Poor you @beanielou. π€
Your food photos are always amazing @bubbs, especially the puddings. They should be in the SW magazine. The ones in there always have loads of syns and even more loads of faffing about.Β1 -

Morning all.Β Well done on the loss @Mrs_Ryan and the NSV @evilsquid1603.
Was in the office yesterday and on the way home started feeling like I had a scratchy throat.Β By the time I walked through the door I was shivering and aching all over so looks like I've finally succumbed to the same cold bug that DH's had for the last week.Β Ended up in bed at 7:30 last night but couldn't get warm or sleep really.Β Currently sitting here with about 4 layers on, but still feeling cold π³Β Have cancelled all my meetings today and just wrapping up a couple of emails to the team before I log off and spend the day on the sofa feeling sorry for myself.Β Luckily I have a portion of soup in the fridge that will do for lunch if I feel hungry later and I found a couple of portions of leftover cottage pie in the freezer that I've got out to defrost so DH can just stick them in the oven tonight π
Hope you all have a good day, or at least a better one than me πEmergency Fund - Β£8572.39 / Β£10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - Β£LISA 24/25 - Β£3200 / Β£4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
Morning all, weather doesn't look too bad but no washing today as have an appointment at the hospital for an MRI - the consultant wasn't impressed with the report from the Ultrasound by the looks of it as originally he'd said that if I could get a copy of the report from my GP I wouldn't need the MRI but after I'd emailed it to him he replied asking me to still have the MRI (over Β£400 - not very MSE but needs must. Β I need to get this shoulder sorted out as it's still very painful after all this time and the NHS it's going to be at least another 3 months just for a triage appointment with an orthopaedic clinic!).
Today's plan:
B - porridge with mixed frozen fruit - HEB; S
L - vegetarian scotch egg - P; F
D - butter chicken, rice, onion bharji - P; S; 2.5 (butter chicken is a SlimmingEats recipe and the bharji a PON recipe)
HEA - milk
HEB - porridge
Syns - butter 2.5
Forgot to weigh until after I'd eaten breakfast! Β Not too bad 0.3lb over target so suspect I'd have been just at top end had I remembered to weigh! Β I always weigh before breakfast when I go to group and just take something to eat with me after WI.
Have a good day everyone.0
