oooh i forgot to tell you about my bargain i got this morning from my fruit man. he had some veg today out of the blue and I got three decent sized BNS for £1!!! So chuffed with that as they can be £1.50 each in sainsburys sometimes. I shall be doing some new recipes over the weekend with this.
I printed out two from the slimming eats website - curried chicken and BNS soup and chicken, leek and BNS bake. both look yummy so i shall be making those - and also chucking a three bean chilli in the slow cooker. This should mean that lunches are sorted for the week with chilli and soup

oh that was a bargain!
and if you get those recipes made then it'll help, as you say, sort you out for meals/lunches at work
i'm doing red today now i think, had fruit salad with yog and an alpen (again), chicken subway salad with boiled egg too and might make big mac in a bowl for dinner with the mince....not sure i fancy that for dinner but it's quick and easy.
so it's red for the day with a HEB left...unless i decide to carb up at dinner time and in that case it'll be EE...love it when a plan comes together lol
i like that slimming eats website, i've seen a coronation chicken thing in baked potato and always think mmmm i'm gonna make that but there are lots of yummy looking recipes eh x

Yeah I think it's a great website. I always go there when I have an ingredient that needs using up if I have no inspiration.
Bf has called and told me he is cooking and he has dug out a recipe but don't know what I was allowed today lol. The only thing he needed to check was butter so I told him to just check how much and it turns out it will only be 2 syns worry for my portion so happy days!!

what's he making....is it a surprise?
bless him for cooking for you and double checking that you "can have it"
i've just had my dinner which was big mac in a bowl. it was nice and seeing as i'm not officially staying on red for the day, i still have 1 HEb to use...yaaaas!
it's not like me to have used both a's but with cheese on the salad & with dinner, they're used up wisely
lots of fruit and salad for me today...never a bad thing. but i have used a few syns already (on salad dressing and DIY thousand island dressing) but at least they were on better choices than chocolate mini bites lol x

Lol. Very true - we have both fallen foul of sweet things this week haven't we?!
Dinner was salad and spicy fish! When I saw spicy - I mean I had to have coleslaw with mine as it was way too spicy lol! Dammit that's more syns I didn't need to use. At this rate Sunday will have to be totally syn free!!!!!

lol, i bet you didn't even have that much?
e/l mayo is handy to have when something's too nippy...i've been using a jar i got from aldi and i haven't noticed any difference (although i think the e/l stuff is tasteless compared to the light...and of course the delicious full fat stuff lol) x

11 syns is not bad I have had 7 so far today on a Mars ice cream to cheer me up after my car failed its MOT! Luckily my dad is in the trade so it's all fixed now and I got a massive discount!
It did take the whole morning though so I haven't done as much at home as I would have liked. I've stuck a 3 bean chilli in the slow cooker and just left it so all I have to do is portion it up later on. I'm having half an hours rest now then I need to get dinner on (chicken and BNS bake) and clean the bathroom as I have people Over later!
God I need a lie in tomorrow!!
How's your day been!?

oh what did it fail for?
cars are great...when they're not costing money and lets face it, with the price of fuel just now, they're costing everyone!
my day's been ok thanks, nipped out for a few bits and pieces and now waiting about as my OH's away for a sleep so i'm not wanting to go up to get ready just now in case i waken him. he's been doing overtime all week so needs it...and it's better that he's asleep now rather than the minute he sits on the couch later lol.
we were meant to be going for a meal then out with friends tonight but everyone's cancelled so my OH suggested that us two still go....at least for a meal.
wasn't too fussed as not going will save us money but we've not done anything like that for ages and it would be nice, but will wait and see what he says once he's up.
so if we go out it'll probably be chinese and if not, i have a pack of chicken there that i got today which i haven't put in the freezer yet.
went to aldi and seemed to not get very much for £32 compared to normal.
when the guy said £32 i thought i'd misheard him but i hadn't...i even checked my recipt cos i thought no way was that all £32...but it was
do you have an airfryer?
i keep seeing people mention them on here and they sound fab. they make people's chips look mega! lol x

It seems like it failed on everything lol. Heap of junk!!! It needed a new wheel, new tyre, new drop links (whatever they are!?!?), new bulbs and the exhaust had a hole in
Luckily I have an amazing dad who works in the motor trade. He called in tons of favours and it's all fixed now....and only £80 in total!! So I had a few boxes of thank you choc to buy and a lovely bottle of vino for my dad very relieved as it should have cost three times that!!
No I haven't got an actifry but I read lots about them on here. Seems too good to be true?! Are you thinking of getting one?! I love my SW chips just the way they are tbh - plus I only have a tiny kitchen so no idea where I would put it lol.
Aww your evening sounds lovely - hope you do go out as it's a nice change for you to go out! And I'm jealous of your Chinese what you gonna have?!
My chicken and BNS bake is in the oven and nearly done. Just waiting for bf to come back from the shops so we can eat! I've made some extra veg to go with it as well

great news on the car...that was REALLY lucky like you say.
phew...sigh of relief eh...!
i was thinking about getting one (although if my OH presents me with one at xmas i wouldn't be amused lol) but like you, i'm not sure where it would go.
i like the chips too and it's just part of the routine preparing them and never seems like a chore.
we're gonna go to the chinese, it's been decided and i'll be having a wee bit of everything i think seeing as it's buffet.
salad will be included but i'm not stressing...i'll have what i have and take the consequences on monday (which is due to be gain week anyway lol) but like you say, i never really do anything and sometimes i feel that that's because i don't want to stray from plan.
good in a sense but life goes on too and i can't ever eat the way i'd want to there anyway lol
hope your OH isn't too much longer so you can eat....you'll need to let me know how it was x

that looks good!
we did have a nice time...but ate far to much of the stodgy stuff so really paying for it lol.
it's so strange to taste the oily stuff (ie starters) and recognise that they're not even really that nice...let's face it, we don't really have much fattening stuff on this do we?
i don't usually do desserts but we sat that long having a gab that we shared some cake and ice cream....so massive bloat due and water retention from the bad stuff but know what, i had a nice night with my fella and that's that!
what have you used your HEb's on today if you've gone red and managed 2? x

You up to much?!
