Morning!
At work so writing a sneaky post lol. OH has changed the location of the meal today to make it more SW friendly for me. It's got a carvery so I can just have the meat and loads of veg and a bit of gravy and syn that. Much more manageable than originally thought so I feel a bit more relieved.
Have been researching cost of things for the wedding today - my my my people charge crazy prices for things! Am I being tight or is £200 for a cake a lot of money?! And as for flowers.....i hate flowers but will be weird without them! I'd love a brooch bouquet but they can cost hundreds and even getting the materials together to have a go at making my own will be really expensive. If I could get enough brooches (50ish) for £50 then I would do that and have wrist corsages for the bridesmaids (all 5 of them!!) but otherwise it just gets pricier and pricier. Stressed! Doesn't help that slimming world costs a fortune but it needs to be done!
EE Day
Breakfast
Weetabix & milk (A&B)
Lunch
Chicken pasta salad
Tea
Roast chicken with vegetables (5 syns for gravy and any sneaky oil!)

oh ideal that the dinner has been changed...phew! lol
as for the wedding stuff...i'm not married, but i know it's a fortune!
and £200 for a cake...is one of the cheapest i've heard of!
crazy eh! my friend got married a few years ago and they paid out £12000!!!
i think it can be done as cheap/expensive as you want....but things will always be OTT when it comes to charging....do you know anyone who could make the cake for you?
hope your shift goes ok today...enjoy your dinner

What time do you weigh?
I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry...I'm kinda feeling a bit the same after last week's surprise gain! I've been 100% on plan for 3 wks...I'm looking for results!
We just need have some faith in the plan....fingers crossed x

Morning diary,
Feeling a bit better this morning - thank you for your lovely messages last night!
On reflection I still feel disappointed but there's no point dwelling on the situation, I need to take this frustration and use it positively. And that can only mean one thing - gym time! I'm going to hit the gym on my way home from work, no excuses. I'm going to try 10 minute interval training on each bit of equipment I like - treadmill, rower, crosstrainer and bike followed by weights. Determined to make this week a positive one.
EE Day
Breakfast
Fruit salad (melon, strawberries, apple, tangerine & grapes)
Lunch
Pasta arrabiatta (contains, tinned tomatoes, pasatta, onions & peppers for superfree)
Tea
Slow cooked spicy beef stew with mustard mash & broccoli, onions, celery, passatta, carrots & peppers
Snacks
Scan bran topped with cheese spread (A&B)
Coconut bar (9.5 syns)

Woo hoo on the house! Is it the same rent etc or even less to help with wedding funds?
It's slightly more, but no bond so we haven't got to scrape £500 together! We've got £550 tied up in the bond for this house so should get the majority if not all of that back which will bump up the wedding fund! Xx
