    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!

    Sounds like you’re having a great time away @bubbs but ouch to the price of fish and chips! 

    I’ve been totally off plan today! No specific reason other than I can’t stop eating 😳🙈 and I’m not choosing wisely - ice-cream anyone?! Normal service will resume tomorrow.

    Hope you’re all doing OK.

    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 😁

    Morning all,

    Well Sissinghurst was lovely as was the coffee and walnut cake ooops. Just too hot (and massively busy) for a JP. Dinner was SW burger in a bowl but did have some syn’d chocolate too. 

    I’m WFH today so food will be:
    B - poached egg on GF toast - P, HEB
    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!!
    Coxy
