Morning everyone,

Take care @beanielou and @bubbs.  

I managed a STS at group yesterday, really surprised! Was out yesterday for lunch and had lasagne but it was more meat and pasta sheets and not a lot of cheese with salad. Didn’t eat chips or garlic bread. Had some drinks which I’ll definitely need to claw back this week but had a good time with my friend so quite happy.

Off out in a bit to look at paint colours for the hall and stairs and see if I can get tomatoes too as Aldi, Morries and Ts had none yesterday.

Morning all, looking to be a nice bright day today.  Will need to pop out for a bit of shopping later, will probably go to Aldi today for a change.

@bubbs - good to hear your dad is doing OK and it's not surprising he's missing your mum - they've been together a long time.  How's your mum now?  Hopefully she'll be clear of Covid soon and will be able to go back into the hospital to see your dad.

Well done @Jellybaby on your STS.  As long as you enjoyed your syns as there's nothing worse than having them and not enjoying them!  You and me both will be reining it back during the week!  I'm still way over syns but kept it low yesterday and will again today.  I decided to have a drink last night but was very good and just had a couple of 0% alcohol G&Ts for 0.5 syns!  It's really handy having in the cupboard for when I fancy a drink but don't have the syns available and it tastes better than just a plain tonic water!

Today's plan:

B - fry up - P; S; F; 1.5
L - burger, onions, salad, gherkin slices - HEB; S; 0.5
D - chicken traybake, green veg - P; S; F

HEA - milk
HEB - soft pitta
Syns - sausages 1.5; burger 0.5

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all 😁

Apparently there was a right racket going on last night , dh said didn't you hear it? I said no I was dead to the world 🤣 feel better this morning though 😁
Another busy day though, nipped home for a couple of hours, then need to drop him off and me and my sister's are going 4d scan with my niece and a meal after.

Mum still has a really strong positive line 😰 week today.  Yes she obviously misses dad too and seeing no one ,😥

Well done jelly 👏

I had Chinese last night 12.5 syns

I've had soft pitta with LM red onion sausages, mushroom and egg in, tomato on the side. 
I will try and choose wisely later 🤣

Afternoon all.  Hope everyone is well.

@beanielou hope you are ok and @bubbs hope your parents are ok.

@Hundredsandthousands my 5 mile walk was about 1hr 50mins long and it nearly killed me lol!

This morning I had 2 x wholemeal toast (HEB) and 2 x poached eggs and they were lovely. 

Lunch is a jacket potato with cheese (HEA) and baked beans.

No sure about my tea yet. 

Me and hubby did a couple of the activity videos on the SW website and it was hilarious!

Speak to you all later. xx

Change of plan for dinner tonight!  DH decided about an hour ago that he didn't fancy the chicken traybake and would rather have butter chicken!  So chicken now marinating and grated butternut squash and passata out of the freezer defrosting!  This of course will mean a couple of extra syns for the butter but it's so worth it!  I use the SlimmingEats recipe.

Well done on your STS @Jellybaby. That, and your nice lunch with your friend is just what you needed to put last week behind you. 👍

Glad to hear you had a good night's sleep @bubbs and hope you have a great time with you niece. Enjoy your meal out, seems ages since you went out anywhere but the hospital. Such a shame your mum missed a good visit yesterday. 🤞she gets a negative test soon.

As expected, I had a salad buffet last night. I'm allowing 10 syns for dressings and a tiny piece of salmon quiche. That pastry was very thin, unlike a homity pie someone brought but I left the pastry on that.

I called into Morrison's as I was that side of the city but no fishcakes. ☹️

That alcohol free gin does taste like the real thing @joedenise. I have wine in the fridge for tonight left from Friday so quite a low alcohol weekend for me. 😁

Today's EE plan - 
B- HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks, fried egg (P), baked beans (F) 
L- ham salad (P, F, S), lentil soup (P. S) 
D - JO pork roast (P, F, S) 
Syns - LTL mayo 0.5, HM gravy 4, LO Wine! 🤣

Hi all,

We've been to DS1's painting the bathroom today. Lots of stretching and balancing one foot on the rim of the bath and the other on the ladder - hoping it will strengthen my core!! Needs another couple of coats we think as covering a very vivid blue (thanks previous owners) with white!

Lunch was a veg sushi pack from Ts - I got the meal deal but DH will have my crisps. I am just enjoying the Pepsi Max from it.

Dinner will be chicken peanut butter pasta from the Fast Feasts book.

I had puffed wheat for breakfast - 40g for a HEB - filled the bowl!!

Hope your DMum gets a negative result soon @bubbs and hope the scan appointment was fun. 

Well done on STS @Jellybaby we are weight in twins this week

maman

Oh dear, I think I missed your STS yesterday @Coxy11. 👍

I must buy some Puffed Wheat. I really like it and I think it's the best 40g portion of all the HEB cereals. I get through cereals very slowly as I only have that when I go to WI. 🤣
