  • Echoing @jwil, I'm pretty sure MrWW is heading towards wearing that spice mix!  :D

    I’m laughing at MrWW having a turn in the kitchen…a funny turn would be the closest 😅
    i am saving for when my car needs replacing, but I’m so far away from what I want it seems unattainable, like saving for a space rocket. 
    The steps didn’t happen today as it was so busy at work, but in better news my nails are still holding and I have a 10 day streak on Duolingo.

    Bonjour and happy Tuesday ⭐️🌷
    The misery continues at work as I had to replace my laptop as the old one was end of life. Now the settings are all wrong and my monitor won’t work. Deep joy! Presenting on a teeny screen is not fun. 
    Yesterday I was practically static all day, so must up the steps today somehow! 
    I have a prepped salad waiting for me for lunch and am planning a healthy tea (to fire fight the takeaway we had last night 🤭). 
    Other than that, not much to report from WW land this morning.
    i hope you all have a good day ☀️

    Well this week has been terribly busy, much worse than normal. I have had to order a replacement monitor so am still on the teeny tiny screen too 😖 it was a very long day! 
    I was doing very well on the calories today until I found a walls feast in the freezer and ate that…it wasn’t as good as I remember them, so to make up for that I had a shortbread finger to take the taste away 😬 So after that double snacsident I ended up about 200 cals over, but still in deficit so hopefully I won’t pile on half a stone overnight 😅
    i am unsupervised tonight, but am covered in cats, so pinned down. I’m hoping to sleep at a sensible time as it was after midnight last night….i fell down a social media rabbit hole and then needed to read. I’m terrible when MrWW isn’t here to keep me accountable 🤣
    I hope you have all had a good day ⭐️

    Same again last night @KajiKita. I’m sure I’d be nocturnal if left to my own devices!
    It’s rainy and cold here this morning. UK spring is definitely variable 😁
    Work today and very busy, so I’m not sure if I will have time to put anything in the soup maker. I had the last prepped salad yesterday. I made them up on the Saturday and it was still really fresh. I think I could get away with doing 5 full days for work. The glass containers with the piece of kitchen roll under the lid is like miracle storage! 
    I hope you all have a good day ☀️

    I used to make a full weeks worth of salads and little pots of jelly and fruit / custard / custard and fruit for lunch boxes, no one ever died ! 

    since my hubby died I’m almost nocturnal ! I’m def an owl left to my own devices, I normally go to bed about midnight and sleep about 1am

    Thanks dawny, I will make a bigger batch next time. I think if it wasn’t for working hours, or someone looking at us funny, we’d all be living our happy little lives on completely different time zones 😁
    Much like Evri up here, who like to surprise me with deliveries when I’m already tucked up in bed with my iPad and kindle (and snack) 🤭. At least I have a heads up email tonight that they may rock up between 6 and 8….dog will not be pleased!
