"Fall into Autumn with SW"

MrsPorridge

Thanks for the encouragement @Longwalker.  Hope you are feeling better @maman @bubbs so sorry that the funeral is so  close to Christmas, but then its never going to be a good time.  Sending hugs.

Today we met friends at the local garden centre for breakfast.  I had a toasted teacake.  No lunch, but going to have an early tea of BGTY sausage (1syn), tomatoes, baked beans, onions. broccoli and mash.  WI tomorrow I'm hoping to a S/S.

@bubbs I need to go shopping with you - you can certainly sniff out a bargain!

maman

@bubbs is the living proof that SW doesn't have to be expensive! 😇👏👏👏

Glad you had a good day @bubbs. Good luck for tomorrow.

Had a SW breakfast (scrambled eggs and tomatoes) and then out for Christmas lunch with friends. I had smoked salmon and then lamb. The lamb was delicious ( a steak you could have cut with a spoon) served on greens and then mash piped around it. Then I had a cheeseboard and just one glass of wine! Still loads of syns probably but I enjoyed it. 😋

Same again tomorrow but back on plan on Saturday. 😁

@coxy11 - how was Wonka? Im so looking forward to seeing it, maybe on Tuesday I have the day off. I prefer a matinee, less kids  The medical was just for a report for my solicitor, 2 hour+ journey for a 15 min chat.  Its for the fall I took in work last year, the one that stopped me working for 8 months and helped me pile the beef on. Still Im so much better now, its strange feeling knowing that a year on, the insurance companies are still working away in the background coming to a settlement. It wont be a lot as it was a neck injury and thats classed as whiplash so its capped. I would never have claimed at all but was treated so badly, I was in severe pain so long I really thought Id never be back working. At one point I thought I was never going to be able to sleep lying down again.

@joedenise I dont as a rule buy coffee out at all. I work in a restaurant/coffee shop so get freebies IF I want, which is rare, I have one at home every couple of days, not every day, I love a good coffee, but I notice I can get palpitations and get left short of breath if I over indulge. Plus believe it or not, even though Im partial to a cappuccino and the odd flat white, I dont really like milk, hence the amount of yoghurt I get through - for the calcium and only just started that habit due to SW 

@Mrsporridge - very restrained indeed Hope the scales go your way today xxx

@bubbs , excellent price on the chickens indeed. We have the outlet at the processing plant which is open to the public, I feel the freezers from it every few months - turkey and chicken in all its forms. Love it when theres flatties available , I buy loads in all the different flavours as they make a great quick dinner. Usually get an offer like 6 packs for £10, done know the Marks retail price but they are such a bargain 

The cheap veg has kicked in here at lidl yesterday - 19p and extra ones offered on the plus card  - onions I think it was. Whatever I shall pop in to both stores Saturday and start the hoarding lol. The only thing Im not happy about is the spuds are just the whites, I wish it was the Marie Piper or rooster. But beggars cant be choosers I suppose  

@Maman, your lunch sounded delicious. Got to love a bit of lamb  

Horrible day and night here. Started off on the wrong foot when it took me until 9am to realise I had to work lol, left me running about , half cleaned the bathroom, "ironed" a work clothes by just aiming the steam from the iron at them rather then dragging out ironing board, and not getting my yoghurt and berries out until I was walking out the door. So when I was hungry at 1pm, still flipping frozen and hurt my teeth. Time they were warm enough, notion of food was off me, and never returned I had a scone for my dinner    Ive had a rough night and been awake since 4am and know Im now in for a rough day ahead. I dont feel so bloated now but still not going to the loo, Im pumping the fluids in as best I can. Flip me this ageing malarky isnt much fun is it? Ive now become one of those old girls who's obsessed by her body functions lol Seriously though its not much fun when things go pear shaped, leaves me all out of sorts 

I will take my usual to work and Ive decided to just have a light dinner of scramble eggs or maybe some kippers if theres any. Ive weigh in tomorrow and want to be as low as I can be as the next weigh in is the Saturday before Christmas Day and I know Im going to crack when I get the last of the shopping in, theres so much cheese about, lots of cheese and I love cheese. And mince pies. Those are my two danger points at Christmas - and wine. You can keep your chocolates and sweets, Ive still got the baileys reindeers from last Christmas on top of the wardrobe, but a good stilton? Id just snaffle that  

Have a good one everybody xx
