Going it alone...so my diary and you I hope become my group! :)

[Jellybean33]

I got myself some new jeans today (£9 in primark... Bargain!) and tried and failed to buy a new bra.. I have no idea what size I am, and with my clingy toddler practically climbing up my leg, I ended up giving up, randomly selecting a size to buy and try on at home, and surprise surprise, it doesn't fit!! :-(

But otherwise clothes shopping would've been fun!!!

Had a lovely night last night! Lots of cuddles with the baby Did end up with a cider and chinese but I shared it with Ray so should not have been too bad. Didn't get up until just after 11 this morning so didn't even get a drink until I got over to my Mom and Dad's. Back home and started the dinner. Going to look for a syn free cheese sauce recipe now, hope I can find one because I really fancy it today!..lol..

Hi Gemsta, tried your secret potatoes yesterday. Mine did not go crispy but they were very tasty so will definitely try again Thanks for sharing the recipe. I lost 5lbs this week even with the Yorkshire pudding so really pleased

 

[Gemsta]

Hi TDQ... Just try less water next time It can all be down to your oven and which shelf you cook them on, it'll be a bit trial and error to get them crispy, it took me a while to get what I was trying to achieve Plus congrats on the loss this week

i bought plain flour, so can i use this instead of self raising flour, plus it dont mention which oven temprature as i have fan oven. so i assume to be 180'c as standard?

 

[kirsty_baird_26]

You'd need to use baked powder in that case, otherwise it won't rise...maybe 1tsp (0.5 syns)?? But self raising would be best. Yes, 180° should be fine. X

 

[Gemsta]

Had some more sleep after going back to bed with some paracetamol and feel a bit better now thanks Kirsty

 

[Gemsta]

Got my half syn roulade in oven! Looks and smells lovely! Just put my tea in so looking forward to having that later

 

[TDQ]

Sorry you are unwell, take care full of determination fuelled by this mornings weigh in and the thought that is 4 weeks today to my holiday spent nearly £20 at the veg stall on veg, salad and fruit, needed 5 bags to carry it all! Lots of colours too so should be full of the joys of spring when its all been consumed.

 

[Gemsta]

You get so much more for your money at the market. I love it when we go, but by the time Ray get's home on a Friday it after lunch so not that much choice..lol.. It's amazing how a good loss boosts your determination isn't it. Where are you off to on hols? We fly out to Egypt middle of May x
