Can somebody please tell me why I thought buying 2 Whole Swedes (The Vegetables not the people lol) for 9p each was such a good idea! My shoulder is really not loving the bargain :-( x

Those chickpeas sound yummy. Wonder if they have them over here? I know I look for flavoured balsamic vinegar cos my sister was talking bout them (the sister in Manchester) but no joy. Will have a look for the chickpeas when I get a chance.

And ya-we had stew for dinner at work today and I map cursing the turnip a lot!

Good Evening Sweeties

So to take my mind off everything from today I have thrown myself into being a Prep Chef this evening...

Prepped all this ready for Din Dins for the next 2 nights...



Prepped the Remaining Swede to be Steamed and Mashed and Frozen...



Best of all it took my mind off everything and saves me a job for tomorrow! X

It is indeed Holland & Barrett Isn't it funny how a piece of good luck is followed by some bad luck! Yesterday I filled in the dreaded form Today I get the bad news :-( Today I found a Linen Blazer for £1 (something I wanted for ages too!) and then I cut my leg open on my car :-( Maybe I'm not so lucky after all lol x

Aw no hon. Your leg OK?
Linen blazer does sound good tho.
Ya we have Holland and Barrett-just don't seem to have the large range of everything here like they do in UK. x

Fingers crossed they have the chickpeas There's also a Sweet Thai Chilli Flavour but firstly it wasn't reduced and secondly I don't like sweet and savoury.

Leg is ok, will probably just take a while to heal, least it shouldn't get infected with all the antibiotics I take lol. I'm loving my Linen Blazer, I also got a Brand New Zara Cardigan for £1, not as keen on that but Zara and £1 I had to buy it lol. X

Finally sat down for the first time today and enjoyed my 3 Special Chocolates, isn't it funny how your mindset changes. Pre-WW I would of eaten the whole Box of chocs and not given it a second thought, tonight I'm happy with just 3 and feel totally satisfied. X

My phone is being daft and won't let me reply with quotes, so gonna day as much as I can remember.Sorry to hear about the hospital appointment. Hopefully you'll get it sorted soon. When you were talking about putting up pics in the same post as the hospital information, I was starting to wonder what kind of pics you were planning on posting haha. Bad news about the leg, good news about the clothes though.Did you get your blazer in tesco? As for Zara, I don't think we've got one here. Might have to find out and take a nosey. Zara for £1 is a bargain. Can't remember what else I was gonna comment on. Probs about your amazing daily step counts you've got going on ATM. Well done. Go you!

Silly Phone! I got the bits in a Vintage (aka Charity Shop) I'm not ashamed to admit I go in them, never know what you're gonna find! I will hopefully have earned 17AP in 5 Days by the time I go to bed tonight, not too bad considering I've not even done Leslie in those days! X

 

[BoS83]

You're doing great. Aps and your restraint with chocs. Were they yummy?
And there's no reason to care about charity shops. I used to love the ones in Australia-they were so so good. Got whole wardrobe while I lived there. I'd go to them all the time aswel except they're just not that great around here. x

You've done brilliantly points wise this week.

And I love charity shops too.
Love buying books and jigsaws and stuff.
Used to wear clothes from there all the time, but I usually go primark these days as they're just as cheap.

My favourite is EACH - East Anglia Children's Hospice. Reasonable prices, good stuff and it's patron is the Duchess of Cambridge herself - Kate Middleton.

The ones around here vary greatly but I've had some AMAZING finds! A few examples...A Jane Norman Jacket for £5, Brand New Next Skinny Jeans for £3.99, Joseph Joseph Kitchen Strainer for 50p! The Chocs were yummy but I have no desire to eat any more, just savoured every mouthful of those if that makes sense?!? Do u ow something though? I still have a really bad feeling about WI :-( I know I tracked everything at the Wedding but my Tummy definitely isn't right this week :-( x

I don't find the stuff in Primark fits me too well for some reason :-( I do love my Fake Cath Kidston Rain Mac that I got last week tho! I might go on a Minimins/Vintage Road Trip! X

You make me so jealous being so on track!!!

 

[Shez__x]

i think primark material is crap! indont tend to buy clothes from there because a size 12 makes me a size 14 there or even a 16 in some cases just to feel comfortable in the item which i refuse to buy! even though it makes me feel fat and depressed i do know the material is crap and the sizes are weird!!!!!
i only tend to buy bags/accessories and underwear from primark!

Don't have a poundland here and I've not seen them in Asda
