oh @beanielou it looks gorgeous there. Glad you had a good time.
Great news on the greenhouse @Coxy11
Enjoy your break away @bubbs. Whatever the outcome you’ll get it back off - so enjoy every mouthful
I’ve weighed in as usual and had a 0.2kg loss. Chuffed with that. No weigh in for me next week as we will be away ( and I do intend to enjoy myself) so I’ll check the damage in a fortnight.
Usual brekkie of fruit and Greek yog
Lunch - crackers, cottage cheese and cherry toms/mini cucumber
Tea - Red Thai curry and boiled rice with sugar snaps and edamame beans (swips in sauce)
Snacks, grapes, babybels and maybe a couple of chocs

Well done on your loss @Matron_Midge . 👍 Enjoy your holiday and I agree with you on checking the damage afterwards. 😁
That photo looks like a beautiful place @beanielou ,no wonder you enjoyed it. 😊
I've never cooked pulled pork @Coxy11 and @bubbs although we both like it. Which recipe do you use and is it difficult to get all the visible fat off the pork? 🤔
I've got plenty of leftovers for lunches for the next couple of days so my menu will look a bit samey. I do enjoy veg and pickles though. 😋
Today's plan -
B- porridge, blueberries, banana, strawberries (fibre, F, S), milk for drinks (calcium)
L- ham, egg (P), LO veg and pickles (S)
D- salmon (P), SW chips (F), roasted veg (S)
Swips - none planned 🤞

Thanks @bubbs ,your taco looks delicious. 😋
Interestingly, I was in the GP surgery this afternoon and overheard someone making a telephone appointment. The receptionist said, we'll email confirmation but ignore the time given on it, it'll just happen 'some time in the morning'. 🤔

Morning!
Change of plan for dinner last night as DS2 was going out. We had sausages, AF SW chips and green beans. I chose LM red onion and rosemary sausages and DH and DD had Aldi skinny ones. So a SWIP-free dinner for me. I attended a Parish Council meeting where they were serving wine(!) so I had a small glass of white plus a HM sausage roll - SWIPs for those.
I plan to take DDad to Whitstable today as the weather is meant to be nice. It’s a bit drab atm. Dinner is FB SW Mo’s paprika chicken with rice and veg so I’ll look for a low SWIP lunch when I’m out. Soup or JP….Cross-stitch WIP: Haberdashery Shop Fiver Friday challenge 2026 founding member 😊 Read 26 books in 2026 18/26 Currently

Afternoon all 😁
Well something odd happened last night 😱 i slept! I never woke up till 8.35 😱 we (the royal we 🤣) changed the bed yesterday and put the new duvet back on as nights are getting chilly and DH said it must have been the new duvet 😂 he also said i wasn't groaning half the night like normal with my shoulder! Or it was i was completely knackered and catching up on sleep! See what happens tonight.
Hope you had a nice day Coxy, it's cloudy here but really warm and windy, bedding dried within about an hr!
