    Morning all, looking like it's going to be a nice day again today. Yesterday I got 5 loads of washing done and all line dried! Hadn't done any for about 10 days and one load was DS2's uniform which he needed for last night!

    You got some bargains there @bubbs :)

    Another SP day in store of me today. I am strangely now up for the challenge. Not sure I could do a whole week though - the temptation to grab a grape when opening the fridge is a bit too much!

    Food today:
    B - Cheese, mushroom and spinach omelette - HEA, P, S
    L - 2 x WM toast, sardines in tomato sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles - HEB, P, S
    D - SW Chinese bean and pepper stew - SP
    HEA - milk
    Syns - hi fi bar x 2 = 6

    Have a good day all

    Morning all, forecast is for high 20s today so more washing being done today - won't be far short of @Coxy11's 5 loads yesterday although mine is bedding from the motorhome including a light weight duvet which is already done and will be going out onto the line as soon as I've finished this post and drunk my coffee!  There are 2 duvet sets to do plus extra pillow cases.  First set in the machine now.  May even strip our bed and get that bedding done as well assuming some of the other washing dries quickly as need to get bedding on the outside lines of the whirligig thing!

    Is the Chinese bean and pepper stew one of the frozen ready meals from Iceland @Coxy11?  Have you had it before?  You'll have to let us know what it's like.  I like the sound of it so if it's nice could you post the recipe please?

    Today's plan:

    B - overnight oats - HEB; S; F
    L - scotch egg salad - P; S; F
    D - fish pie - P; S; F

    HEA - milk
    HEB - oats
    Syns - none planned but may have a couple of G&Ts 6?

    Have a good day everyone.

    Hello everyone! 😁 Got back last night and only post I've read is @bubbs is back in target! 👏👏👏
    That's brilliant news! 👍

    I'm sure I'll soon catch up with you all. 

    We had a great time, feeling relaxed and nicely tanned. 

    Some bad habits through the holiday. Biscuits with tea, crisps before dinner with drinks, endless amounts of white bread.... ☹️ I enjoyed it all but must have put on at least half a stone. ☹️

    I've been to Aldi today and done my meal plan for the week. We're out for one meal next Thursday but other than that I'm going back on plan 100% to shift it ASAP starting with dinner tonight (salmon, SW chips and loads of veg) 🤞it won't take too long.

    Welcome back @maman.  Glad you had a good time, holidays always mean bad habits creep back in!  No doubt you'll soon shift anything you've put on.  Well done on getting straight back on plan.  When are you planning on going back to group for WI?

    I'm going back to group next Wednesday - not been since before my holiday to Gambia in April!  According to my scales I've still got about 0.5lb to lose just to get back to top end of target but will have to see next week.

    It's been really warm here today but certainly not 38 indoors!  Definitely high 20s outside but only about 21 or 22 indoors so quite comfortable.  Think we're going to sit in the garden with a drink after dinner as it's so nice - it was far too hot this afternoon.

    Well done on the lb loss and back into target.  Enjoy the theatre and the all you can eat buffet tomorrow @bubbs.
