Thank you @bubbs for checking the syn value. It was between 4 of us so 1.5 for my portion. Great that the blood results for DH were okay x
Excellent 0.5lb off @maman x
Hope you have a better day tomorrow @milann x
I’ve been to yoga and have only just eaten. Off tomorrow and no car again. Might walk to Sittingbourne and back to get my steps in.

Morning all, more rain overnight so quite damp out but not raining at the moment and none forecast just more grey miserable weather.
We're off to Sittingbourne today too @Coxy11 as DH wants to go to Halfrauds as run out of screen wash and theirs is a reasonable price and smells nice! Will take the opportunity to pop into M&S to see if they have the 5 grain crumpets which can be used as HEB!
It was WI for me this morning and it was less of a gain than expected (after having pizza this week!) of 0.2lb so hopefully I can shift that plus at least 0.5lb this week by making sure I stick to plan for the full week!
Today's plan:
B - baked oats topped with a few flaked almonds, fruit - HEB; S; F; 3
L - jacket potato, tuna & sweetcorn mayo, pickles - P; S; F; 2
D - chicken curry, rice, naan, mango chutney - HEB2; P; S; F; 3HEA - milk
HEB1 - oats
HEB2 - naan
Swips - almonds 3; mayo 2; chutney 3 = 8Have a good day everyone.

B - toasted protein bagel thin, poached egg - HEB, P
L - brown rice bowl - free, P, HEA, S

Had to laugh when I read your post @Coxy11! I know we've seen a photo of you on here but not sure I'd recognise you if I saw you in the street!
Do hope your car seat doesn't take too long to dry out, nothing worse than sitting on a damp seat. Maybe put a carrier bag on it to sit on so you don't get a wet bum!
Can I ask for how many Swips there are in a Tbs of harissa paste please? I'll be using some tomorrow but no idea how many to allow. The recipe needs 3 Tbs for 6 portions so only 0.5 Tbs per portion so hoping not too high. Thanks.

Morning all,
A late night for me as picked DS2 up from the station at 00:20 and the train was running late. Still doesn’t stop me waking early though.

L - we will be out so not sure but will take an apple with me
D - lasagne - cheese sauce made with seriously spreadable light, brocolli and green beans - P, S, Free, HEA
HEA - milk
Syns - tbc
What will you use the harissa paste for @joedenise?

Morning all, another cloudy day, cold and breezy so hopefully will get my washing dry. Only a small load but contains a couple of things which have got stained with tomato from when I was making the curry last night so wanted to get that washed and hope the stain comes out! Why do I always splash myself when I've used tomatoes in a sauce? Sods law I suppose!
DD2 is coming for lunch today so we're having our main meal at lunchtime and will just have something lighter this evening.
B - fry up with bacon - P; S; F
L - harissa beef stew, mash - P; S; F; 0.5
D - ham, egg, chips - P; FHEA - milk
HEB - none planned
Swips - harissa paste 0.5; G&Ts 6Have a good day everyone.
