JanD into the third year of maintenance :-D

[kered]

Hahahaaa, love the biccy pinching - girl after my own heart - also the shower cap, shampoo, etc etc.........lol.

Sounds like you are enjoying your road trip. Ikwym about having paid for breakfast. I used to feel the same but have shifted away from it. I now take the view that just cos its there does not mean i have to eat it. Instead i have some fruit and yoghurt followed by a bowl of porridge( they usually make it if asked), or a little scrambled egg, coffee and one slice wm bread. So it's still more than I'd eat at home but I feel the better for avoiding the stodge.
Enjoy your evening. I'm sure food will be as good as the company.

 

[summergurl]

Know exactly what you mean by the fry up!! What is it about holidays that when in a hotel etc we have to have it?! :giggle:

I'm with Mary - I woulda taken the showercap, shampoo etc

Have a lovely evening tonight xx

 

[Zenaworrier]

Loving all your little updates Jan! Hope your having a wonderful time. Are you enjoying Cornwall? I miss it

 

[JanD]

Oh I love Cormwall. Have left it behind now though - am in services on the M4 en route to my cousin's in High Wycombe.

Molly - you really are too good to be true

I couldn't 'pinch' anything other than the biccies and a few sachets of coffee coz all there was was a little tiny bar of soap which I had to use. Good job I had a shower cap (from a previous hotel ) in my toilet bag

Food has been BAAAD!

Tea on tuesday was chicken salad and we had wine but when i went to bed I ate 2 of the pkts of biccies. 3 custard creams and 3 bourbon

Yesterday (wed) I had Mousse for breakie, bar for lunch and then we went to Boscastle and we shared a cream tea so only 1 scone (only!) jam and clotted cream.

In the evening we went to a beautiful pub overlooking the sea and i had pasty & chips (I was in Cornwall, it was my duty!) The sunset was glorious!
More wine was imbibed and i had the other weeto bar when i went to bed.

This morning I had a mousse for breakie ... then I had a bacon roll when I stopped before and I've just had a bar for lunch.

I THINK we're having salmon salad for tea but i know wine will be imbibed as we put the world and several of our odd relatives to rights .

Must dash anyway or they'll think I'm never getting there. may pinch some of their wifi later if poss ... hope you're all having a good day. xx

 

[summergurl]

Sounds like you're having a lovely time Jan! and you are defo right, you cannot come to this neck of the woods and not have a pasty, it's like an unwritten law!!!!

Have a safe journey x

 

[irish molly]

Glad to hear you are having a fab time. Drive safely.

 

[JanD]

Twas indeed salmon salad for tea but it did have avacado, coleslaw & grated cheese in it ... nice though

Molly - glad to see you didn't take offence at my earlier comment, I've been a bit concerned this afternoon that you could have xx

 

[irish molly]

Good to see you enjoyed your meal. See, you can go away for a break and enjoy it without tons of stodge. And, feel the better for it.
Re the comment, I just maintain my losses,within my ten pound range, the way that works for me. Because of GL friendly options I get to do it without feeling I diet or a desire for any foods that I once stuffed my face with. So no, no offence taken as it can be that good for anyone IMHO.
Safe home xx

 

[JanD]

Well we've had a lovely day mooching around the shops and putting the world to rights.

Foodwise??

Breakie - banana mousse

Lunch - tesco bar

Starving when got back so had an M&S lemon mousse (90cals) before opening the wine. Shared a bottle before we went out.

Out had mediteranean roasted veg with halloumi & mayo

LOADSA WINE!! XX
