    I think customer service has gone out of the window @bubbs. It's everywhere. I'm almost surprised when someone answers the phone, that's assuming you can even track down a number. ☹️ At least you got the lasagne made while you were waiting. 👍

    I don't mind flying early @joedenise but I hate arriving back really late and then having to drive home. Unfortunately, you often have to take what you can get. Well done on finding some SW friendly food. 😊

    Have a good holiday @maddiemay. It's good to be in range before you go, gives you plenty of time to get back afterwards. 

    Hope the second table was OK @Jelly@Jellybaby

    We were out for lunch today. I made good choices (prawn cocktail and sea bass with new potatoes and roast veg ) but there were some syns in the mayo and cooking. Other meals on plan and no alcohol as I was driving. 👍

    @bubbs no I did not know about weighing spoons, but one ordered for delivery tomorrow - thank you.  
    @maman your lunch sounds good, just what I would choose too.
    @joedenise have a great holiday.

  • Well done on the losses ladies.  

    Have a great trip Denise. The early morning will be worth it.  And Maddiemay too. Have fun ladies!

    Bubbs that is so frustrating. Not being able to speak to someone. I don't think I have called one company lately that doesn't start with 'We are experiencing a high level of calls so you may have to listen to hold music until you are dead!'

    Well, after a week off for Eid, my colleague and I went back to WI last night.  
    I knew I had gained a bit during the last few days of Ramadhan and Eid so have been back firmly on plan and hoping to at least STS. 

    Only went and managed a 3.5lb loss! 2 more lbs to have lost 3 stone. Was a happy bunny last night, I can tell you.

    Morning all, it's an absolutely beautiful day today especially if you can get out of the wind as that's a bit cold!

    Decided there was enough dark washing to do a load so that's been done and out on the line by 8am!  Should be dry by early afternoon so can get that folded and put away later.

    Well done @NornIronRose that's an absolutely brilliant loss at any time yet alone when you were celebrating at the end of Eid!  Not long until you get that 3 stone award I'm sure.

    Enjoy your break too @maddiemay and hope you don't put on too much weight.  I use measuring spoons and scales when we go away self catering but not when we're all inclusive although I do try to eat sensibly but it's the alcohol where the syns come in!!!

    We've got a very late flight back as well as the very early morning going over.  We get back to Gatwick just after midnight so it will probably be about 2.30-3am by the time we get home on the Saturday morning.

    Today's plan:

    B - toast and marmalade
    L - LF burger, onions, gherkin slices, soft pitta
    D - Dover sole, chips, peas

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread
    Syns - LF spread 3; marmalade 3; LF burger 0.5; soft pitta 7; chippie chips 7?

    Over syns but using stuff up.  Only fresh stuff left is a couple of eggs so I'll whisk them up and freeze them to use in scrambled eggs when we come home.

    Have a good day everyone and I'll "see" you all in a couple of weeks time.

    Have a fantastic holiday @maddiemay and @joedenise!

    Fantastic loss 🎉🎉 @NornIronRose

    Second table has arrived and looks fine. I finished cleaning the kitchen this morning so DS2 can lug it into place when he gets home from work.  Have ordered a bean to cup coffee machine as a retirement present to myself 🤣 I’ve always wanted one but the price kept putting me off but I reckon I’m worth it now 😁

    Today’s food:
    B - wasn’t hungry so just a cup of tea
    L - chicken salad sandwich HEXB, 1.5 for salad cream, apple and two plums
    D - beef curry, rice

    Have a good day everyone!
