Morning all (just), another grey, damp, drizzly day. Glad I got all the washing done yesterday but after hanging it out I still ended up tumble drying it but at least it done now and all put away. I finished my dress and now have that hanging up (hoping the last of the creases will drop out so I don't have to iron it!).
Well done @Bluegreen143 on your loss, you're doing really well. Enjoy your off plan meal for Bambi's party (chicken Kiev's sound good!).
Today's plan:
B - breakfast hash - P; S; F
L - Parish Council Xmas meal (I'm having roast beef dinner followed by apple crumble and custard so definitely syns!)
D - Ryvita, Laughing Cow Lighest; pickled onions - HEA2; HEB; S
HEA1 - milk
HEA2 - Laughing Cow Lighest
HEB - 4 Ryvita
Syns - will probably only eat a couple of roast potatoes and give DH the yorkie so it will be for the pud!
Have a good day everyone.

Evening all, just popping in before I head out for my team meal! I suffer with anxiety so stressing a bit 🥺 not about the people but never been to the restaurant before. We don’t go out much so had to ask all my questions at lunch ie what was the payment plan (all in or individually), Christmas attire or casual oh & how to get there! Being picked up so less stress for that. As much as I’m looking forward to a night out, it’s a school night! I’m already tired so tomorrow will be a struggle!
Also got myself one of them new fangled heat pump tumble dryers! So complicated! Too many choices to just dry the clothes! Plus it’s on a work service and I can’t see the instructions 🤣 supposed to cheaper to run that my heated airer, we will see! At least it’s quicker!Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T

Well done on your loss @Bluegreen143. 👏👏👏
Enjoy your evening @TakeItEazy. I know what you mean about gadgets. All of my new ones are digital and complicated. ☹️ I think it's called progress.🤣
You did manage some bargains in the Company Shop @bubbs. 👍
All you need is some sun to go with your new dress @joedenise..😁
I'm finding it hard to stay on plan with all that's going on but OK today.
Today's plan -
B- HEB porridge, HEA milk, berries (S), banana (F)
L- hash of chicken, potatoes and veg from fridge (F, P, S)
D- sausage casserole (P, S), pasta (F)
Syns - BGTY sausages 2

Morning all, another dry, grey miserable day!
Enjoy your meal out @TakeItEazy - I'm sure you'll be fine. Nice to have someone pick you up and take you home, at least you haven't got the anxiety of having to drive. I hate driving particularly in the dark!
The chicken shawarma looks lovely @Bluegreen143. Do you make it yourself and if so what recipe do you use? It's always nice to have new ideas for recipes.
Well done on the Company shop stuff @bubbs. I know you say there was nothing exciting but you got some good stuff at good prices.
The meal out yesterday was OK but nothing to write home about. We probably won't go again as the bar prices were horrendous! We could have gone to Spoons and had a better meal including drinks for about £2 more than we paid just for a couple of drinks each.
As you know @maman the sun is booked for January for wearing my dress, LOL! Doesn't seem possible it's only about 3 weeks until we go! It's come round really quickly.
We're off on a coach trip next week to Brugges Christmas market and found out yesterday the pick up time is 5.40 and it's that's about a 3/4 hour journey from where we live! We couldn't get the trip booked with our local coach company as all their coaches were fully booked. We're going to be leaving our car on DD1's "in laws" drive for the day as they live almost opposite the coach pick up point so at least we won't have far to walk from the car to coach.
Think that's enough waffle. Back to SW matters! I'm going to try and be good this week (apart from Xmas market day!) in the hopes of losing a bit of weight as I've put on a lb this week but at least it was expected! So today's plan:
B - mushroom omelette - P; S
L - fish pie, veg - P; S; F; 3.5
D - Toast, eggs, beans - HEB; P; F
HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - cheese sauce 3.5
Have a good day everyone.
