    Hi all,

    My fat fingers just lost my last post, so the more condensed version

    Lost 2.5lbs giving me a new front number, very pleased with that, I could have done better but here's to a better June! 

    Need a quick meal idea for tonight, I'm off to play cricket this evening and need to cook and hopefully eat before I go. 


    Make £2023 in 2023 (#36) £3479.30/£2023

    Make £2024 in 2024...

    @annabanana82 Well done on the 2.5 loss xxx

    @joedenise, I think they have left Ni off that weather map again, still needed the winter jacket walking Buddy this morning, and I didnt leave early either, well past 9am 

    @ruby_eskimo, glad your dad has a hospital bed at last and hopefully they will sort everything out 

    Bit pee'd off. All that hard work I did over the weekend with the linens and the place looks like a disaster area. Mr L picked something off the side of his nose and ended up with a bleeder which wouldn't stop. Told him to get an OLD towel out to cover the pillows with, he got a new one, I said no, the old green ones - towels just chucked back in in a heap. But whats really bugging me is Evri have lost my new duvet set for my bed. It wasnt cheap and now Ive got to wait for Dunlem to raise a query, get an answer before I get a refund. Was supposed to be here Monday :(

    Not hungry yet, so I shall hold on to my oats until I am.  Ive mince in the fridge will probably do a spaghetti Bol and I shall do a salad for me . Need to run into town to get my coffee beans, a cappuccino mid morning really keeps me going and actually tastes better with skinny milk. Ive a pile of ironing here - and a full laundry basket - a lot to do but very little up and go today. Im not sleeping again, 4 am in bed, tossed and turned, up at 7 0 been like that for coming 3 weeks now and Im exhausted

    Cricket is not a nice genteel game, I'm knackered and ready for bed. Soft ball is also a lie - they hurt.

    I treated myself to an ice lolly walking home, was going to have a feast but went for a solero saving 8.5 syns

    Making them yourself then in group this week, she was showing off refresher squash from home bargains. It was the raffle, that and lolly moulds

    I dont have a clue about ice lollies, but one thing I have found, and you all probably already know, the most basic of range usually has the lowest syns

    All in the same boat I guess. Had a row with the other half tonight about who pays what. He pays rates and utilities, I pay everything else and he thinks hes hard done by. Cant remember the last time I came out of Lidl without parting with £50 or more 

    Anyways a wee search and  Tesco rocket lollies are 2 syns, as are Vimto. Aldi fruit spirals are 2.5 and Walls Twister MINIS are 2
