    Well done on getting STS after a holiday @maddiemay. You must have made some good choices. 👍

    Shame about your little gain @Abbafan1972. Do you know why? 🤔 Might be a hangover from when you were so worried about your DD.

    Have a great time in Liverpool @ruby_eskimo. If you want to take the car further away, try Speke Hall or Port Sunlight. 

    Thanks for the heads up on more Farmfoods bargains @bubbs. I didn’t get there today as I went to Tesco in the opposite direction. I wish I hadn't as traffic was awful. DH even called me as he was worried I'd taken so long! 🤣

    DD1 gave me these

    Sorry but couldn't post under the beans! 😁
    Those Heinz ones are also 1 syn and sound like the ones from Farmfoods. I plan to put them on a JP. 

    Today's EE plan - 
    B- HEB toast, HEA milk, bacon, egg (P), baked beans (F) 
    L- ham, egg (P), hash (F, S), pickles (S) 
    D- gammon (P), cubed potatoes (F), carrots, cauliflower and broccoli cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms (S) 
    Syns - cornflour 1, weekend wine 

    I'm guessing I made most of the cheese sauce from HEAs. I didn’t measure but feeling thin and a couple of weeks to go to WI. 🤔

    I can only assume it's the syns from your few days away catching up @bubbs.  Perhaps a good week has seen off all but that pound. 🤔 But your gains are a mystery anyway, who knows! 🤣

    We watched the coronation. Not often DH and I sit down to watch TV together so was very enjoyable. 

    Today's EE plan - 
    B- HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks, bacon, eggs (P), tomatoes (S) 
    L- lentil soup (P, S), ham (P), tomatoes and pickles (S) 
    D- sweet and sour chicken (P, S), noodles (F) 
    Syns - Ben's sauce 1.5, weekend wine 😊

    Well done for going to group @Jellybaby. You're keeping track which, I think, is the best you can do while you enjoy your time with DS. 😊

    Morning everyone,

    I'm up early as took DDad to a boot fair only to get there and it's not on! They only cancelled it at 5am and I didn't check Twitter before we left - so annoying. We are going to my DSis today for a garden party but weather a bit grey atm. Hoping it cheers up.

    Annoying about the little gain @bubbs but agree it's probably the holiday fun catching up. Those pouches look good. No FF near me but I'll look out for them elsewhere as we do have B&M/Home Bargains.

    We did weigh and go only at group yesterday but can you believe 3 new members rocked up so other pay lady and I had to stay on to register them. DH, DDad and I watched the service yesterday with prosecco in hand then the outlaws popped in. SIL has been discharged from hospital as she gained 5lb (now 4st, 5lbs) and will be treated in the community as they clearly need the bed. Just crazy.

    I feel very bloated due to TOTM and also ate white rolls and a couple of scones yesterday. Didn't have any dinner as too uncomfortable so DH ordered pizza takeout. Today probably won't be much better but we are doing a little fundraising at the party so I'm hoping to be too busy to eat naughty treats!

    Have a good day all.
    Coxy
