Determined and can!!!!!

Hiya dudes. I have had a busy day, nothing new there. Had plan s for the cake but failed although I bought the ingredients! Managed to make a home made curry for tea. Busy day report writing then took daughter to hair dressers. Then booked the flights for next summer s hol s to Spain with the girls so excited. Last night we booked a half term holiday to sharm el shek for a week so excited! ! Too much going on for my little brain to cope with so really tired but want to make my ginger cake tomorrow! !!! :):eek::eek:
 
I'm impressed you know how to pack your day. Rest up and lots of nice holidays planned is ace. We're looking at a winter break too in November for a cheeky week away. Night night xx
 
Ooo holidays sound good Geordie - good to have something nice to look forward too huh :). Two weeks to mine :)
 
Yeah the Egypt hols ouf of the blue. We are both off and thought we would give it a go!!
Worked from home today had summer fruits and 1 weetabix for B 3 syns. Then snack 2 hifi light s and a banana. L was the birds eye salmon thats no syns and SW chips with a micro bag of veg. Fish and chip Friday.
Anyway tea is chicken stir fried with baby corn and pepper in a sweet chilli sauce and noodles. Having some red for a change.
Had a disaster, made ginger scran bran cake which came out a sloppy mess. The outside was savable middle goowy mush. I steaped the bran in water. Should I have just put a tiny bit in? Did I put too much syrup and treacle in? Did I put enough bran in? Recipe said 5. That to me is half a whole pack. It smelled nice so if i dk it properly it should work. Help anyone, cookie you seem to be the sb cake queen :confused:
 
Well if its any consolation, my first one was a disaster and I didn't eat it, the BF did (which is probably why he wont entertain any since)

Scan bran, well use half the pack & soften in boiling water just enough to cover, mine usually soaks it all up but if not I drain away the rest.
When you mush it all up it does look a sloppy mess, just double check measurements of syrup as I've not made the ginger one yet. Also all the ones I've done are cooked in the microwave in a Tupperware for around 8mins in a 700w microwave but I'm not sure if you bake the ginger one in the oven though.

Theres a diary called 'mutters corner .....scan bran addicts society or something like that, the minis on there might be able to help xxx
 
Hols unexpected but cannot wait! Not long for yours Aqua. Scran bran is dry and I haven't fancied it much. However I think if I got this cake right it would be lovely and moist. Have the recipe for the curly wurly one so gonna get the stuff while shopping today.
Getting my hair done at 9.30 then shopping. Going to try and get a dress. Off to my friends daughter's 18th tonight and have another do in a few weeks. Havent got long for shopping got to pick up daughter at 3.15!
Hope everyone has a great day
 
Exciting for you re the hols :). So can't wait for mine, next weekend will do some packing as then working all week and travelling the following Saturday to Dover, ferry on the Sunday. Double pack suitcase for Majorca and another with warmer clothes for France :) hope you manage to find yourself something nice at the shops. Someone else I'd not seen for a while yesterday commented on my weight loss, keep getting comments - boost that people are noticing.

All worth it hey. Are you going to have enough warm weather clothes Geordie for your hols? Let us know how curly wurly cake turns out.
 
Had to buy 6 curly wurly s as couldnt find just one! Will give the cake a go tomorrow. I have enough hols stuff for a week. Will cut up a pair of white trousers though I thought looked good until i saw this year's hols pics! They are in the cupboard. Will take a couple of pashminas incase its chilly on a night. I have a fab bikini in the drawer that was too tight so might see if it fits. Although I haven't really gained I have a pound still to loose to get back to the weight I was before I went to turkey last month.
Tonight I will see people I haven't seen for a few months. It will be interesting to see if anyone thinks I have lost weight! !!
 
Pashminas are good - I have a beige/gold/silver one so will prob take that as it will go with most things - it does get cool in the evenings in October. Just pulled out a bin liners worth of clothes from wardrobes that's a no no now so destined for charity shop - on the plus side as it gets cooler I do currently have enough lightweight work jumpers :). Some stuff though you do look at and think that's not me anymore. Have a lovely evening Geordie x
 
Hi Geordie, when your mates see you tonight they'll be WOW! At your weight loss, they'll be wel jel so knock em dead tonight, have a good time xx
 
Morning. Had a great night. I actually drove! I knew we would nt stay really late as Charlotte was coming with us. Friends said I looked well sk that was nice. The party was New York themed, they had spent forever decorating it was great and nice food.
Here are some pics the one in the green dress is at the beginning of May this year at a wedding a week before I started SW. The other 2 last night1380440994477.jpg1380441014250.jpg1380441029922.jpg

The best Saturday night I have had in ages! !
 
Thank s Sharon. Food today
B banana and ginger scran bran cake
L roast beef lunch with veg etc. Syn bits 2 roast pots and 1 Yorkshire pud 5 syns
S- scran bran choc cake maybe a syn and a sml fruit pot
Probably getting a take away chicken kebab for supper.
Made the curly wurly cake. Its really nice and cooked much better than the gi nger one and it tastes really chocolaty, the secret seems to be to be careful with the soaking of the bran!!!
 
Wow! Geordie you look gorgeous, you've lost loads of weight and look ace! You go girl. Very impressed with not drinking by the way! Meals look good, I've never had either of your scan bran cakes, but I want some now xx
