    @bubb love the look of your fakeaway, I hope your dad is doing O.K. and that your mum not run off her feet.
    One of those days today, completely deaf in left ear after the head cold, but managed to get an appointment at surgery for micro cleaning before we go away for 3 weeks, then dog threw up on carpet, came to empty carpet machine down outside drain which I then saw was blocked, OH sorted it, but it took time which was limited anyway.

    STS at WI yesterday evening, happy at that after feeling so cold, tired and in need of comfort food.ย  Away with family Fri - Tues, which could throw a few spanners in the works as we only use microwave, omelette maker and small air fryer I just hope it is warm and salads will tempting.

    Morning all,

    Well done on your STS @maddiemay x

    Thanks for your good wishes about SIL. She's now on an acute ward after 2 nights in a recliner chair. Dietician seeing her today but tbh she needs psych help. I'm no medic but it's so obvious. Hoping to visit today or tomorrow if I'm allowed.

    I had the Buddha bowl with Cajun chicken last night, a GnT, and a portion of baked cheesecake. The restaurant showed calorie values and the pudding was the least (other options were brownie with ice cream or sticky toffee pudding and custard). I was bang on target weight yesterday morning only 0.5 lb over this morning. Hoping to be super good today and tomorrow to WI on Saturday.

    DH has gone camping this morning until Monday so just me and DS2 for a couple of days and then my DDad arrives for the Summer. He's flying over today but is with DSis for a couple of days. Can't wait to see him - he's not been here since 2019 so he's very excited too.

    Food today:
    B - Blueberry fruit wheats, blueberries, vanilla mullerlight - HEB, S, 0.5
    L - JP, tuna, LTL mayo, balsamic vinegar, pickles, tomatoes - 1, P, 0.5, S
    D - SC chilli con carne and rice - free/S
    HEA - milk
    Syns - skinny bar 3 plus 2 so 5 total.

    Have a good day everyone.
