    Glorious day here too @joedenise , and pleased to hear you are feeling a bit better. Hope the cough goes soon. 🤞

    When they do sort out the youtube thing @bubbs , do you know if anyone can watch or just SW members?

    You've got exactly the right idea @Glad .We all go off plan now and again but it's getting back on it PDQ that will help you lose the weight. Or 'Keep Plodding' as @beanielou tells us, and it works!

    I bought two cook books in the CS today, one Chubby Chubs and one PoN for £2 each. Cheaper than a magazine and I'll enjoy browsing through.

    Today's plan -

    B - toast (fibre), milk (calcium), eggs, bacon (P), tomatoes (S)

    L- usual Monday Cold meat with LO veg and pickles (P, F, S)

    D-chicken curry and rice (P, F, S)

    Swips - none planned

    Which PON book did you get @maman? I've got a few of them. The only one I'm not keen on is the Budget one. I'm not keen on the Chubby Cubs website but for £2 I'd have given the book a go. You'll have to let us know if there are any decent recipes in either of them.

    That's a great result @beanielou .Very well done! 👏👏👏

    It's the Home-style PoN recipes @joedenise .Like you, I don't like the Chubby Chubs website but I thought, with a book, I could flick past their nonsense and just look at the actual recipes.

    Well done @beanielou - that's a great loss.

    I haven't got that one @maman. Definitely easy to just check out the recipes in the CC book rather than all the nonsense!
