Lunch and tea, also got baked apple with mincemeat for pudding, apart from I moved the sweet cinnamon so I didn't put it on the chips, but obviously didn't put it where it should be as can't find it 🙈 so normal cinnamon instead

Morning everyone,

Damp here in Kent this morning and we are forecast sleet tomorrow - yay! Have been packing final bits for my trip to Scotland on Friday - need to pop out to get Compeed and some mini toiletries plus return my library book. Haven't been out of the house for a week (except the garden) so getting cabin fever. 

Still no taste or smell. DH and DS2 having prawn curry tonight, and I will have the A!di chicken saag. I'm craving spicy food.

Not surprised your sleep pattern is all over the place @bubbs. Hope your Dad is comfortable and making progress.

Food today:
B - WM toast, 2 tsp jam, pineapple, grapes - HEB, 1
L - Veg chilli, salad leaves, tomatoes - S
D - A!di chicken saag, rice - 2
HEA - milk
HEA - mini babybel
Total syns - 3

Morning all.  Managed to get some actual sleep last night so not feeling quite so zombie like today.  Had usual ff yogurt and blueberries for breakfast this morning, lunch is going to be roasted tomatoes on toast and then dinner is gammon steaks with cauliflower cheese, roasted carrots and peas.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning, just nipping on quickly as busy day of work ahead.   Breakfast was toast (HEXB) and jam (2 syns), lunch is the last of the bacon medallions, mushrooms and tomatoes and dinner is spaghetti bolognaise with parmesan (HEXA).  

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Morning all! Glad all going well with your dad Bubbs. Well done to the losers, & commiserations to those not sleeping well, I feel your pain, would really like to get a straight few hours.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself, had to make an emergency dental appointment, no pain, but something not quite right. Was lucky, phoned on Monday, appointment yesterday. In this situation, I don't care who I see and my dentist had a bub in January, so it was her locum, very efficient. 1 x-ray, prescription & £65 later, on anti-biotics with appointment for extraction next week Big infection under the tooth in the gum, but as there is no nerve, it is likely to be a re-occurring infection which will make the tooth unviable, so will need to be extracted to protect the gum.  I think I half expected to hear that, but still not what you want to hear. Luckily, it is a back tooth, so invisible

Glad the dentist could see you so quickly @Gettingtherequickly and that you won't be suffering for much longer. Better it comes out than risk further infections down the line, especially as it's at the back.

DH now has Covid for the second time - he obviously wants to try ALL the strains!

So much going on that it's surprising we have time to think about what to eat! 🤣
To be honest, I find meal planning is far more efficient than having to think about each day or each meal. It's also very mse too, prevents waste and speeds up shopping because we know what we need to buy.  

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has cauliflower cheese as a side dish @Jellybaby. I feel so greedy and extravagant when I see people having it on its own as a meal. 

Hopefully the spices will get through @Coxy11. I think there are some taste bids on the tongue but most  of what we taste is based on smell. I'm glad you're feeling well enough to go on your walk though. 

I'm out to eat again tonight. It's a country pub we go to regularly and there's usually something SW friendly on the menu although wine syns will be involved. 😉

I had scrambled eggs with HEB toast for breakfast. I called into Asda yesterday evening when I was buying petrol. They had some 10p YS veg so, as well as a few other bits, I bought a bag of stir fried veg so I'll have some of that for my lunch with a syn or two of sweet chilli sauce.

Ruby is having cauliflower cheese tonight @maman but you've both now put me in the mood for it so will add it to tomorrow night's dinner

Just had a text from eldest DS, he'll be home in six weeks time for six weeks!!  I've waited a long time for this and what great incentive to stick to plan haha (I've already told him to bring some NZ choc for his gran but NONE for me!)

maman

Sorry @Jellybaby, hope you enjoy the cauliflower cheese that I planned for you. 🤣 I took it off the menu when I started SW but since the extra HEA was introduced I've been enjoying cheese sauce again. 😋

Great news about your DS and another incentive to get a few more pounds off. 😬

Apologies for making you all want cauliflower cheese now 🤣  Change of plan for lunch today - decided to have a tuna rice bowl instead and made extra for lunch tomorrow.  Was going to buy lunch as I'm in the office tomorrow but decided to be a bit more MSE about it  👍  So will have to just make do with the free costa coffee that I'm due instead 😆
