Yep, standard strength beer, lager, draught cider are give or take a half Hee and there are 10 syns a pint....
Mind, so are 4 quality street, rather skip the chocolate!!

Haha yeah me too.. alcohol is soooo much better... just went in the pub and looked at all the drink in disgust... ended up drinking my own diet coke in my bag... don't know how long this willpower will last x
 
Morning Debs... Have a good one babe, its bloody cold here today apart from going to wi I think another one one the sofa for me...xx
 
Morning all, well, afternoon really lol
Ended up going to the office today as I was off Mon/Tues and feeling almost 100% now thankfully, no, don't think it's anything to do with JUDDD, there's loads of it going around, both in the office, and on the trains, Ken was also rough a few days last week, and the rest of his fambo now have it too.

Well, ended up out for lunch yesterday, pub last night, and I sneaked a naughty sausage roll - whoops

So, after work, straight to class, Asda shop and home to bed I reckon.
It's so flipping cold.....mind, having said that, I'm off to Denmark week after next, apparently they have 4 inches of snow at the moment brrrrr so thermals needed
 
I forgot Ken had been poorly and yes, the lurgy is doing the rounds so you were bound to catch it ... Grrr!

Thermals will deffo be required for Denmark! So close to Christmas too - it will hopefully feel magical! :23:
 
Evening.... will update my eats tomorrow as I need my bed

Another result today..... 1.5lb off YAY :D I'm now 0.5lb less than my lowest last year, and only 2lb away from 2 stone loss since August

AND....... about 6 or 7 weeks ago I was wearing size 16 jeans, although a little baggy, bought some 14's about 4 weeks ago, and tonight bought size 12 skinnies (all from the same shop, so, guess the sizes match-up) :banana dancer:
 
WK17 D6 Wed 06 DEC - strange day... EE of a fashion I guess


Back into the office, having decided on jacket & beans for lunch, to be told we were eating out...... thought we were goping to the lovely Italian, and Oh so easy to stay on plan..... except, that was dismissed, and we went to a poncey pub..OK,I stuck to diet coke, and chose the very best I could... avoided the pies and the scampi, and the creamy pasta, but there was so little choice :( don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it

so,
Lunch:Cajun and bourbon spiced chicken breast, rocket and mint yoghurt dressing on chiabata, chips , salad

OK, they were real chips with skins on, and only about a dozen, the bread wasn't on the menu?? but hey ho, there was so little there I ate it, and I ordered the salad as a side dish (good job too)

Ken came over in the evening..... and we decided to go out for a change, so, 4 pints and 2 sauasage rolls later (oh, and winning a box of maltesers in the raffle), home for an early night

went into the office Thursday, normally a work from home day... but didn't think I'd get away with just one day!!!

WK17 D7 Thu 07 Dec - DD

Black coffee, herbal tea, diet coke and 2 cups of tea after WI
 
Office Christmas party tonight, so, I'm being good foodwise today, and wihout a huge choice tonight (2 starters & 2 mains - wow), which I've had to pre-order I'm just going to enjoy it.... will try and be OK with the drinks... we'll see
 
Well, the party was excellent, quite posh, and the food was great, ended-up as a 5 course meal and took 4 hours or so!

Arrived at 6pm to a champagne reception, all waiters with silver salvers and the like (I still had beer, but served in wine glasses)
Then we moved to our private dining room, where we had some crispy rice ball thingy, followed by crab, artichokes and what I would guess to be squid mayonnaise. Main course was steak & 6 chips, then a sort of creme brûlée thing with mini meringues, fruit & pistachios, then came the cheese, biscuits & port
Sounds like loads, but each course was quite small as you'll see from the pictures, although I didn't take one of the rice balls
I had a couple of mouthfuls of the dessert, it was far too sweet for me, and I only had a little bit of these cheese
Ken had 2.5 desserts. & 2 lots of cheese!

I was good drink-wise, probably 5 bottles bud, a couple of shots that were served between courses and a glass of port.....in fact I drank far less than a normal night out, and this was all free too!!

Left just before 11 to catch the train home, didn't want the last one at 1150 as it's full of drunks and often a lot worse too!!

I wore my skinnies, and had loads of compliments, even though I see these people most days in the office, guess it was wearing something different. & a bit of make-up for a change!!

Food & me to follow
