    We decided to try the chocolate brownie…a slight complaint was it was supposed to be warm and came cold! They offered a replacement, but we’d already eaten some and it was very rich, so we stuck with it. I left a third of everything. They knocked a coffee off of the bill in compensation 😅

  • Thank you. I think they would have been better warm, but they had a lovely crunch on the outside and soft and chocolatey in the middle 🤤. Very rich so I could safely leave a third, but I’d quite like to eat it now 🤭
    I ended the day on 1299 calories, but I had to choose similar items so it’s a bit of an estimate. For instance I put down a cafe Nero brownie and a random make of salted caramel ice cream, but I think I’ll be fairly near.

  • Happy Anniversary @WinterWarrior, hope you and Mr WW have had a great day :)
  • Good morning and happy Friday ☕️☕️☕️ back to work today 😖
    I am still bobbing up and down points of a pound, so need a good result at the weekend to actually get a pound off this week! 
    It’s really windy up here today, so I’m hoping nothing gets damaged. A Tesco crate MrWW has at the side of the house for packages when we are out was resting against my car 😨 I can’t see any scratch, but I’ll have to have a proper look when it’s brighter. I’m not happy. The crate has been slung in the back garage. 
    The boy cat was in the bushes waiting for dog and I to step outside. He followed us around the garden and then wanted to pop in for a bit. I said no as we are not wanting to catnap him, no matter how determined he is, so he settled for a big breakfast on the step and is now in the garage, on the shelf in the window having a nap in the stray cat bed. We hadn’t seen him for a few days so I hope he’s been home. Why he thought it was a good idea to go visiting in a hurricane is anyone’s guess!
    I hope you all have a great Friday 🌟

    Glad you had a lovely anniversary. I would have wrapped up the leftover brownie and popped it in my bag  :)
    Enjoy your day.
