    Oh dear @bubbs. No idea what to say about the (admittedly tiny) gain. It's so difficult to suggest anything as you're so used to eating on plan that you don't fancy anything else.

     I'm thinking of perhaps an off plan sort of week might shake things up. Are you going on holiday? Maybe some fish suppers and full fat ice cream? 🤔

    We go away a week on Wednesday. It seems unreal after so long. I can't believe it will be straightforward and keep expecting flight to be cancelled or something. We're flying easyjet from Gatwick so anything could happen.

    It is quiet but to be expected with the holiday I suppose. 

    We got the shopping done. DH is much improved and doesn't try to deviate from the shopping list. Although we're (fortunately) OK for money, he's pleased that I'm a mse shopper. 😊

    I know it's a pain, 1/2 off , 1/2 on, i am 1/2 lb lighter since 15/1 🤣

    If i have a week off plan i'd have a big gain. No not got anything booked, dh is off week after next.

    I never did a proper shop this week as went company shop and thought we'd be ok, but we popped B&Q today and DH said right do we need anything else? I said yes while we are near Aldi i will pop in, as we have no ham, no cheese spread and was low on fruit, i said to DH this is why i always do a proper shop, he said well why didn't you? I said thought we could manage 😂

    Are you watching the concert? i was so emotional at the start , not like me

    I thought Rod was ok!
