A yummy (and happier and healthier) mummy - for good this time!

Thanks girls!! I was so chuffed!

And thanks for the hint Moonbeam! Might have to pop to Sainsbury's and grab some :) I cant remember the brand of ravioli i had- just some that was stuffed in the back of the cupboard!!

Feeling very naughty! Just had a WHOLE twirl! A multipack one so slightly smaller than a normal full size one but i feel giddy with the chocolate goodness!!
 
Yay for chocolate!! I've totally been craving chocolate lately - sooo jealous about the Twirl - I used to eat those quite regularly. (Which is part of how I ended up here, hahaha! Ahhh but yes, now I'm learning, moderation is the key!!)

B: Nothing.
L: Sainsbury's veggie sushi 2syns. Yogurt. Banana. Satsuma.
D: Porridge (made with 35g porridge oats hexB1, sweetener and 200ml skimmed milk part hexA1)

Snacks: Space raiders 3syns. Yogurt. Fruit salad (kiwi, plum, pear and grapes). Multipack twirl 9syns. 2 x Alpen light bars hexB2.

Syn Total- 14syns
 
Ive had a really bad tummy today- been using a lot of "comfort break" time at work today!
Not sure what caused it as i ate two things yesterday that i havent had in a while (the porridge and sushi) but also I've been fine eating them before...

D: Mugshot. Space raiders 3syns. Satsuma.

Drinks: Starbucks medium skinny caramel latte (skimmed milk hexA and SF syrup) 1 x cup of tea (sweetener and dash of skimmed milk 0.5syn) Water.
Syn Total- 11.5syns
 
Oh no hope you feel better? I'd be inclined to suspect sushi of the two but our bodies are strange things, could be any number of bugs I suppose!
I was wondering if I could pick your brains- I'm being taken to Costa after a wedding fayre on Sunday and gather from your posts they do a sugar free syrup & I can use a hexa but what do I ask for? Size etc?! I have never been lol sheltered life! X
 
Haha! It's fine! I am a bit of a coffee addict!

Medio is the hexA size and costa do SF caramel (and a few others but it can vary from shop to shop)
Just an americano would be free (apart from a splash of milk) but its just coffee and water.

Make sure you ask for skinny and keep an eye on them making it- one by where I used to live had a tendancy to just use whole milk if they had a bunch of orders together!

And im feeling fine so far today! Havent eaten anything yet so time will tell. H2b is feeling a little iffy today though- he hasnt moaned about his tummy yet but I'm sure he will soon.
 
If you go non-sugarfree for the syrups they generally use 3 pumps so 3syns- if they still have the gingerbread flavour in from xmas i used to adore it! Or i usually have a vanilla syrup.

Tummy has still been a little iffy today so i havent eaten a lot in volume. H2b is suffering from what i think sounds like heartburn or indigestion. But he did mention a bad stomach earlier- plus he has been very windy... Not pleasant (and sorry for the TMI!)
Plus Reece has been incredibly grumpy today! Just wining and not being himself so its leading me to believe we may have a tummy bug in the house.

Todays food (EE day)-
B: Nothing.
L: 2 x WM toast hexB topped with 50g philadelphia light part hexA. WW yogurt. Satsuma.
D: 3 x Tesco light choices sausages 3syns. Baked beans. Scrambled egg.

Snacks: WW yogurt. Half a banana. Multipack twirl 9syns.
Drinks: Cups of tea (1 with 1tsp sugar 1syn and the rest with sweetener, skimmed milk part hexA). Diet orangeade. Water.
Syn Total - 13syns

Just try and avoid the muffins and yummies!! I cant even imagine the damage in those!

Welcome back Jade!!! How are you? Hows Emilia?

Muffins are my favourite... mmmmm!
I'm great thank you lovely... just getting used to being back at work full time :( Emilia is doing great too thanks, although she seems to have been constantly ill with one thing or another since Christmas. How's Reece? xxx
 
Rant time!!
Just need to get it out!
Finally got all the invites posted on Tuesday and h2bs brother has decided to have a moan and whine because his hasn't arrived yet and h2bs sisters and parents has.
Like im in charge of royal mail!

H2bs mum even suggested i send another straight away(!! Maybe give it a few days!?!) and i shouldve sent ALL the invites by recorded delivery! As if I can spend all my wedding budget on postage...

H2bs mum was so supportive to begin with but the closer we get to the wedding the more overbearing she is getting and constantly making the focus about her other children and grandchildren (and not h2b or Reece who are kinda a large part of this wedding! Although the favouritism towards her other children and grandchildren has always been obvious.)
I love her to pieces but sometimes i just want to tell her to shut up and that the sun doesn't shine out of everyone else's behinds!

She even moaned at Christmas because her oldest grandchild (who is a bridesmaid) hasnt got a more prominent role!

So irritated...
 
Sending out invites recorded would just be wasting money really! How silly. Sorry to hear your future MIL is being a pain. What more prominent role could your niece have other than bridesmaid anyway!
 
How ridiculous to suggest they should have gone special delivery! Honestly I think wedding stress gets to other people more than the bride and groom!
I agree with snow, how much more important could your niece be?!
Know what you mean re favouritism unfortunately. My OH's dad prefers to talk/speculate about their other sons wedding (he's engaged but no date booked, has hinted at getting married abroad). Instead of looking forward to the one that's in 6 months! Oh dear I see to have joined in with your rant ;-) x
 
Join away Rosie!! It just drives me insane. I couldn't imagine favouring one child or grandchild over another!

And despite h2bs brother throwing a tantrum his invite DID arrive today! Just his post was later than the others. *facepalm*

H2bs mum wants the niece to be the centre of attention- wouldn't surprise me if she wanted her to wear a white dress and a veil! We said she could do a reading but thats probably still not enough.

Todays food (EE day)-
B: Nothing.
L: Porridge (35g oats and 200ml skimmed milk part hexA) WW yogurt. Satsuma.
D: Chicken chow mein (noodles, chicken breast, beansprouts, babycorn, carrots, onion, spring onion and 1/2 pouch of chow mein stir-fry sauce 3syns)

Snacks: Grapes. 2 x space raiders 6syns. Mini pack of Cadbury buttons 3.5syns. 2 x freddo faces 2syns. Half a banana.
Drinks: Cups of tea (sweetener and dashes of skimmed milk part hexA) Fruit tea. Pepsi max cherry. Water.
Syn Total- 14.5syns

Whoa, really? And recorded delivery? Weddings do make people a bit crazy - have seen it happen several times... I think we all get caught up in our own ideas of how perfect it can be, to the point of forgetting the reason for the celebration in the first place!

I hope she's able to take a step back and let you guys have the wedding YOU want.

Great food today, BTW :)
 
Well said moonbeam!
I can't believe his invite arrived today after all that! Its a bit crazy though- I'm the first out of the friendship circle to get married but like to think when it comes to the other girls I would put their feelings way above my own & anybody else. And that's my friends, not my child! You'd think she would be old enough to know better..
Your food does sound lovely today :) I'm yearning for porridge now- I think I'll have it for breakfast!
