    What a palaver with the flat tyre but brilliant that you got it sorted so quickly. Sounds like you’ve got some lovely trips to look forward to lined up.

  • Great that the breakdown company sorted your flat tyre out so quickly.  I live in dread of that happening to me while out and about  too.  I could change a tyre years ago but not sure if I could these days.

    Washing and hoovering done this morning so just having a cuppa. This afternoon we’re heading to the nice Italian restaurant whilst the half price food is still available ( every Monday to Thursday in January) and Dh has £35 worth of vouchers to spend. 😀😀
    Will see what the scales say tomorrow………I have been concentrating on not snacking between meals though and I’ve done pretty good…..even though I say so myself.

    We couldn’t spend the restaurant vouchers yesterday as the food was all half price so they were only accepting one offer at a time. Means we can have another cheap trip out though 😀👍 Dh paid and we had a lovely afternoon.
    Slimming World this morning…..I’m not hopeful for a loss. Dh has a day off work for his birthday so we’re going out somewhere for a walk.

    As I expected I put 1 lb on yesterday. I’m mad with myself for eating out 5 times last week and I didn’t make the best choices. It is what it is. 
    We went for a walk yesterday afternoon and Dh and ds had a take away from a Caribbean place they’ve wanted to try for ages - it’s way too hot and spicy for me so I had stewed steak, mash and cabbage leftovers. 
    No spends either so I’m polishing my halo. 
    I’ve just made ds a birthday cake for tomorrow…nothing fancy. Delia’s ginger and lemon cake. Not made one of those for ages. Smells delicious and has risen nicely.

  • The cake sounds delicious.
    I’m sure the pound will drop off next week.

    I’m hoping it’ll drop off by next week WW. I’m out for a meal with ds for his birthday tomorrow. I’m going to enjoy it without overeating and then really watch what I do for the rest of the week.

    1lb on is good to say you had 5 meals out. The cake sounds good to me too, I’m not a massive cake fan but I love ginger and lemon together. One of my retired work friends used to make a maple syrup and ginger cake that was to die for.
