"Fall into Autumn with SW"

joedenise

Morning all, up really early this morning - 5am!  Slept really badly as knew I couldn't oversleep today as DH has a hospital appointment and it's going to be a nightmare to get to the hospital as the roundabout we would normally go across to get to Maidstone Hospital is closed for the next 2 months so a long diversion in place I think!  Glad DH is driving and not me, although I'm going to have to do it for his appointment later in the month which I'm not looking forward to.

Will be getting my car back on Monday following the repairs - got a phone call yesterday afternoon to say it's ready but the girl was really apologetic because they were too busy to return it today but said not a problem as today isn't convenient for us anyway - think she was quite relieved!  

What's on at Ally Pally @Coxy11? Is this a work thing or have you got a day off to go to a show or something?

Today's plan:

B - overnight oats - HEB; S; F
L - eating out after hospital so no idea but will try to choose sensibly!
D - sticky thyme and mustard bacon chops, new potatoes, green veg - P; S; F; 2.5

HEA - milk
HEB - oats
Syns - Tbs maple syrup 2; tsp mustard 0.5 + whatever is needed for lunch!

Have a good day everyone.

Well done on your STS @bubbs.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼  5lbs can cover a load of treats so you can indulge yourself.😋 Hope you have a great time in Devon. You're super organised. Have you packed the air fryer? or the ice cream maker? 🤔🤣

Hopefully you've turned a corner with your cold @Coxy11, at least you got a good night's sleep. I know you said you were taking lunch to be mse but it meant you could have something SW friendly too so win/win! 👍🏼

Hope DH's appointment went well @joedenise and didn't take too long. At least you'll have your car back for the next appointment when he needs chauffeuring. 

I've done my meal plan for the week and food shop. I've relaxed the syns a bit this week as I know eating out yesterday and next Thursday will push me over the limit. After that, I'm going to get back on plan properly as I want to be sure I can relax over Christmas so need to stay in range. It's surprising how quickly it'll come around with only weighing every 8 weeks. 

Not seen @Jellybaby for a few days. Hope she's OK?🤔

Today's EE plan -
B- HEB (half) toast, bacon, eggs (P), baked beans (F), HEA milk for drinks
L- HEB (half) toast, mackerel in mustard sauce (P), tomatoes and pickles (S)
D- salmon and broccoli linguine (P,S,F)
Syns- weekend wine😁

Thanks Maman and Maddie

Air fryer Maman not ice cream maker as too heavy i packed the case and DH cleaned the car as it was a poo hole 😂 (can't write the other word)

We are going to go shopping on the way to get some bits for the week, but like DH said we don't know when we will be eating out 😏 so i'll get some fruit, yoghurt and salad, bacon sausage , eggs  to take with us, as we often have a cooked breakfast to set us up for the day
 i have baked beans, tin tomatoes, condiments in the shopping bag already , oh and fry light

bubbs

Tea fake kfc 😋😋😋😋

maman

I thought you'd be taking the air fryer @bubbs. 😁

I'm sure you'll enjoy eating out though as you don't often do that. Fish and chips will definitely feature. 

We'll miss all the photos of the delicious food though. As we eat later than you, they always make me feel hungry. 

Where in Devon are you staying? 🤔

Well done on the STS @bubbs and safe journey tomorrow x

Hope the drive to Maidstone wasn’t too tortuous @joedenise - it was the Knit and Stitch show at Ally Pally. I walked up the hill from the station 😳 Bought a few projects to do - not sure when I’ll find the time lol. 13k steps today! 

bubbs

Maman, Combe Martin , i still might post my pics 😜

Yes will def have F&C 😋

Thanks Coxy, least the intention is there Coxy 😂😂

Evening all, the journey wasn't as bad as we expected!  The roundabout isn't actually closed although that's what it seemed like from the local paper article we read!  It's just down to one lane.  Think a lot of people thought it was closed completely as it was much quieter than usual for that time of the morning.

DH's appointment went well.  He's waiting for an operation and the consultant is going to try and fit it in within the next couple of weeks and certainly by the end of the month, although he said it might slip into the first week of November as he is going to a conference for 3 days so means a bit of time lost then.

We went to DH's golf club for lunch and I was really good and just had a ham salad, no dressing or coleslaw.  Did have a glass of wine but just the one so well within syns.

Well done on your STS @bubbs.  5lb leeway is great for a holiday.  Enjoy Devon.  Do doubt there will be a cream tea in there somewhere.

I wondered if you were going to the Knit and Stitch Show @Coxy11.  What kits have you treated yourself to?

Have a good weekend everyone.
