    @Vegastare - the Aldi onion and rosemary sausages are a bit less herby than the Linda Mc ones and only £1.49 and both DH and I prefer them to the LM ones.

    Shame about the small gain @joedenise. ☹️ It's such a fine line when we're so close to target. Even my sunglasses made a difference last week. 🤣

    I've not heard anyone say 'hot dinner'  since I was a child @bubbs. 😁 It's much cooler here today and we've had some proper rain. Much more comfortable for painting @Coxy11

    I didn't know that Aldi did a version of LM sausages @joedenise. I must look out for them. Let us know what you think if you try them @Vegastare

    Today's EE plan - 
    B- HEB toast,  fried egg,  bacon (P),  tomatoes,  mushrooms (S) , HEA1 milk for drinks 
    L- Spanish omelette (F,  S,  P),  pickles and salad (S) 
    D- SW Bolognese (P, S),  spaghetti (F),  HEA 2 Parmesan 
    Syns - 0

    A full bottle of red wine!  Think it works out at 39 syns these days - when I first started SW it was 30 syns.  It's the main reason I don't drink wine very often these days and stick to spirits!

    We're meeting friends this weekend when we go away in the MH and I've already told them I won't be drinking wine!  They are big wine drinkers and usually between the 4 of us we'll get through 5-6 bottles!  I'm not going there this weekend I'm sticking with rum or gin!

    I'm going to stick to around 10 syns a day and see if I can shift a lb this week!

    It's amazing how the syns mount up so easily with wine @joedenise. Infuriating really. There's no way I could eat the equivalent of chocolate or biscuits. Seems wrong. ☹️

    Loving the spotty car @bubbs. We live in an unmade road so car has been covered in dust for weeks. Fortunately my car is grey. 😁

    My Nana always said a 'hot dinner'  when she meant a midweek roast type meal with gravy. But all her evening meals were hot,  even salads had potatoes. I'd not heard the term for years. 😊

    Hi all. Hope you’re all well. 

    Haven’t looked at this thread for a while, but have group tonight and if I don’t lose anything this week, I feel like giving up! 

    I lost 0.5lb last week but then maintained the 2 previous weeks. I know it can take a while, but I don’t seem to have recovered after gaining 8.5lb when came back off holiday at the end of May.
