    Morning - just!

    I lost 0.5lb at group so 1lb within target. Would like to lose a bit more before my all-inclusive weekend away next week. I got 3 x lunch pot SW meals from Iceland after group - one for today's lunch. We are going to a matinee at the local theatre and DH and DD want Burger King, so I'll eat before we go and just have a diet coke.

    Well done on the 1.5lb loss @MrsPorridge xx
    Safe travels @bubbs and enjoy the complimentary cream tea :)
    Glad the travelling wasn't as bad as you feared @joedenise and good to get some info on the op. I got 2 x Cross Stitch Guild designs, some charms to add to Christmas cards, and a kit to crochet a slipover for me. It's a very 70's design but I love it and it will look great with a white shirt underneath and some jeans :)

    Not sure what we will do for dinner as we are heading home to watch the rugby on catch up after the theatre. Will see what I can conjure up!

    Well done on your 1.5lb loss @MrsPorridge.  Did you like the roasted pepper version of the humus?  I think it's a much nicer flavour.

    Well done on your 0.5lb @Coxy11 and for being a bit further inside target.  Good luck with losing a bit more this week before your weekend away.

    I wish I could do some crochet but unfortunately I can't do very much at a time as it causes a lot of pain in the base of my thumb, same with knitting.  When I knit anything it has to be small as can only manage a short row at a time for the same reason.  I'm currently knitting cotton squares to use as make up removers - I've completed one in pale pink which will be part of a friend's Christmas present, planning on getting a pale blue and a white one to go with a cleanser, toner and moisturiser set.  Also got her a book that I know she wants.  Currently doing a slightly bigger one to use as a dishcloth in a cheaper grey cotton.  Should get at least 3 or 4 from the ball of grey.

    Hi all, MIA this week as work’s just been stupidly busy and I’ve had a few appointments to take the parents too as second brother ‘forgot’ he’d promised to visit and take them 😠

    Despite the stress of work and running around I stayed on plan and was a little disappointed it was only half a pound off this morning but I guess it all adds up. It does mean however I’ve either lost of STS for the last four weeks so at least no gains and no yo-yoing.

    Well done to all the losers 👏👏 and have a fab holiday @bubbs 🍹

    The rain’s been relentless here too @beanielou, we’ve got lots of flooding and accidents on the motorway so very glad I was organised and got shopping last night. Quite enjoying a ‘me’ day.

    Lasagne and salad for dinner tonight with Quarks, skinny caramel syrup and strawberries for pudding - not really a sweet fan but it all needs using up 🤣

    Well done on your losses @MrsPorridge, @Coxy11 and @Jellybaby. 👏👏👏 However big or small, they all count. 👍

    So sorry to hear some of you have adverse weather. You won't want to know that we (I think that includes @joedenise and @Coxy11) have had a glorious day. I've had short sleeves on all day. Still warm now. 😁

    Haven't had dinner yet. DH and I have been having a 'discussion' about our new kitchen extension before we meet with the architect later this week. No idea why it's so stressful. ☹️

    We're having gammon with cheese and pineapple for dinner. It's YS from Sainsburys and 1.5 syns. I think some of that's because of the cheddar so probably some can be ignored as part HEA.

    Today's EE plan - 
    B- HEB porridge, HEA milk, strawberries (S), banana (F)
    L- Spanish omelette (P, F, S), ham (P), pickles (S) 
    D- gammon (P), SW chips (F), green stuff, mushrooms, tomatoes (S) 
    Syns - gammon 1.5, half Crunchie 3, weekend wine 😁
