Morning all,
Not sure if I mentioned that we finally bought a lawn spike for the whirligig at the weekend so I can now dry laundry outside. Only been here 18 months! It’s the small things lol.
I am gardening here today but have a slight headache atm. Hoping the fresh air will do me good. We have bought a squirrel baffle for the bird table and have a visiting woodpecker on our peanut feeder - so cute.
….and back on track…

Afternoon all,
@joedenise I can’t access the SW app, front page is blank although I can get into podcasts and recipes! I might need to try updating or reinstalling. Just in case you’re still looking for swips on tacos etc.
@beanielou I know the team you mean and you must be very proud. DS2 is going to the game and cheering them on too 🤞🎉
I’ve had a strange morning- up at 7 had yoghurt and fruit, put a load of washing on, pottered around, sat down with a coffee and had a two hour nap! Never usually nap during the day hope I’ll sleep tonight!
About to have a tuna salad roll using 3 swips for salad cream and it’s chilli with rice for dinner.0 -
Thanks for trying @Jellybaby and yes I am still looking for the Swip values so I can write them on the boxes so I don't forget. Probably won't buy them again unless they can be used as a Fibre choice which I very much doubt!

Thanks @bubbs - not as bad as I expected.

The stand and stuff boats make a great “pastry” for SW quiche or a baked egg custard.
Weather is going to be fab over the bank holiday but my food might not be. We are eating out at friends two evenings and I won’t have any control over what or how it’s cooked. It will be whatever and I’ll just have small portions of whatever ones my way.

Never easy to eat out @Matron_Midge , just do your best.
Sorry for being AWOL, just life getting in the way.
I've stayed on plan except for a couple of squares of DH's 70% chocolate.
As I'm unexpectedly free on Saturday, SW will benefit as I plan to do some batch cooking and replenish the freezer with some HM ready meals. 👍
