JanD's Maintenance Diary. Into the 2nd year :o)))

You seem to be getting more into it now Jan.

I find it good, because when working (normally, and not getting tempted to drink Smirnoff), I usually dont use slush points, I save them for my days off.
 
Hey Jan
I don't think your eating seems too bad, and for being naughty for a while the 2.6lb gain doesn't seem too much of a disaster.
Your grandson made some classic comments there about the dangers and improvements, it all seems so simple from a child's point of view, if only in was as easy as that the world would be a much better place :)
Sorry to hear about your step-daughter's miscarriage, real shame :( x
 
Thanks Jayne - nice to see you back :)

Yeah - Mary, I seem to be sort of 'slipping' into it don't I? ;) - I'm just a bit concerned with being off now for 2 weeks 49 points aint gonna do it with the alcofrolics ... so I'm not going to say yes I'm doing it but I will count the points and if I can stay within them without feeling deprived I will xx

No Tan, I didnt win those items or others I've bid on subsequently - I'm not prepared to pay through the nose. I HAVE been gathering up points from other people's diaries and working others out myself. The list you sent me is now more than twice as long and I found a list of 'free' fruit and veg as well. If anyone wants any of them let me know xx



 
Saturday 27th November

At Mum's I had a tiny bit of that bread with a scraping of clover again before going shopping .. I'm guessing at 2pp and rightly or wrongly I am having that as the last 2 points from yesterday's allowance. It's confusing when you haven't been to bed yet to know which day the points belong to!!

However I still hadn't been to bed when I began today's allowance when I got home ... ????!!!! Confusing or what? lol :)

Breakie - 2 weetabix (3pp) skimmed milk (1pp) splenda & blueberries

Bed

Tea - Baked river cobbler (2pp) BNS chips (1pp for fry light) green beans

Wine (18pp)

25pps up to now xx

Edit - 2 slices milk roll toasted (2pp) 1 with philli light & 1 with tzatziki (2pp?) =29pp

YAY!!! I'll let you know when we're organised. If we meet earlyish - I don't know - 4ish? Then it shouldn't get too late for you driving back if the weather IS bad. Shame you have to go back to Exeter again though - sorry about that xx
 
Lost 3lbs! :D:D

Monday 29th November

Breakie - 2 weetabix, 1/4pt skimmed milk, splenda & blueberries (4pp)

Lunch - Had to have a sarnie in Tescos as I felt really ill - using the 'divide the calories by 40 for an approximation of the pps' rule it worked out to 7pp

Tea - I had a tub of cottage cheese going out of date so last night I baked a 'quiche' - the 300g tub of cottage cheese (6pp) red onion, mushrooms & 4 eggs (8pp) bunged it in the oven on 180 for about 35 mins (till set basically) I'll probably have about a 3rd of that with veggies (5pp) PLUS 1 for fry light coz we had stir fry in the end

17pps

Prob some v&cs :eek: ... x1 up to now ;) (4pp)

Edit - only had the one - felt too ill :(
Later on I had 2 pieces of milk roll toasted with philli light on 1 & houmus on the other (4pp)

25pps altogether.
