    Yes Beanie it is a pain!

    Denise only about 10 mins, but dark unlit country roads 😥 really hilly they are as well, but coming home will be a nightmare as it's school time and the village we have to go through the school is right on the main rd 🙄

    Not good then.  Take care - I hate driving in the dark and avoid it!  If it's dark and DH is around he drives!

    That's really infuriating @bubbs. Just adds pressure to your day (and time)., ☹️

    I'll be glad when Monday comes. I just can't seem to get my head out of the Christmas mindset.. Cheese and crackers tonight. The crackers from M&S are just gorgeous. Maybe just one syn each but..... 🤔

    I'm struggling too @maman but for me it's the wine!  Went over on syns yesterday as DH only had one glass but at least I didn't finish the bottle - I'll probably do that today as there are only a couple of glasses left!  I thought I'd finally sorted myself out but no - tomorrow is another day and a fresh start!  The wine will be left firmly in the cupboard until I get back to target.  Rum and Ginger Beer is much more SW friendly and I only ever have a couple (5 syns).

    Today's plan:

    B - ham, egg, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes - P; S; F
    L - Welsh rarebit (again!) - HEA2; HEB; F
    D - Fakeaway KFC; chips; beans; corn on the cob; garlic mushrooms - P; S; F

    HEA1 - milk
    HEA2 - cheese
    HEB - bread

    Syns - wine 5 or 10 depending on whether DH decides to have a glass!  

    Even if I have 2 glasses that will mean I'll pull back what I went over yesterday!

    Meant to say I got the new Slimming Eats book yesterday and there are a few recipes I may try in it - not sure when though as I've already done January's menu plan and bought all the necessary meat plus what I already had in the freezer.  Has anyone else bought it?

    See you tomorrow on the new thread!

    Have a good day everyone.
