Help needed for 1st day......

I think us women sometimes make a rod for our own backs. I've been really good at tidying and cleaning in the evenings so that I don't have to spend a whole weekend doing washing up and cleaning but the result is that if bf agrees to wash up, I want it done before I go to bed in case he doesn't actually do it. Which ends up with me doing it myself!! :)

Food today is a nice salad for lunch with some mini ryvita for a bit of crunch as a hexb. Dinner is herb crusted lamb and roasted veg. How about your menu?
 
yep...we certainly do...and maybe i'm just a bit pmt'd and that's why it's bugging me more this week?
he'd be mortified if he knew how i was feeling...but would also go straight into defence mechanism hence the reason it would cause an argument!

anyway, food was rice with yog and berries this morning, egg mayo and tomato sandwich for lunch (forgot to salt it and it needed it so wasn't as epic as i'd hoped lol) and gonna make quorn chilli pasta bake i think for dinner. enjoyed it the last time when i used my HEa cheese so think i'll do that!

it's freezing here today...dunno if snow is finally going to make an appearance!?

how's your day been?x

sounds yummy...i always think 1/2 HEb worth of potato is more than we'd think? made egg mayo with tomato sandwich...looking forward to it ;) just watched The Following from last night...considering going to be this early cos i'm knackered. but i also feel i'm borderline causing an argument with my OH which, would let me get things off my chest but don't want to fight and i wouldn't be able to say what i want without him taking things to heart. i just don't think they realise what we do for them sometimes and i don't think there's any badness meant....but it's annoying me a bit recently :( x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I know exactly what you mean about OH. I love him to death but he has no idea how much I do around the house and stuff. When he cleans the bathroom if I'm working at weekend he tells me like he wants a medal! I do this all the bloody time! He doesn't mean any malice or nastiness but I feel under appreciated a lot x
 
I hear you both about defence mode and medals (I'm sure lots of other women do also). I'm not sure I would let bf clean the bathroom instead of me as there is no way it will be up to my standards pmsl. He is good at going the washing and sweeping the living room floor so I'll leave him with that lol.

I'm having a hungry day today but have stuck to plan. I've used 7 syns and need 4 for dinner so no treats for me tonight :) will have to make do with a yoghurt if I do want something :)

Been meaning to ask - are the quorn chicken pieces free do you know? You have them right??
 
yeah, they're free on all plans. i have them and i must say, i got the fridge chilled ones the other day and thought they didn't taste as nice as the frozen ones?

not everyone likes them but they're ideal for me on a green day :)

i see a lot of people having the quorn chicken nuggets (think they're half each) but i haven't tried them yet.

i just had the quorn chilli with pasta and baked it in the oven topped with my HEa cheese...was yummy!

i've only used 0.5 syns today so will need to get thinking what goodies i can have later ;) x

Ooh saw the pic of your pasta bake- looks amazing! Did you cook chilli and pasta first then shove it in oven to melt cheese? X
 
i had made the quorn chilli a while ago and frozen a few portions, took that out the freezer last night and heated it through while the pasta was cooking. mixed it all together with a little cheese then put it in the dish, topped it with the rest of my cheese and cooked in the oven until the cheese had melted...everything's so much better with cheese lol! x

Ooh lots of goodies in store for you miss k! I manages to shave a syn off my dinner by using less breadcrumbs so I have 5 left and can have a treat with a cuppa once I'm out of the bath.

Dinner turned out pretty tasty. I decided to syn some oil and make a marinade for some roasted veg with some balsamic and Harissa paste and it turned out really well :)

Kitchen is cleaned, washing up done and I am well due a soak!

What you spending you syns on hun!?
 
It's really nice on things like chicken and fish (not that you eat a lot of fish lol). It's a thick paste and you don't need that much of it for a little bit of flavour. It's like a mix of chilli and paprika sort if flavours.

I also love it on roasted vegetables - it makes them a bit more interesting than just plain :)
 
Hmmm I might pick some up...is it really nippy or ok if you just use a teeny wee bit?
How many syns is it?

Meant to ask you yesterday, when you working in the butchers again?x

It isn't too strong for me but I have just a high tolerance for spicy things these days. I would recommend just getting a pastry brush and brush a little bit over some chicken to work out how much is the right amount for you. It comes in a really little jar (bit like the size of a baby food jar I suppose) and lasts for absolutely ages.

I get the tesco own brand one and even once the jar is open it keeps well as the lid is a proper sealing lid to keep it fresh. Last I checked it was 1 syn per tablespoon but I looked again yesterday and it said syn free. I'll check online hun and let you know.

I start doing one Saturday in 3 from February but I'm not sure which date exactly lol. Looking forward to getting a few nice bits of meat for the freezer though :) EE for me today. What's your plan?
 
meat for the freezer and extra cash...win win!
i'm looking for something else too - for evenings/weekends but haven't been successful in finding anything so far, even if i could get somewhere one day a week would give me a wee bit extra but people are looking for set hrs and i'm pretty tied to routine for now! lol

prob EE or red today...i've taken mince out but haven't really planned as such yet...will get my thinking cap on then decide :)

what you eating today?x

Hey chick. Hope you're ok and you're feeling better...sometimes a good cry helps things! Xx
 
well done for ur great day 2day - here's hoping we all have a gd week!

Glad u have support from OH and Mum - u've done so well and it is tough - and sounds as if ur back on track - take carex
 
Hey hun. Sorry it all got on top of you :( hopefully a good cry and chat with OH has left you feeling better and cleared the air!?

And brilliant you had a good day today. Don't beat yourself up about the iffy days - just carry on as you always do!!

I've had a good weekend food wise - checked my diary for the week and I haven't gone over syns so really hoping for a loss this week. Have also stuck at doing the shred so still on track with that!

Will be annoyed if I have another STS or a gain tomorrow morning but have to wait and see. Feeling a bit nervous about it really!!
 
How did WI go? Surely shred has done it's thing this week??

So tired this morning and I'm out and about this morning before I do any cooking. Also have the dentist today too so usual routine is gonna be a bit all over the place...but will get there :)

What you got on the menu today?
Fingers crossed you saw the result you wanted this morning x
