risk them.  DH went up to the butchers about 6.30 this morning and bought a shoulder of lamb - it's the leanest shoulder I've seen for a long time.  It's marinading at the moment and I will be slow cooking it later.

Today's plan:

B - kedgeree - P; S; F
L - slow cooked lamb shoulder; jacket potato; roasted veg - P; S; F
D - smoked salmon and prawn salad wrap - HEB; P; S

HEA - milk
HEB - WM wrap
Syns - none planned

Enjoy your lamb denise😋. A bit like buses, we haven't had any for an age and then twice this week! 

I didn't get to do my main shop yesterday after all. I had a few errands to run so called into Farmfoods when I was  out and that was all.  I'll post my menu after I've done my shop. Now to find something in the bare cupboards for my lunch! No leftovers available  today. 🤣
