    Great news @bubbs and nice little loss @Matron_Midge.
    Hello from Yorkshire, weather good, but nowhere near to being on plan, to much eating out and too many lovely home made cakes, none of the made elsewhere stuff often served up near home, not all bad though had some great brekkies and a lush beef casserole.x

    Good loss @Matron_Midge it all adds up.  Bubbs, the bargain finding ninja 🤣 I’m in awe of your skills. 

    Ouch @Coxy11 that’s an early one but enjoy the retirement do.

    Enjoy your holiday @maddiemay pick up SW when you’re home.

    My little bit of Scotland is on a roll as we have another bright, sunny day! Just put a load of washing out - where does it all come from?? 

    First morning with the walking group. I’m a bit apprehensive but know it will be fine once all the new person chat is out of the way. 

    Today’s food:
    B - fruit, f/f Greek yoghurt, Skinny syrup 0.5
    L - baked potato, cheese HEXA, homemade coleslaw - estimating 3 for l/f salad cream
    D - chilli salmon, homemade wedges, salad

    Have a smashing day all.

    It's a loss @Matron_Midge. 👏👏👏 They all count. 😁

    Hope the walking group went well @Jellybaby. We were lucky as it was fine this morning but... raining now! ☹️

    Enjoy yourself @Coxy11. Your old boss didn't stay long after you left. 🤔

    I agree @maddiemay. Enjoy your holiday and get back to SW when you get home. 👍

    Not seen @MrsPorridge lately. 🤔

    I went to the Company Shop today @bubbs. None of your amazing bargains. I use Aldi prices as a benchmark. I did pick up some Sainsburys chicken thighs, M&S tomatoes and some other bits that were good value.

    Today's plan - 
    B- HEB porridge, HEA milk, berries (S), banana (F) 
    L- LO hotpot (P, S, F) 
    D- sweet chilli chicken (P), SW chips (F), mushrooms and green stuff (S) 
    Syns - need to check chilli sauce

    Morning all, as @beanielou says don’t want to jinx the weather we’re getting but…..🤣 (this will be our summer 🤣🤣).  Anyhoo, no washing 🎉

    Walking group was OK, only six of us and very chatty but it was more of a stroll or wander and wasn’t quite expecting that. Will see how the next few weeks go.

    Taking mum to a nurse appt shortly, pick up a M&S order while I’m in town and look for a 8th birthday gift for my great nephew. Said to mum we’ll do food shop too to save double travelling tomorrow and she said sorry I can’t, I’m getting my eyebrows done and meeting a friend for coffee afterwards 😳🤣🤣 amazing what this 87 year old can organise and do when she wants to!

    Today’s food:
    B - bran flakes HEXB, Kvarg 0.5, strawberries 
    L - veggie omelette, pickles, plums to snack on
    D - steak, chips, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and broccoli

    Have a good day everyone.
