    Morning all.ย  Well done on the loss @Mrs_Ryan definitely sounds like you deserve a rest!

    Last working day of the year for me today so I probably won't be online again before Christmas.ย  Had some weetabix for breakfast this morning, lentil soup for lunch and probably another jacket potato for dinner with salad.ย 

    Hope you all have a great Christmas, stay warm and safe!

    Morning all, it's another very chilly one but forecast to get up to double figures later so warmer than it usually is at this time of year. ย There's also a good bit of wind today so it will probably feel colder! ย I've got the towels, tea towels etc in the machine at the moment and there are quite a few of them so will probably half fill the line! ย Will probably just do those and the jumpers today and leave the dark stuff until tomorrow - there's at least 2 if not 3 loads of them!

    Bought home a load of stew veg so made a beef stew with some beef from the freezer. ย We'll have some for dinner tonight and I'm hoping there will be enough leftover for lunch tomorrow! ย Also put 2 x 2 portions into the freezer.

    There were some carrots which were a bit beyond their best so they ended up in a carrot & lentil soup which has also gone into the freezer. ย Also made leek and potato soup for lunch yesterday with a couple of the leeks.

    Ended up going over syns a bit yesterday so need to try and keep low for a few days now in order to save some for Saturday as I'm sure more than a few syns will be involved!

    Today's plan:

    B - Welsh rarebit - HEB; HEA2; P; F
    L - ham, egg, chips & mushrooms - P; S; F
    D - beef stew; mash, green veg of some sort, maybe more of the cabbage ย - P; S; F

    HEA1 - milk
    HEA2 - cheese
    HEB - bread
    Syns - probably some mulled wine (which is what took me over syns yesterday!) 5.5 for small glass

    Have a good day everyone.

    Good luck @bubbs for WI tomorrow morning, that's a really early WI! ย Chocolate was a problem for me last night too but at least I'm not weighing for a while yet! ย Enjoy the chocolate if you fancy it tomorrow after WI.

    Merry Christmas to you too @ruby_eskimo.

    Thereโ€™s some corking food bargains around- I got my OH a socking great fillet steak from the Co-op for 2 quid!ย 
    Normally Iโ€™m happy about NSVโ€™s but Iโ€™m a bit sore about this particular one as itโ€™s cost me fifty five quid- Iโ€™ve had to buy a new Pandora bracelet as mine was so big that I couldnโ€™t keep it on my arm!ย

    I've managed to get a Morrisons Magic Bag to pick up tomorrow - hopefully that will be ยฃ3.09 well spent! ย The last one I got was really good with loads of fruit and veg so hopefully this one will be as good.
