flipping 'eck, who stole the sunshine we've been having the last few days? It might not have been any warmer - but it sure as hell looked a lot nicer out there
Its going to be one of those days where it never gets 'properly light'
Im doing an EE day today.
B 2 plums, activia, satsuma ( wasnt very hungry tbh)
L scrambled egg, toms & mushrooms done in the griddle pan....may have a part frozen ww desert recipe yog in a bit for pud.
T woke up craving HM burgers
so I asked OH to go to the butchers for some extra lean mince (empty head here didnt get any at morrisons or asda!!:sigh
Im doing burgers, sw chips & beans....good old comfort food for OH but I'm going to be good & have some side salad with mine (well I'l eat a dish of salad with yog sauce before it as Im not sure about beans & salad together)
HEB will be a fibre plus bar HEA milk for teas
Syns so far 2...butter in scrambled egg - Im hoping not to use any more today if i can manage so ive got more saved for tommorrow nights travel.

well my HM burgers last night were scrummy....slight disaster...empty head didnt get any wm rolls :sigh: soooo I was faced with a choice, either have a burger on its own, or I had some little half size paninis in the freezer (dont need to tell you which won ) It kind of stuffed my plans for going almost syn free....but it was very very nomnomnommmy
anyway today Im having a GREEN DAY...bit of comfort food me thinks, and a good way of making sure I DEFINATELY dont use any syns up!!!
brekkie egg, beans, 2x plums
lunch jacket spud cottage cheese toms
tea? not sure? maybe a mushy pea curry, or just some pasta n sauce with some veggies. dont want to be making a big mess cooking as we set off later tonight for bruges.
HEBs fibre plus & ryvita HEA milk for teas & mad cows
Im a little worried now about the trip...its by ferry, and with my balance thing and the puking situation Im terrified of the ferry crossing :cry: BUT ive got my seabands that I wore all the time after my op to help with the motion sickness(which really were brilliant)...and ive got some travel pills...which strictly speaking im not allowed to take as they interfere with the signals from my working ear to my brain:sigh:-but im going to have some in my bag for emergencies so heres hoping I'm just being a big wuss & worrying for nothing

Well Im back from my jaunt to Bruges....just about in one piece, but it wasnt the complete success we had hoped.
The ferry crossing there wasnt too bad...the water was almost like a millpond most of the way, and we headed for the main bar where the entertainment was (and a nice spot to get outside for a ciggie)
I had 2 or 3 halfs of stella (the only lager on draught)and a couple j2os & waters and made that do me from 5 til bedtime when I had 2 coffees with baileys
My OH however stayed on the stella (draft stella at home he wont touch....as it gives him memory loss from the night before
) we got talking to this older couple and he kept ordering drinks-but refusing to let us pay! anyhow by the end of the evening My OH was shitfaced & unable to walk straight enough to get me back to the cabin
in fact he nearly got us slung out of the entertainment bit (and him thrown overboard by a gang of grannies) by shouting 'HOUSE' in the middle of the bingo game.....we werent even playing!!!!
So this lovely couple walked back with us (it was getting a little 'sway' going on the boat by now and I was finding it a bit hard to balance as well as normal (not only because of the boat but the baileys was now kicking in I think. I got my OH in the room & we had bunk beds, Well.... there was no way he was in any state to get on the top bunk - and I certainly couldnt.
So I sat on a buffet in this tiny cramped room thinking what to do while he sat on the bottom bunk & tried to take his boots off and promptly fell on the floor in a heap
problem solved, I dragged the pillow & quilt off the top bunk for him on the floor and I got into bed
Ive got a few piccies to prove to him haow bad he was
Anyway the next morning we woke up to offload to spend the day in Bruges...my OH was severely hungover, it peed it down ALL DAY without a break, we were soaked thru (and I as you all know am not the quickest walker in the world with the crutches) We made our way right up to the main square, we had ordered some tobacco online to collect at a shop when we got there, collected our full allowance each & he then had to carry 6 kg in his rucksack in the pouring down rain feeling like **** for the rest of the day as we werent sure we would find this shop again.
We then set off on another mammoth walk to the brewery museum....AND IT WAS BLOODY CLOSED until the following day
so we trailed a bit further and in between went to a tearoom/bar back in the square I had a massive waffle with cream, ice cream & belgian choc sauce OMG I was happy at last!!!! and a hot choc (well whats a few more syns
) He got his mussels with chips & mayo (I had to help him eat the chips & mayo of course)
It was getting about time to start making our way back towards where the bus was collecting us by now...we had planned visiting a bar place that sold 100 types of beer (so I could try the flavoured ones) so we looked at the map planned it out....I was so tired at this point I just wanted to sit. We made it (wet through & freezing) to the bar.....IT WAS CHUFFING CLOSED !!!!!
so we ended up sat in belgium- in an irish bar
what a disaster of a trip ha ha. It was raining so hard we didnt even get any photos.
Oh yeah and on the way back the sea was rough and I was really sick in the night because I took my seabands off to get in the shower before bed and forgot to put them back on
Well Ive told My OH we we have to try and go again....
A) when its not raining
B) he doesnt drink stella
C) Just make sure it turns out better than this time
Ive lost count of the amount of crap ive eaten & Drunk just because it was so cold and wet, and to top it all today ive woken up with all my body aching, coughing and feeling generally poop I think I have a really bad cold starting :sigh:

Oh no!
Not the best trip in the world!
But at least the baccy shop and the tea rooms weren't closed. And the waffles etc were v tasty.
Sorry you were ill on the way back - but that was self inflicted!
It sounds as though your OH was actually dizzier than you, for quite a lot of the trip. Makes a change!
Anyway, it's good to have you back. The place is just a little too *refined* without your comments!

Well Us yorkshire puddings have a way with words yeah I was a little....no scrub that, I was a lot sick on the trip back, but if I had put the seabands back on I reckon I wouldnt have been ( I stopped more or less as soon as I put them back on....just felt a bit odd still but not sick) they really are good-if you wear them that is
My OH was soooooo drunk, he said at the time he wasnt- he said it was just that his legs didnt work because of the boat!!
he normally doesnt get 'drunk drunk' but it was flipping draught stella so I knew we would have problems of some sort ha ha.....he paid for it tho...hes still suffering today Like you say, we got the baccy shop sorted & Im full of waffles (no I dont mean Im talking **** ha ha) I mean belgian waffles - AND I kept my promise and didnt bring a boat load of choccie home - I ate it there instead

Hmmm it was...well....strange....surreal
the hot choc topped with a mountain of whipped cream was the one thing that just about kept me sane at a point where I was about to break down & sob I was sooooo cold, wet, tired and another 4 hours to kill before the bus came for us :sigh:
Im in for a definate gain this week....but I deserve it...I will take it on the chin !!!

My fave hot choc ever, was topped with mini marshmallows, and whipped cream and it was delish. Sometimes when it's all a bit poo, a little of something nice, stops your head exploding.

*Pops in, tries to summon up witty pun about Mussels from Brussels. Fails. Sympathises with your trip. Frowns at your OH. Sings very loudly in the hope that he still has the hangover. Offers him greasy fried bread. Gives up. Leaves again.*

Aww huni sorry about the trip!! Dont worry it will be better next time as you wont have high expectations and you'll know where everywhere is and OH wont be drunk or hungover lol.
Dont worry about it if you have a gain, your brilliant at getting them off and life sometimes pushes you to over syn, its how you deal with it afterwards that makes the difference!! xx

WI may have to Booooger off unless my OH gets home in time to let me weigh & run, as my usual lift stays to class -and Im just not up for sneezing, freezin, coughing, and having a banging head for a couple of hours there.....when Ive got my 'poorly blanket' here on the sofa
think its going to be a green day, but im not sure what yet. I will post what ive eaten later
* slides back under the blanket & tries to stop thinking about toast :sigh: *
