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

maman

I'm hoping for an announcement when RL  groups can restart and then I'll try to have strict weeks leading up to that. As I'm unlikely to be going away it wouldn't really matter if I had to use the grace week (or more) to get back to target.
You might be lucky  denise and be able to keep texting your weight in for a few more weeks as I think self catering is starting from April 12th. When do you go away first?

Hope your consultant sorts it out soon bubbs but her track record is poor. Keep checking the app as she might just sort it out but not let you know because she's ashamed of how she's behaved.

Hope so Denise!

Lamb dinner, lamb was really lean 😋

Think we must have cross posted maman!  I posted that we are going away from 12 April as long as Boris confirms it tomorrow evening!  Really looking forward to getting away.  We're going to the New Forest for about a week; home for a few days and then off again for the next 2 weekends.  Got a few others provisionally booked right up until mid July and then we're booked for France September but only if their figures drop as at the moment they are extremely high without the advantage of vaccines so it's definitely a "play by ear"  situation.

Dinner looks good bubbs.  Just waiting for ours to finish cooking.  Should be ready in about 10 minutes.

I must have missed that denise. It's going to be a difficult juggling act for you but I'd be surprised if groups open before May so we'll find out tomorrow. I've just realised that if you can travel to the forest next week then so can I!! I'm desperate to go to the seaside but haven't felt it's quite 'local' enough to risk it. Hampshire schools only broke up last Thursday so it will be busy if the weather is good. 🤔

Maman i know she has treated me terribly really

Denise that will soon be here.

Maman you have been allowed to travel since last Monday!

maman - no reason why you couldn't do a day trip to the New Forest now.  It's not that far from where you live, is it?  It's still in the same county, I think.  You've been allowed to travel since 29 March.  Personally I don't think I'd bother until at least after Easter as think it will be very busy, although it's forecast to be quite cold so might not be too bad.

The car park at the bottom of our road, by the beach, was absolutely rammed when we went out to see DD1 this afternoon (DH had baked her a sourdough loaf!).  They were even parked up the hill leading to the car park as well as along the road adjacent to it.  No way we'd go to the beach when it's warm like it was this afternoon.  We spent a couple of hours in DD's garden and then came home and spent another couple of hours in our garden before coming back indoors.  It's been lovely this afternoon.  We're going to visit our friend tomorrow which will be lovely as not seen her since last summer, it was in the garden only then too!

I must check the regulations denise. I thought we are supposed to stay local in our part of the city rather than  surrounding area which would take in the coast and forest. Ironically, I would happily go to our only Morrison's which is on the edge of the forest but I feel we'd be sitting ducks in a 'tourist' car park. I'm probably being far too responsible. 🤣

I think as long as you don't go anywhere that you can't get home the same day then you'll be OK.  I could easily travel for over an hour and still be in the same county but I wouldn't call that local.  DD1 is local but it takes us about half hour to get there but that's only because it takes us 20 minutes just to get off the island!

I know what you mean about being sitting ducks in a "tourist" car park which is why we don't go completely local when we go out for a walk in warm weather.  It's fine when it's not so nice though!

I think we've been very responsible too having not driven more than a mile to the next village prior to 29 March - we didn't even visit DD1 and she lives fairly close to the next town where we shop in Lidl!  She's probably only about 5 or 6 minute drive from there.

Morning all, what a change in the weather today from yesterday.  Very cold and windy.  Going to visit a friend today who we haven't seen since last summer - going to be very cold but will take blankets and coats so should be OK.  Will only stay a couple of hours - think that will be plenty in the cold!

Today's plan:

B - eggs on toast - HEB; P
L - jacket potato and beans - F
D - veggie biryani - S; F

HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - no doubt will have a small piece of cake at friend's as I know she's baked a cake this morning!
