Morning all!
Good luck with the weigh in MRSM for tomorrow!;)
Toniwoty - that pud sounded delicious!:drool:
Not too sure what we'll be eating for dinner but lunch and brekky is sorted.
B - mini weetabix(fruit and nut)with skimmed milk
L - HM butternut squash soup with a seeded bread roll.
snacks will be bananas and grapes - might have a mullerlite too.
Have a good day all!Do what you love :happyhear0 -
Morning folks :hello: Up early today, I'm 'on holiday' but OH is working so I still have to get up, he 'doesn't do mornings' so I've plied him with several cups of coffee and then resorted to the boot!
I've had Oat so simple with fruit and nut sprinkles this morning - very tasty, not very OS but I'm trying to reduce portion sizes.;)
I'll do some wallpaper repairs in my kitchen today, we had a leak before I decorated last year, I stainblocked the ceiling but forgot to do the casing round the downpipe and it's come through :mad: So strip it and seal it today and repaper tomorrow.
I'm going to pop to the shops later for a few bits, completely blown my food budget for this month now so might as well go for a few treats!!
RS - glad you're feeling better. I hate LMc sausages (too greasy) and Quorn.......are ok in a casserole. It's the texture I don't like, but the Cauldron one's are LUSH! My favourites are the cumberland - spicy and peppery, even meat-eating OH likes then so they must be ok!
Pigpen - :rotfl: I have the same problem with cabbage!!! I'd buy some more if I were you:rotfl: :rotfl:
Taplady - maintaining is BRILLIANT!!! Well done:T
Toniwoty - I got it through Amazon, loads cheaper £54 and it included a pack of 4 replacement mopheads which were £15 everywhere else, I've only tried it once but I'm excited :j
Might make a pan of soup later for lunch, not sure on the rest of the day but it will include bananas and custard for pud - the ones MrT delivered were already ripe and being poorly I've not eaten any .......banana ideas anyone????
Have a nice day folks :A0 -
Morning everyone - well, Spring has arrived here with howling winds, driving rain, freezing temperatures - lovely! I went out to take DD2 to school and found that the car won't start so now am waiting for the Renaultassist people to come and have a look at it. It is still under warranty and has just been serviced so should be covered for repairs if parts are needed.
Rockie - thanks for the info on cauldron sausages - I will get some in this week's shop. I love sausages but they can be very calorific, and the low fat ones are never that nice IMO. And ooooh! steam mops - I have wanted one for AGES and am going to go on Amazon in a minute to have a look!
Thank you all for your kind invitations to send you the offending chain e-mail, but I have decided that I need to just forget about it so that is what I am going to do - It is silly to get wound up about it I know, but I think yesterday I was feeling a bit vulnerable because I had just had another do with my AF and spent the night in hospital...
Pigpen - :rotfl: :rotfl: I am exactly the same with fruit and veg - I don't think I have EVER had constipation - and if I eat brocolli, cauliflower, oranges, strawberries or tomatoes or stuff like all-bran then I get really volcanic bowels!
Ampersand - well done on the terrific 5lbs loss!!
Taplady - well done on maintaining - if I had the hang of that then I wouldn't be where I am now! I have lost and regained about 200 stone over the last 20 years!!!!
Meals today are undecided
Breakfast (just had) Mullerlite blueberry yoghurt with 1tbs of hm oaty granola stuff
Lunch - was going to have salad but it is so wintery I fancy something hot so may have some veg soup out of freezer with a chicken pitta (leftover chicken heated up in micro with lettuce and spring onions). The new Tesco healthy living multigrain pittas are lovely.
Dinner - pork chop, onions and mushrooms, brocolli, bit of mashed potato and gravy.
Snacks - fruit and cups of decaff tea and coffee. I never used to like decaff coffee and tea but the Kenco decaff coffee and Twinings everyday decaff tea bags are okay.
Have got to go out later and get a few Easter eggs for friend's kids - I feel better able to resist chocolate now that they have said that it can kick off my AF - I probably won't have any. Since they told me not to have alcohol I haven't touched even a sip for two years and I don't miss it at all really.
DD1 is returned from her revision course but has been welded to her phone in full autowitter since she arrived so hasn't said a word to me yet!Jane

B- smoothie L roll quavers yoghurt D- ?? maybe egg on toast after salsa class
Weigh in tomorrow Good Friday Challenge a distant dream but definately half a stone for MayDay:D
I am a walking Goddess,definately going to be looking ridiculous on a hillside near you all soon with my nordic poles:cool:
Pigpen as a chat up line for our male contributor your japanese flag story sucks:p
Well done to losers and Tappy for maintaining.0 -

Nothing is sacred in this hall of sanity.
I'm not good at chat up lines.. I prefer to dazzle with my smile, large bazoobas and hope they don't actually listen to what I'm saying lol .. would the 'blood orange' metaphor have been better??? Or the 'red pan scrub'??
Why is there nothing for brekkie in here???
Ready brek (ick) weetabix (chuck) and porridge (double barf)

Well done on the brilliant loss ampersand! :T :T What a happy little kiwi you must be.
Recovering - Glad you're feeling much more positive.. very wise to ignore that other business. Those emails get more ridiculous over the years. Those and the bogus begging ones really tick me off. :mad:
Rockie - those spicy cauldron sausages are lovely. Our morrisons sometimes have them reduced and I used to swoop in before starting to make our own. Have not found others that compare over the years.
Could have done with those being out when I was a veggie years ago. :rolleyes: In my 'teens' there wasn't much choice...my poor mum was at a loss with what to give me.
Food today:
Raisin and cinnamon muffin with butter
toast from HM loaf with creamed mushrooms & ground pepper.
dinner undecided
The lads are having spagetti bog for dinner but I'm not keen on that. I'll just wait and see what calls me later but it'll be something hot as its a horrid day here weatherwise.
OH and DS1 break up tonight for 4 days so I'm feeling in holiday mode. :j Promised to make them iced finger buns for when they get home.
Frogga's pc is taking some doing. Its a pity when you're at the mercy of someone elses help as everyone is so busy. She said it could be some time, didn't she? Bad timing tho because she'd got well into her stride, hadn't she? Hope she's keeping to it and coping on her own.
Right I'd better go clear those breakfast dishes... will make a hot water bottle first and pop it on the sofa so that when I'm done I'll have a nice warm seat to place my behind on ready to watch a dvd and x-stitch. Well, it is holiday and I'm home alone..DS2 out at cousins.
Catch you all later.
Oh and well done Taplady on staying on target despite holiday treats. Am seriously impressed. :beer:AUGUST GROCERY CHALLENGE £115.93/ £250

I don't like this- it's all quiet Frogga ran away and now I think MRSM has been abducted by aliens- thank goodness Tappy came back... I'm not good with change I'm getting all twisty:eek:0
