    Thanks - DH has been fiddling with trying to get the battery sorted for over a week! I just wish he'd called breakdown and got it to the garage last week rather than leaving it until the last minute - but he's always like that!

    Just like your DH mine is likely to say he wants to take a particular pair of trousers or whatever shortly before we're about to pack and they need washing. Really annoying but think you kind of get used to it!

    Afternoon all,

    Condolences @TakeItEazy thoughts are with you and your family. Look after yourself 🥰

    Life is really getting in the way of posting at the moment. I’ve been doing all the dirty jobs for my dad - think bags of compost and dump runs - in the old car before I pick up the new one on Wednesday. I’ve made it clear it will be deliveries and uplifts going forward 🤞

    Food was on plan over the weekend but probably over on weekend wine swips 😁

    Breakfast was the usual fruit and yoghurt, lentil soup for lunch and dinner is shredded tandoori chicken with salad. Instead of flatbread I’m using a ciabatta roll at 6.5 swips as it needs using and oil for chicken is healthy fat choice.

    Weighed in this morning with an astounding 1.2 kg loss (what I gained last week and a wee bit more) very pleased and my June plans are going well in terms of steps and food.

    Well done to @beanielou on the loss despite a fall and @joedenise men arrrggh 🙄 I have one like that too

    @TakeItEazy thinking of you and sending you strength to get through this dreadful time.

    It’s freezing cold, windy and lashing down here today. Dreadful weather for June.

    Tonight we are having mushrooms, eggs and bacon medallions and some HEb toast. Love a teatime brekky.
