Lovely photo @bubbs but OMG to the cost of your chippy tea! Wonder if they increased the prices for carnival weekend??We went for lunch today at an Italian. I chose spaghetti with pecorino and pepper with a Diet Coke. Had one slice of GF toast and tsp of jam for breakfast and just now having a skinny bar. No speed but hey ho!Cross-stitch WIP: Haberdashery Shop Fiver Friday challenge 2025 founding member 😊 Read 25 books in 2025 27/25 Currently reading Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh0

Hope you’re all doing OK.0 -

At last! I never got past verifying if I was human every time I tried to post 🤣
I think I’m in for a gain this week 🙈 meals not too bad but shovelling ice-cream as if the world is ending!! Need to draw the line and behave.
Hope everyone else is doing well 😁0 -
Morning all,

L - rice and pickle pot - Free, S
D - grilled gammon, egg, baked beans (others will also have chips) - P, free
HEA - milk
Syns - skinny bar 3.5
I have a big pot of strawberries from the allotment to eat up - organic gardening means they go over quickly, so I’ll munch on those today 😊
Have a good day all and stay strong @JellyBaby!!
