Well done on your 1.5lb loss @cherry_22. DH thought it wasn't cheesy enough and too much Marmite! I actually thought it was quite cheesy and not enough Marmite! Shows how different our tastebuds are!!!

Well done on your losses @SingleSue and @cherry_22.👏👏👏 Such a boost to see a new number on the scales and 🤞for your shiny next week @SingleSue.
It's a lovely day here too. Although yesterday's fog cleared up much quicker than with @bubbs so all the washing dried. 😁
I thought you were going to say that the portion was enough for lunch but not dinner @joedenise. Your DH seems to have had a whole extra meal! 🤣
I agree it's petty to stop sites using syn values. I'd have thought it's more likely to attract people to SW than lose them anything. 🤔
I've got 17 syns left and no plans for them so this has been a good week. Hoping for another starting tomorrow and then I'll go to WI.
Today's EE plan -
B- HEB toast, HEA1 milk for drinks, bacon, fried egg (P), tomatoes (S)
L- ham (P), bubble and squeak (F, S), beetroot (S)
D- SW Bolognese (P, F. S), HEA2 Parmesan
Syns - 01 -
He most certainly did @maman! Having looked at the cheesy veg bake it just isn't big enough to split between 2 meals so it's going to be half each today so will definitely be over syns today but plenty of time to rein it back in. I was 0.5lb over target this morning on my scales so definitely need to shift that (and a bit more hopefully) before next Wednesday when I'll go to WI. At least there will be a grace week if that pesky 0.5 doesn't move!
You've done well to still have 17 syns left - it must be the having G&Ts instead of wine the other day, LOL!
Edited to say the veg bake definitely wasn't worth the syns! A lot of the broccoli was just stalks which wouldn't cook and were really hard so wasted - just glad I didn't pay for it!0 -

Hi all,
I was in the London office today and it was full on as there's a big money announcement tomorrow. Boss was meant to be off but she's been roped into doing some media with a minister. I will have a quieter WFH day tomorrow thank the lord. TOTM has made an appearance - first since Nov!! Feeling fat
Food today has been:
B - overnight oats, FF nat yog, cherries - HEB, free
L - lo chilli con carne, pineapple, satsumas - free, S
D - smoked salmon and pea pasta - 2 syns for the cream
HEA - milk
Syns - hi fi bar plus 2 so 5 total
Well done on the loss @cherry_22 and fingers crossed to @SingleSue for your next shiny next week xx
Glad DMum got to see your DDad @bubbs - really hope he doesn't have to wait too much longer xx

Coxy~ I hated when TOTM reappeared when I thought it had departed for ever!
Bah.
That's good bubbs.
No wonder there is such bed blocking.
11 years since my dad died.

Thanks both, Mum did think he was talking nonsense as he said they injected something in his veins, turn out he wasn't 🤣 They gave him a CT scan to check the cancer had not spread and there was no blood clots, all good 👏👏
Aww Beanie it does, it's the anniversary of my BIL passing in a couple of weeks, 6 years 😱😱Sealed pot challenge number 003 £350 for 2015, 2016 £400 Actual£345, £400 for 2017 Actual £500:T:T £770 for 2018 £1295 for 2019:j:j spc number 22 £1,457Stopped Smoking 22/01/15:D:D::dance::dance:- 5 st 1 1/2lb :dance::dance:1
