Yes @bubbs, the roads are pretty quiet but the supermarket car parks are rammed. 🤣

I think you're right about many parents still working. We've been to our local NT property this afternoon and there were loads of children there (it's decorated on a Cinderella theme for Christmas), some with parents but the majority with grandparents. 

DH got me more potatoes this morning, expensive ones from Sainsburys. 🤣

I did open some chocolate marzipan last night. DH is shocked when he sees the wrappers in the bin because he's not used to me eating sweets. 😁
Tonight we're having beige snacks (spring rolls, samosas etc) with our dinner as I'm determined to enjoy my extra syns. 


Today's plan - 
B- HEB toast, bacon, eggs (P), baked beans (F), HEA milk for drinks 
L- LO pork casserole (P, S, F) 
D- chicken stir fry with rice (P. S, F), snacks
Syns - who knows and who cares 🤣

Hi all,

Safe travels @milann and Merry Christmas to you xx

We have been to T’s and spent far too much! Having MIL and FIL for afternoon buffet on CE now and DS1 and DIL will be here in the evening. We will do Nigella’s ham during the day then have party food and snacks for the evening. We did scan and pack and got checked at the till - 17 items - only DH had forgotten to scan a slab of Pepsi Max so they had to do our entire trolley. Walk of shame. 

SW pork schezuan tonight and chicken pesto pasta tomorrow. I am giving blood tomorrow so will want something stodgy! 

Have a good evening all
Coxy

Milann, have a lovely Christmas and hope you don't get caught in traffic. 

Maman, yes i am going to enjoy everything i eat, today been good.........so far . Yes i don't really want to go into  shop, but think i need to pop for some more salad and fruit 🙄

Coxy that has happened to me before 🙈

Tea i had ham and cheese in a toasted wrap with chips and salad, look like loads of chips but wasn't

maman

Me too @Coxy11. I did a scan shop and had forgotten to scan a case of wine. I even called the the assistant over myself to approve the alcohol sale and then realised what I'd done (or rather hadn't done). 🤣

Enjoy your holiday @milann and just 2lbs short of the target you set yourself isn't bad going. 👍

DH's eyes lit up when he saw the snacks with the stir fry so well worth the syns or even the swips. 🤣

bubbs

Afternoon all😁

Hope you are all nearly there?
We have just had something to eat, I never weighed my cheese and it's not hexa,  am I worried? No 🤭

Just popping unit to take some bits, pick my raffle prize up from post place then ironing 🙄

I'm well organised for tomorrow (🤞🏼) @bubbs and, as you said, the shops are only closed for one day so hardly a problem.

I cooked the gammon yesterday (to Delia's recipe like you @Coxy11) and we'll be having some of  that tonight. I've made Dauphinoise potatoes to go with it and will decide on which veg later. I went for the low fat creme fraiche in the end as when I looked at the labelling there was hardly any difference in the fat content compared with the (far more expensive) Yeo Valley one. I have noticed that it can be made with Greek yogurt so I'll give that a try in the new year.

I stayed fairly on plan yesterday for my meals and was pleased with myself that I haven't started on the extra wine syns yet. I did have plenty of chocolates though.🤣 For someone who rarely eats any sweets during the year I'm surprised at myself.

Have a Christmas everyone.🎄

I've been giving some thought to a new thread for 2026. Any ideas? 🤔

bubbs

Afternoon all 😁

I am the most organised i have ever been 😘 veg done, pigs in blankets made in the dish covered in foil in the fridge, table extended for tomorrow, cleaning done, 2 pork pies made.

Yes i did have some chocolates last night, meals been on plan apart from the cheese yesterday. 

Today i had a picky plate, tonight DH is having pizza picky plate , i am having pork pie, bns chips, and picky bits 😋

Maman i am not very good with thread titles 🤣

Hope you all have a lovely stress free Christmas   xx

Afternoon all,

I’ve survived the wedding bash - just! Had a great sleep last night and was in our local Lidls at 7.30am 🤣 was relatively quiet and I picked up more of the 5p veg 🙈 while the meat was in the oven I prepped veg for tomorrow and the dozens of bags for the freezer.

Isn’t it amazing how being off plan for a few days makes you crave fresh fruit and veg?  I’ve had loads of fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, a huge tuna salad for lunch and there’s salmon and roasted veg for dinner. Can’t polish my halo though as I’ll have wine syns - sorry, can’t say swips without laughing - later with some crisps.

Can’t think of a title Maman but I’ll definitely be there again 😁

Have a lovely time everyone!

bubbs

Jelly, Glad the wedding went well and well done being in lidl at 7.30!

Yes i do really miss fruit and veg.

At the end of the day we are all going to go over syns this time of the year, We need to remember it's not what you eat between Christmas and New Year, it's what we eat between New Year and Christmas as long as we get back on plan as soon as we can.
I think i will probably set Monday or Tuesday as the day and have a good go before i go back to group on the 3rd as long as i am still in target i will be happy 😁

Merry Christmas everyone.  Remember syns don’t count today!!!!

Only a few more days left of my holiday.  Back next Monday evening so back on plan from Tuesday.  Think I will need to do a food diary for a while to try and shift some of this holiday weight.
