Lose weight in '26 with Slimming World & SWIP's.

Evening all

Weather has certainly turned here - absolutely torrential rain for most of the afternoon. I discovered the gutter on one side of the garage is leaking so another job to add to the list.

The dresses I was looking at a few weeks ago are on sale so took advantage of the savings 😁 while in town I nipped to M&S amd bought some fruit and veg. Prices surprisingly similar to the supermarkets I’ve been using. There’s a couple of grocers shops I’m going to investigate.

I’ve got a gammon joint to use this weekend @maman and I’ll be making lentil soup too. It’s getting cold enough to appreciate soup here!

Breakfast was the usual granola, fruit and yoghurt. Dinner was pork fillet, Jersey Royals, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and sweetcorn. I had a couple of tablespoons of pepper sauce so counting 4 swips.

We are having a wall of fitted wardrobes @maman probably double what we’ve had to date. We are turning the room around. Delivery is next Tuesday 😱

This is what the app says re: corned beef so you’re not far off:

Not sure if you’ve access to the app still? X

Thanks @Coxy11 .I don't have access to the app any longer so that's useful to know. It was a tin of Pampeano so just over the 4 syns and a small portion left for my lunch tomorrow. 👍

You can never have too many wardrobes! We have a wall in our room and another in the guest /dressing room. 😁

The wardrobes sound brilliant. We’ve just been emptying ours and packing things. It’s amazing how much stuff is in them 😯 ours are fitted so we’ll need new ones after the move.

We’ll be heading somewhere for an anniversary meal later today. 48 years….how did that happen? There’s a nice Turkish place not far away and they do a great afternoon deal…and its no bad SW wise….it’s a bit of a tradition that we go there and then onto the seaside place with the big tower about an hour and a half away but we’ll check the weather beforehand as we had torrential showers yesterday. It’s lovely and cool today but I don’t particularly want to go out if it’s going to be as wet as yesterday.

Happy Anniversary @milann that Turkish place sounds nice x

We've never had fitted wardrobes before. The last wardrobes we bought were in 2002 when DH's aunt was moving so we bought two solid chunky pine wardrobes from her. They moved with us twice and we Frenchic'd them at the previous house. They are now in the garage and don't fit in the house but are used for storage.

A day at home today. I've cleared the ironing pile, tidied the lounge, done a freezer inventory, vacuumed etc. Have also prepped some broad beans from the allotment which will form part of tonights' tea.

Food today:

B - banana, blueberries, Greek yoghurt (vanilla & coconut) - free, S, 0.5

L - HM RM from freezer (pork schezuen), 8 ryvita crackerbread, 1/2 pot of light cheese spread - Free, Fibre, Calcium

D - broad bean, pea and bacon risotto - Free

Calcium - milk

SWIPs - hi fi bar - 3

Evening all 😁

We had a shower today, all 5 mins of it!! Although it is cooler, 26 when i was out earlier.

Met my friend today and went CS, nothing to write home about, got some smoked basa, never had it before , but thought i might make some fishcakes. In the freezer at the mo.

We didn't have any luck anywhere today, Asda was rubbish Branston beans still £1.05 for 4 tins.

Not had anything to eat today till tea time, when i dished up DH said hungry? 🤣 i only had 4 sausages, 2 eggs beans and bns chips 😂😂😂

Happy anniversary @milann 🎉

Happy new wardrobes when they come @Coxy11

Salsa this morning then a day at home for me too. I hate housework with a passion but so much was badly needing done after all the hospital drama over the last few weeks taking up my time.

Banana and coffee before I went out, fruit salad and Kvarg when I got back and it was spaghetti bolognaise for dinner. I did sneak a piece of DS’s garlic bread so counting 6?

Coxy11

Thanks @Coxy11 garlic bread was lush! Not sure of the brand as slices had been split and frozen in 2s - must’ve been a while back when I was organised 🤣

I didn’t get up until nearly 9am!! Feel better for it though and have got three loads of washing on the line. 🤞the weather holds but it’s not looking good.

Breakfast (just now!) was the usual granola, fruit and Kvarg 0.5 and fibre. I’ve salad in the fridge if I’m peckish later and dinner is gammon steak, wedges and more salad.

Now I want garlic bread!
