Excellent loss @maman 👏
Thank you for the lacto-free info @bubbs - mine is Arla semi skimmed. I’m trying it in tea/coffee as have sinusitis and it gets worse when I drink those drinks! Don’t want to switch to herbal tea entirely.Still raining here. Don’t blame you just nipping to the SM @joedenise. I braved S’bourne high street but had a hood. Wasn’t out too long and bumped into Mum so dropped her home instead of her getting the bus 👍Cross-stitch WIP: Haberdashery Shop Fiver Friday challenge 2026 founding member 😊 Read 26 books in 2026 8/26 Currently reading Raven Black by Ann Cleeves0 -
Sorry I missed your loss @maman! That's a brilliant loss, well done - bet you're pleased.
Fancy bumping into your mum in the High Street @Coxy11, in all the years my DD1 has lived in Sittingbourne I've never bumped into her in the High Street but that's mainly because I shop in the mornings and she tends to shop in the evening!0 -
Tea 😋😋
Think I forgot to tell you I got the naan

Ooh @bubbs the holy grail - how was it??
My Mum goes to the High Street most days @joedenise even all through lock down when she should have stayed in aged 80+. For someone who lives alone, she always seems to need ‘shopping’ 🙄Cross-stitch WIP: Haberdashery Shop Fiver Friday challenge 2026 founding member 😊 Read 26 books in 2026 8/26 Currently reading Raven Black by Ann Cleeves0 -

Morning all,
Those pancakes look interesting. I will see if I can get some when I’m next in town. I’m working today - not sure how long for, all depends on what’s in my inbox. I refuse to have my work email on my personal phone - boundaries!
DSis has asked if I want to do lunch at the village cafe. All depends on work. If it doesn’t pan out, I have a brown rice pot already made up. This can be eaten tomorrow otherwise.B - toasted protein bagel thin, poached egg, tomatoes, banana - HEB, P, S, free
L - tbc
D - chicken pesto pasta, apple - 5, S
HEA - milk
Syns - at least 5 - will see what happens later…Cross-stitch WIP: Haberdashery Shop Fiver Friday challenge 2026 founding member 😊 Read 26 books in 2026 8/26 Currently reading Raven Black by Ann Cleeves0 -
Morning all, the weather is certainly an improvement on yesterday! The sun is shining but it is pretty cold.
Thanks for the info @bubbs, will look out for them next week when I go shopping again. Got 2 Icelands and a Food Warehouse I can try.
Don't blame you not having your work email on your phone @Coxy11 - I wouldn't either. Work stays at work!
I weighed this morning and as I thought no loss, in fact a very small gain of 0.2lb! Suppose if I was going to group that may well have been a Maintain or even a gain of half lb!
Today's plan:
B - stuffed mushrooms - HE2, S; F
L - lentil soup - P; S; F
D - cheesey leek risotto - HE3; S; F; 6
HE1 - milk
HE2 - cheese
HE3 - Primula or Seriously Strong Light spreadable (depending if I go to shop!)
Syns - extra cheese 6
All HEs calcium today! A very cheesey day, doesn't happen often fortunately.
Have a good day everyone.
