Just catching up on the threads after my week off. So sorry to hear about your Mum Orla, I'll keep you both in my thoughts. It'll be a tough time for you all, but you sound like a strong, close family, which will stand to you. SW might seem a little insignificant at the moment, but having something else to channel your energy and focus into can definitely help.
Congrats on your nomination too.

Thanks for that Miss_Taken, I have over the 4st so it would be nice to win. I'm not going to get my hopes up but after such a horrendous last week this definitely put a smile on my face and I have to say I would like to win (sorry I'm not very humble :ashamed0005 and one other thing is I'm trying to find out who the other nominees are and so far nobody else has been contacted.
Thanks Peachdream, it did me the world of good to get that text.
Niamh, great to see you back, this week the shock has worn off but we are a lot more focused about what needs to be done and all the kind words and prayers that have been said are very welcome and give us a little hope

Good Luck Orla! Today is a good day x
NewMe, I'm doing ok. Finding it hard to get back on track, but did it yesterday and today is looking similar. Following Kay's Salad Challenge... I really enjoy it and it got me a good loss 2 weeks ago. So hoping that will give me a STS this week and a good loss next week.
New recipes really help don't they? It gives you something to look forward to. That's why I batch cook when I can- I fill the freezer with Quorn Taco-mince, turkey curry, turkey fajita and pork with black bean. Every morning I pull out dinner for that day, it's like having a take away every night but with a max of 2 syns

Coughdrops, how do you make your pork and black bean? I'm fishing for new low budget meals that I can batch cook to make life easier x

Ah I use a sachet of the Blue Dragon sauce. They've changed the recipe recently so it's now 7.5 syns for the pack (used to be 6 I think).
Anyway, I stirfry up my pork and a load of chopped peppers and onion, and when it's cooked I add the sachet. I also add some random spices (like garlic Italian!) which don't necessarily "match" the sauce but I like it spiced up.
I'll add a bit of water too, as usually I've a load more veg in the pan than it says on the packet.
Then when it cools I split it into two, so 4 syn per portion. But they are huge portions that I share with DH, so I syn it at 2 per person.
When I reheat it, I serve with a side salad and more chopped peppers/apples. We don't eat much rice/pasta any more.

Thank you all, dont know what it is but I have to say I'm more calmer today and a little happier, I think it may be down to the fact that Mam knows what she is going to do. Have to say I'm beginning to feel a little nervous now, I think they will be crowned at about 6.30pm this evening, I would love to post a picture up here if I'm lucky enough to win (wont get my hopes up)
I have to say I love garlic italian, when my sw chips are almost done in the actifryer, I throw in some spices including garlic italian into the actifryer and the smell is divine
