    We got the alert at the same time - what a racket! We definitely took notice, which I suppose it what should happen.

    The new support is better but still not completely comfortable - just more comfortable than the old one!

    Well done on your loss @Coxy11 and pleased you got the JP. 👍

    We were on the bus into town at 7pm and everyone's phone went off at the same time. What a racket! 🤣

    Morning all,

    Feels cooler today - not complaining! I’m due at Mums for 11am as she needs a hedge cutting and will do it herself aged 84 if I don’t get there first (not even joking). Would have gone sooner but DS1 and DDIL are dropping off grand furbaby pup so I’d like to see them.

    Have signed up to a running club 0-2-5k starting in September. It’s an 8 week course. I used to be able to run 5k fairly regularly but not any more. Thought it would be good to meet folk too plus it’s free!!

    Food today:

    B - Poached egg, toasted bagel thin, blueberries, vanilla yoghurt - P, fibre, S, 0.5

    L - smoked salmon salad - P, S

    D - stuffed courgette with bolognaise/cheese - S, free, Calcium

    Calcium - milk

    SWIPs - 0.5 plus hi fi bar 3 = 3.5 total

    L - chicken fajitas - Fibre; P; S
    D - butternut squash & sweet potato curry, rice, naan, mango chutney - Fibre; P; S; F; 3

    Calcium - milk
    Fibre - wrap; naan
    Swips - sausage 1; mango chutney 3

    Have a good day everyone.

    Morning everyone,

    I’m reading about the temperatures most of you are having and hope you’re all coping.

    Mum is unwell again so trying to get a bit more organised - with everything not just food 🙈. I managed to get to group and it was a wee half pound gain. I’m over the moon considering I wasn’t really on plan all week!

    It’s six weeks until I go to Tenerife (I can’t reschedule again so 🤞) and I would love to be at target. I’m doing a food diary this week as handing it in seems to keep me on the straight and narrow.

    Breakfast was 40g granola, loads of chopped fruit, Kvarg - fibre and 0.5 swips. Dinner is homemade burgers with huge salad. I’m planning on using the large flat mushrooms as a bun with black pepper cheddar slice as calcium choice.

    Sorry to hear your Mum is unwell @Jellybaby x You did well to only have a little gain given the circumstances.

    I was at Mums for just over two hours. The triffid jasmine was completely engulfing her pergola so I had many trips up a large ladder. I couldn’t tidy up as only had two sacks so will go back tomorrow. Have booked a tip trip for Monday afternoon. Body Magic!!
