Morning all, it's lovely and bright but very cold wind today so perfect for getting the washing dry. I done the washing fairly early and had it out on the line before 8.30 so hopefully should be dry by early afternoon before it starts getting damp.
Good luck with the new job @Coxy11 and that you enjoy it. Nice that you'll have time for a decent breakfast before you go.
Glad you got all your deliveries done yesterday @bubbs. This must be the busiest time of the year for you.
Wow is all I can see @Jellybaby for all that lovely fish. M&S fish is really good but I only ever buy it when it's reduced as it's so expensive! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Wish I had a friend like yours!
Today's plan:
B - Weetabix, milk - HEA2; HEB
L - baked fish, pickles, chips, peas - P; S; F
D - Beef stew, mash - P; S; F
HEA1 and 2 - milk
HEB - Weetabix
Syns - none planned as want to try to keep fairly low syn this week after my 2lb gain last week!
Have a good day everyone.0 -
Afternoon all 😁
Yes deliveries all done till this week 🤣it's a never ending circle, but pays the bills. Been up the unit this morning for about 3 hrs and it was FREEZING!! So we decided to bring some crates back and do here, they are loaded back in the car ready to take back tomorrow.
Trouble is it;s constant, taking photos, listing , rinse and repeat a million times. It's amazing you put something on for sale you think you will sell........no! So few days later remove and re list and sell them all 🤣 I know what alot of my customers like as a rule, it's just when you get new ones.
As i was so cold, (couldn't move my fingers at one point) i had soup for lunch and watermelon.
Maman glad you like my pics 😁
Jelly you can keep the snow if you get it 😜
Coxy hope you got on ok and your new job xSealed pot challenge number 003 £350 for 2015, 2016 £400 Actual£345, £400 for 2017 Actual £500:T:T £770 for 2018 £1295 for 2019:j:j spc number 22 £1,457Stopped Smoking 22/01/15:D:D::dance::dance:- 5 st 1 1/2lb :dance::dance:0 -
It's been a glorious day here, really sunny and bright. All washing dried and put away @joedenise.👍🏼
Sorry to hear you were so cold at the unit @bubbs and you can certainly keep your snow @Jellybaby. It seems we certainly came to Scotland at the right time.😁
The M&S fish sounds delicious. I do hope your friend gets more.😉
Hope the job went well today @Coxy11 and good on you for taking a lunch with you.
I suppose there's always a downside to your DH getting out on his bike @maddiemay but well done for refusing the cake.
I can't taste much at the moment with my cold. It's annoying the way it comes and goes, hopefully I'll be 100% soon.
Today's plan-
B- HEB toast, bacon, eggs (P), mushrooms and tomatoes (S), HEA milk for drinks
L- chicken and stir fry veg (P,S)
D- salmon (P), SW chips (F), green beans, broccoli, tomatoes (S)
Syns- 0.5 for infused salmon😉0 -

Loving the food photos.
We ended up going to a Christmas market over the Pennines from us at weekend. We passed a factory shop I’ve wanted to go to for years but they have varied opening hours and are usually closed when we pass. They make cakes for M&S and other places. Anyway they were actually open. WHY did I go in 🥴😂 I came out with a big bag of goodies for just over £8. I did share them with my ds…..but I really didn’t need mis shapes of flapjack, rocky road or egg custards…..nor chocolate covered mini rolls that didn’t have any creamy filling and I definitely didn’t need chocolate and hazelnut pudding. I couldn’t believe the prices. Anyway I’m rationing them and as I said I halved the haul with ds.Other than my cakey bargains my meals have been on plan…..I’ve managed some walking each day and been blitzing my kitchen cupboards so up and down steps and plenty of getting up and down from the floor (which seems to be a workout in itself 🥴) done on the losses everyone 👏👏January spends - £587.580 -

Oh @bubbs I hate to be cold at work. When I worked in the civil service it was Baltic in the office. Hate to tell you that new boss has little heaters under the desk so we are very toasty!! Job was good and I’m going back in on Wednesday 😊
Sorry you’ve lost your taste @maman - that’s so rubbish ☹️☹️
Ooh those goodies sound fab @milann good that you can share them with DS!
