tried to be pretty good, I'm sure I've over estimated my syns, they use healthy stuff where possible, having mayo only happens at the BBQ's, coleslaw they make themselves, so it might be reduced fat, the burgers were 80% beef... but hey ho, not a problem, as overall, even over estimated I'm still within my weekly amount (just)
Oh, and I stuck to poxy diet coke again!!!!! Boy, I'm gonna have a beer soon!!

Got home after a nighmare train journey... left the office a little after 7pm, missed the 7:20 train, so next ione was 7:50... ot on that, listened to music, read the paper, you know, normal, to look up and see a station I didn't recognise :confused:
Got off, came on the one bvack, changed onto another platform... and waited, and waited, finally got home at almost 9:45 instead of 8:30 grrrr AND I was stone cold sober.... I wouldn't have minded if I was drunk!!

I was flipping hungry when I got in, so had some supper

Supper: ham sarnie & crisps
