Happy Birthday @maman enjoy the celebrations xx

2lb on isn’t bad @bubbs considering you’ve been in hotel accommodation then away from home, plus the stress of your Dad being poorly. Definitely have a look on the website for some new ideas. I find our meals a bit same-y so am always looking for something a bit different. 

Weather a balmy 9 degrees today, still a bit windy. Had a coastal walk and a black coffee with speculous biscuit (single wrapped). All within syns 👍🏻

Trying to catch up.  Had quite an eventful week which involved an unexpected trip to hospital and a barrage of tests - I’m fine and not lifted a finger since Tuesday night. Which also proves DS is a lot more capable than he’d like me think 😂

A pound off for me this morning which I’m happy with. Think we’re twins @bubbs I’m scunnered too with what I eat. I’ve got all the recipe books so no excuses really, just laziness. 

Happy birthday!  @maman I envy your Italian meal.  @Coxy11 enjoy your time with your dad.

sorry if I’ve missed anything, will need to read back.

Thanks everyone .

Well done Jelly

Jelly hope you are ok x Glad DS has looked after you

I wouldn't say laziness as always cook from scratch and have proper meals. Just inspiration for something different.

I am going to take  a piece of pork out the freezer for pulled pork in the slow cooker .

I have made some BNS, Pepper and garlic soup, looks ok so that's some lunches sorted next week and will freeze some , all portioned up in tubs

Cleaned the bathroom , HATE that job, changed the bed, got my washing dry outside it has been lovely

Well done @Jellybaby 😊
Which book did you win @bubbs?
We’ve had ‘lunch’ - liver, steamed sweet potatoes, sprouts, carrots and broccoli plus Cypriot asparagus which are very thin (like samphire) and quite bitter, but tasted okay.

Morning! I’m flying home today but first we are off to Limassol so stepmum can visit the consulate to vote in her country’s election. It’s a 45 minute drive. We will eat there at a fish restaurant chain. 

En route to Limassol we are visiting Timi market - fruit veg and bric-a-brac. Last time I was here there was a lovely vintage Pyrex dish which I couldn’t fit in my hand luggage. 🤞🏻 It’s still there 🤣

Breakfast was the usual 0% Greek yog, blueberries and a small amount of granola. Will need to get something for the plane later so hoping there’s some fruit at the airport food outlet. Oh and it’s raining again!

Morning all, very windy again this morning and there was a short shower earlier and looks like there may well be more coming!

Enjoy your last morning in Cyprus @Coxy11, enjoy your lunch and have a safe trip home.  I think you've done amazingly well with food considering you've not had control over it.

Today's plan:

B - fry up - sausages, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans - P; S; F; 2
L - caramelised onion, tomato & mozzarella filo tart, chips, braised lettuce, peas & spring onions - HEA2; S; F; 6.5
D - roast chicken, roasted carrots, parsnips, peppers & onions, mashed swede, cabbage, green beans & peas - P; S; F
(hopefully there will be plenty of LO potatoes and veg to fry up tomorrow!)

HEA1 - milk
HEA2 - mozzarella
HEB - none planned
Syns - LF sausages 2; filo 6.5

Have a good day everyone.

It’s raining here too but thinking off heading out for a short walk.  Bacon medallions, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans and a tattie scone (3 syns) for breakfast. 

Have a safe flight @Coxy11
