Elkays resurrected food diary

[Elkay]

:giggle: - I love playing supervisor to DIY jobs around the house!

Loving the idea of the all you can eat buffet! Good luck with making "the right choices" - You have it in your mind now plus you will want to lose this week, so I'm sure you will do it!

Is it a nice place? Where abouts is it? Are the prices at a competitable rate? Yep, dead nosey me! We were thinking of going to the One And Two Halves for Boxing Day dinner this year, the one just over the road from Mac D's? But due to the shananigans of "the family" - that went out the window, but they are doing cheap enough meal deals there this year for christmas.

Have a great week. And lets hope we both post our letters xxx

Hi Nik - supervising is a very important job you know. I'll let you know what this place we are going to is like - I've never been before, it's between Dudley and Wolverhampton. Hope Will Power joins me for lunch

I've never been to the One & Two Halves but I know a few people who have - never heard any bad comments. The meal prices over Christmas are getting better as more pubs are doing Christmas food - they used to ramp the prices up over Xmas time but I noticed the other day a pub was advertising 4 course Xmas day lunch for £35 - when they first started doing Xmas lunches it was £60 - it was a novelty then I suppose.

Will definiely be posting my letter tomorrow otherwise I will be paying £60 and I am definitely not doing that!

Have a lovely Sunday Nik.

Hi Kals, hope you are OK and are having a good week. I am having a horrible day - I am wracked with guilt over my egg custard and crisps and I think I can feel the extra lbs already. I think I could do with that kick you promised .

Good job on STS, I thought you would lose this week in all honesty, but it's so much better than a gain. Good luck with the coming week. Have a lovely weekend L. xxx

Ah thanks Nik. Not too bothered about the STS - that's life (for me ), another week another WI and I'm ever the optimist!

With a kick like that you'll be scouted by the Villa - after todays rubbish performance they need somebody with a good left kick .

I'm really looking forward to seeing the film now - I love the cinema but I have been known to doze off on more than one ocassion! I agree re Morgan Freeman too.

Hope you have a good week.
