    Morning folks, I love a wee impromptu take away, glad you enjoyed Bubbs.

    I had the day from hell yesterday, all work related pain, and it's made me realise more than ever I really do want to retire early! Of course the knock on effect was that I ate everything in sight last night  :'( and got up this morning feeling yuk and so angry with myself.  It's done and I will move on but just blah!

    Today's food:
    B - 45g bran flakes HEXB, f/f Greek yoghurt, strawberries, coffee throughout the day HEXA1
    L - lentil soup
    D - pasta with a chorizo, bacon and chilli sauce (think about 4 syns for my share of chorizo but it's a chuck in what you have and use up type of sauce), parmesan HEXA2

    Here's to a good day everyone!
