Yes that is exactly what I was doing. Thanks for pointing that's out as I have been using the tesco lights sausages and they where coming up as 4 each so 8 points I've been putting. I feel loads better about eating sausages now lol

I've had a couple of days off plan. Well Friday was on plan until the evening when a friend came over for dinner. I made paella which was SW (apart from the chorizo) but then we had wine and ice cream. Yesterday involved cake and a trip to tampopo plus more booze. Today I'm planning to have a good food day and no alcohol until the weekend but may not even have any then if we don't do anything.

We're planning to go to an antiques fair today to see if we can get anything for the house. I've never been to one before so I've got no idea what to expect price-wise. Even if we do come home empty handed it should be a nice day out. I'm also planning on scouring ebay, gumtree and the local charity shops this week in the hope we can find a bargain!

Totally understandable. I have been awol for a month solid now since the move and my new job etc. Slimming World has took a back seat because my mind has been so preoccupied with other things that are 'bigger' if you get me. Things are starting to settle now and I know I need to just get back on track and stop making excuses, so that's what I am doing!

Looking forward to seeing how you get on at the fair post pics of house when you get a chance!

OOOOH an antiques fair how exciting! Hope you come back with inspiration and bargains.

We hopefully get the keys to our house in the next couple of weeks.

Oooo Antique fair! Lush! We went to the coast today and they have a huge one there but we had the puppy so couldn't look she gets scared by lots of people, I was itching to have a rummage! X

 

[vintagepockets]

That's really exciting Kath I can't wait to see the place. I really need to take some pictures - I'll try to tomorrow. The antiques fair was good! Although we didn't buy anything it did get us excited about buying old furniture as from what we saw it's cheaper and better quality than buying from somewhere like IKEA. There is a big antiques centre in Manchester that's been recommended to us so we might pop along to there tomorrow. I also just posted the furniture the previous owners left behind on Gumtree so hopefully we can get rid of that this week too. I'm a bit nervous about having complete strangers come to our house to collect stuff but I'm sure it'll be ok...?

It was but I keep going over syns. The scales were back up to 9st 11lbs today which is fine as still at target but I need to be careful. I seem to keep getting major chocolate cravings lately.

 

[vintagepockets]

This week has been a complete disaster food-wise! I'm going to be back 100% from Monday - no more chocolate binges in the evening and SF with every meal. I'm going to WI Monday morning and there is no way I'm going to get away with it this time!
