So I've had a very productive day and so far this has been the least stressful move we've done (so far at least), and we've done a few. It's mainly because half of our stuff is in storage so I've not had as much to pack, but almost everything is packed up and ready to go! Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly tomorrow!

I also got a shiny new laptop today as mine decided it didn't want to charge anymore. I've had it for 6 years so it was a matter of time before it gave up. My new one is an Asus Vivobook and has a touch screen and everything - I'm smitten! ASUS Vivobook S200E-C158H 11.6

Food Diary...

Breakfast - banana, chobani 0%(2.5 syns)

Lunch - 2 ww sausage (1 syn), bacon (fat removed), baked beans, frylight egg, frylight tinned new potatoes

Dinner - homemade burgers w/ wholemeal roll (HEXb), rf cheddar (HEXa), 1 tsp ketchup (0.5 syns), 1 tbsp el mayo (1 syn), 1 tsp chutney (0.5 syns), lettuce, red onion, broccoli, sweetcorn, SW chips

We're in the new house and we love it! I'm so pleased as we've had a few "are we doing the right thing" moments over the past couple of months but it really is lovely and it feels like home already. I'm looking forward to getting unpacked and giving the house a proper spring clean as it's a bit chaotic trying to find things at the moment. There are also a lot of boxes that we moved into storage when we left London in January 2010 so I have no idea what's in those. I've got a feeling a lot of stuff will end up at a charity shop. The furniture we have is also a bit too big for the living room as in London it was huge so we will be replacing all of that. We wanted to anyway so I'm glad that it doesn't go!

I was actually meant to be in Manchester this weekend seeing friends anyway so they're coming round to see the house any minute then I'm leaving the OH until tomorrow. I'm really hoping he does some unpacking and builds the bed but I've got a feeling that the only things that will be unpacked and built are his xbox and surround sound kit lol!

Boys and their toys eh?!

Happy New Home! x

Thanks emsie.

I've been a bit off plan since moving but I'm getting back on it 100% today and I'll brave the scales on Friday!

We're settling in nicely and slowly unpacking. There are quite a few boxes I'm not looking forward to opening as I know they're full of stuff we need to get rid of. Most of the boxes belong to the OH and he's a bit of a hoarder so I'm expecting some disagreements!

I'll take some pics once I've cleared the rooms and they look presentable.

Hi I was just reading your thread and ww sausages are only 0.5 syns but when I go on the sw app they are 5 each. I'm really confused as low fat sausages in my book are only listed as 1.

I can't check the app as I'm not a member anymore but I've checked them in the past and they were 0.5 syn each? I can't imagine they're 5 syns each now as I don't think the recipe has changed but definitely don't take my word for it as I could be wrong. I hope they aren't 5 syns as they actually taste like sausages. If they are I'll switch back to Tesco light choices as they're 1 syn and yummy!

 

[charl_young]

Well done love!! Wow, must be all the moving buzzy energy! Any job news? Is it lovely? x

 

[newbee89]

Wow, that's amazing! Maybe all this moving in has meant some body magic, in more than one way HELLO new bed! hahah

Update: they are definitely 0.5 syns each on extra easy. Are you searching the values for green as I suspect that's how you're getting such a high syns value?

 

[vintagepockets]

Thanks guys. Haha tracey! I've just had TOTM which is actually why I think I've had such a big drop as I always lose a few pounds straight after. I'm sure I'll be back up by the weekend!
