    Quick question.
    What are the beetroot burgers beside? Thanks  :)
    In my local store they’re in the chilled section next to pies, quiches, dips, hummus etc just before the cold meats start. They are in a box with other veggie burgers. Only had mushroom left today.

    Evening everyone,

    Outside gig was fab but boy it was cold on that field! Longest queue was for coffee! I had a Diet Coke, a tea, a coffee, 4 chicken fillets, fries(!), and 2 doughnuts. This was in the spirit of keeping warm! Got to bed at 3am following a drive home in a storm with rain of biblical proportions. 

    Today we’ve been at the outlaws - first time for a year for me. I survived - just. Food was bbq so I had one beef burger, roasted veg, new potatoes and a little coleslaw. Pudding was a slice of Victoria sponge with some berries. I only drank tea. 

    Back on the wagon tomorrow and need to order a food shop. 

    Hope you’re all doing okay. 
    Coxy

    I had sunshine at last! Sat out after dinner for a couple of hours and it was still warm. Spoke to family in Germany and they are melting 37 today 😳

    Food looks great as always Bubbs. Between mum’s birthday lunch, ice cream after dinner and finishing wine off I’m well over syns today. But enjoyed every one of them. Just remembered I’m meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow so will have to be careful.

    L - ham, salad leaves, tomatoes, pickles, hi fi bar - P, S, 1/2 HEB

    Morning all!  Well done on the loss @bubbs but that's shocking about that visitor making those comments 😮  Hope there isn't too much damage to the motor home @joedenise and you make it home safely whenever that may be.

    Had a quiet-ish weekend; went to the cinema and then to Wisley on Saturday and then yesterday I took my parents out for lunch while DH went to London to see his dad and sister.  Only 10 weeks until our holiday and desperately want to lose 7lbs in that time; have been a bit loose with the plan recently and I'm maintaining rather than shifting anything.  Back to basics for me but need to do a food shop this evening as the fridge is looking rather bare.

    B - FF yogurt and blueberries
    L - Toasted pitta, mushrooms, scrambled eggs
    D - Sausage tray bake with sweet potato, peppers and kale

    Hope you all have a good day!
