Well done @Glad; target's not far away now.

Morning all, it's another bright sunny day. We're not getting the very high temperatures that the forecasts are talking about but still very pleasant at about 22/23 yesterday. Supposed to be a bit warmer today. I quite like these temperatures as it gets very humid as it gets hotter and that's horrible!

A machine load of washing done and out on the line.

Today's plan:

B - fry up with bacon (couldn't get any sausages or burgers when we went to the butchers as the queue was horrendous!) - P; S; F
L - Welsh rarebit, pickles - Calcium, Fibre, S
D - Steak, peppers, jacket potato, salad

Calcium - milk; cheese
Fibre - bread
Swips - may have a couple of G&Ts this evening

Have a good day everyone.

Hi everyone,

Pleased to report we now have a working loo in our en-suite so just the architrave to caulk and paint now. Will hopefully to that this week. I spent most of yesterday in the garden doing various jobs, culminating with a watering session in the early evening. Aching a lot today.

Thanks for concern about BIL - he's only 52 - just awful.

We have DS1 and DDIL coming for a BBQ late afternoon. We have been dog-sitting as they attended a friend's wedding yesterday. I've got some sausages from a local butcher so looking forward to trying those out.

Well done on your losses @Glad and @Suffolksue xx

Annoying about the gains @bubbs and @Jellybaby :(

Taster sessions were always a bit meh at my last (morning) group. I only use a small tin of PP @bubbs maybe my crust is thinner??

Food today:

B - toasted bagel thin, AF bacon and tomato, poached egg - Fibre, P, S

L - banana, apple - S (really not hungry after good breakfast and due to the heat)

D - bbq - will have a lot of salad, 1 burger, 1 sausage, spoonful of coleslaw, spoonful of houmous, no bread or crisps - that's the plan - SWIPs flexible.

I will be listening to the football later. We need to draw or (hopefully) win. A loss could mean relegation. So stressful. Glad you will get your tickers refunded @maman x

Afternoon all 🌞

Bloody hot again 🤣when i got up 7.40 it was already touching 30 in here 😱

Least washing dries quick! Have ironing to do but too hot for that 😱

Coxy, didn't you say you didn't put a bottom on? i couldn't get 2 out of a small tin otherwise, otherwise the meat shows 🤔 glad you have a working loo in ensuite 😁 it's the small things.

Lunch free

Tea will be free or very low syns too, want some of this gain off this week! Too hot in here too cook anyway, i used the tefal multi cooker to cook a chicken this morning.

maman

27 degrees here according to the weather App. Washing on the line and probably dried to a crisp! It seemed crazy when I was pegging out long sleeved tops and a jumper we were wearing a few days ago! 🤣You must think you're still in Egypt @joedenise .

I always think a barbecue is easily adapted to be SW friendly @Coxy11 . 🤞🏼for a win this afternoon.

I portioned up the meals from yesterday and there's 4 Bolognese and 2 curry plus a small portion that I enjoyed with my lunch. Meatballs will go into the oven later.

Fortunately, my 'new' kitchen/garden room is really well insulated so doesn't get too hot @bubbs . We're having a roast today!😁

Today's plan-
B- toast (fibre), milk (calcium), eggs (P), baked beans (S)
L- JP (F), chicken curry (P,S), salad (S)
D- roast pork dinner (P,S,F)
Swips- gravy 4, weekend wine☺️

52 is no age @Coxy11 xx

It’s sunny here with a breeze. About 14 I think. To be warmer during the week. Bring it on.

joedenise

Definitely not as warm as Egypt but nice all the same. It's about 21/22 here at the moment - felt warmer when we were sitting out in the garden this morning.

Jellybaby

It felt warm enough to sit out for an hour or two but think I’ve got a touch of wind burn 🤣🤣🤣 it was very breezy! Happy I got all the bedding dried too.

Food on plan - fruit, yoghurt and cereal for breakfast and homemade smoked haddock fish cakes for dinner with loads of roasted veg. I’ve used 3 swips for an extra 20g of cereal to finish off the box and another 3 for tartare sauce.
