    Well done @annabanana82 and to your daughter. ย Big losses for you both this week.

    Well done @beanielou - STS is good as you were expecting a gain so you should be pleased.

    Glad you got to see the GP @maman. Hope your neck improves soon xx

    Well done @beanielou and great losses @annabanana82 and DD!ย 

    I messed up my syns today. Cottage cheese with pineapple was 0.5 not free, also had a Mullerlight with banana after dinner so another 0.5 syns there. I sprinkled a few choc chips on so 3? there too.ย

    Morning all,

    A bright start here in contrast to yesterday's almost continual rain! I had pudding last night - never have pudding on a weekday and rarely at weekends but saw a recipe in the latest mag for banoffee pie pots. Made a sort of banoffee with a sliced banana, toffee mullerlight and a few choc chip sprinkles. It was okay....wouldn't necessarily do it again as I'm a bit yoghurt-phobic after snaffling loads of them in my early SW days (when they were free...)

    A role was advertised at work yesterday - grade higher than mine and in the MH area. From the description I could do it no problem, but they want a degree. I don't have one having left school at 16 to support my single parent mum. Will keep looking!

    Today's food will be:
    B - pineapple, strawbs, blueberries, bacon, poached egg, mushrooms - S, P
    L - WM toast, baked beans, cheese, salad leaves, tomatoes - HEB, HEA, S
    D - pan-fried salmon, jacket potato, broccoli, carrots, baby corn - P, 1, S
    HEA - milk
    Syns - hi fi bar, JP - 4

    Have a good day all,
    Coxy
