    Hi all, 

    Welcome back @joedenise. Not long until you’re away again 🥳

    Have a lovely time out @Coxy11. Both DS’s are out tonight but I’m already in my jammies 🤣

    You’ll shift any gain @maman in no time, you know the plan inside out and your meals are on plan it’s only the Christmas wine and nibble syns that you’ll deal with and they will end soon.

    My last dinner of 2025 is homemade lasagne 😁 made by DS1 and ‘relatively’ healthy! I’ll have salad with it 😉

    It was the same resort as we usually go to @maman but a new hotel to us.  We chose it as it's adults only.  Certainly won't be using it again!

    Hope you're feeling well enough to go out this evening @Coxy11.  Enjoy the stroganoff before you go so you aren't tempted by the beige food!  I really don't enjoy beige food anymore, not that I ever really liked it but dislike it even more now.
