    Morning all,

    Good results for your DH @bubbs

    I think all the chatterboxes are on holiday 😁😎

    I’m with you on the rain @beanielou totally scunnering as was the result last night 🙈

    Made class this morning and drum roll….only a wee half gain! Totally happy with that as I was expecting at least three if I’m honest.

    Just about to have a fry up SW style then off to give the car its first wash and hoover out (this won’t last!). Dinner is good old meatballs with spaghetti and Parmesan. Need to make more tomato sauce but that shouldn’t take long.

    Afternoon all 😀

    I reckon they must be Jelly 🤣 that's good it was less than you was expecting.

    I lost 1.5 don't know how with my loo habbits this week!

    I wouldn't get the car washed if it keeps raining 🤣

    We have just had a shower but supposed to be really hot again today, well it's not cold, it's comfortable

    Isn’t everyone so much nicer and happier when the sun’s out? 😁 I decided to wash bedding just after lunch and it’s all dry and back on beds already.

    Good loss @bubbs once issues resolved you’ll be back to keeping shoes on to get weighed 🤣🤣

    Might go for a quick walk to get some steps in before I make dinner.

    Morning all,

    Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, spent over 8 hours between minor injuries and A&E with my dad. All sorted now and when I phoned mum to check in this morning, he’s still in bed sound asleep apparently which is not surprising!

    Food all day yesterday was a M&S meal deal and I half a sandwich and bag of crisps dad Didnt want.

    Today will be better. I’m going to make a sweet omelette with banana, strawberries and raspberries, yoghurt and skinny toffee syrup (0.5) for brunch and I’ve taken the salmon I keep dodging out for dinner. I’ll have Jersey Royals and roasted veg with it.

    Need to pop out and pick up a couple of items I ordered online but apart from that a quiet day 🤞
