Seons, I will get the proper recipe when I'm at home, but you basically fry off a chicken breast and some chorizo, with a red onion, some garlic and rosemary, add the rice and swish that about for a couple of minutes, add a glass of white wine, simmer for a bit (there's a lot of "for a bit" in it... worth it though!) then add chicken stock a bit at a time til its all creamy looking. Takes about 20 minutes from when you start adding the liquid... Then chuck in a little finely grated cheese, parmesan or something like that, there's one beginning with "G" that I can't remember what it's called, thats good in risotto. Leave it for 5 mins, then serve with heaps of broccoli. I serve everything with heaps of broccoli..
It's originally a Jamie Oliver recipe, I de-fatted it a bit... :) I got a good serving for 8pp I think it was, it's quite rich so you don't need as big a portion as you'd think.!

About the job, I said that yes, I would like to accept the offer, provided they allow for 2 weeks notice, giving me a start date the earliest of 7th Feb. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but we'll see.

WI - down 2 lbs - Over the moon with this. Vowing to not binge in the slightest this week.

My mind is stuck in "worst case scenario" mode in general. I'm sure I'll snap out of it soon enough. I think I feel "glum". Or possibly "blue". Not really sure... I've asked Dad if I can borrow his sat nav and asked Biker if we can go somewhere this weekend, I want to see bears if at all possible..

Food today -
Breakfast - Quorn sausage sarnie (8)
Snack - 2 x WW oat biscuits (2)
Lunch - porridge (5) and cous cous (7). Not mixed together...
Tea - pasta (8)
Dessert - Pancakes (??) and white chocolate sauce (4)

Hope everyone's feeling more cheerful than I am...!x
 
that risotto sounds lovely Jen, thanks for the recipe :) xxx
 
Thank you everyone :)
I won, it looks like it is all systems go for bear spotting tomorrow!!

Feeling pretty quiet, but hope everyone has a pleasant weekend x
 
Thanks Nik :D Glad you liked it!! Haha

To be honest, I don't actually remember going two weeks with a loss at all last year, something has definitely clicked.... hallelujah!

I did it - handed my notice in and start my new job on the 7th Feb :) The boss was ok, she said she was sorry to see me go but understood and had been expecting it for a while.

Half 7 on a Saturday morning..... cripes. I'm off to wake grumpypants by singing "if you go down to the woods today".....

Because....

TODAYS THE DAY THE TEDDYBEARS HAVE THEIR PICNIC!!!

:D x
 
Nothing Kals loves more than a singalong

Picnic time for everyone ( gets louder & louder ) those little teddy bears are having a wonderful time today see them catch them unaware
Warble, warble, warble.

Ps why wasn't I privvy to this HQ malarky then ? ;) favourtism huh huh!!
 
Haha, I only have one favourite, Kals, and that is Team Fabulous. So nyer. It's the whole damn lot of you !!!

:)

It was a nice day, we saw the bears, and there were also lemurs (my favourite!), otters, bats, owls, peacocks, wolves and stuff. And there was a snowy owl which had just been fed, it was fascinating watching it eat, I was amazed..
Then we went into Dundee and had a womble around the shops. Got scared by some woman in a shop shouting about dandelion and burdock... Biker said "Is she drunk or just weird" which made me almost collapse in stitches...
We had a Subway for lunch, because I caught a whiff of Marinara sauce drifting through the shopping centre and put my foot down... hah. 14 points and worth it, it was delicious! And half a cookie each - impressed with my restraint? I was..!

Got back to the car and that's when I started to feel funny... I ended up sleeping all the way home, woke up to eat a chinese takeaway, and then dozed off again. I slept right through til Hollyoaks-o-clock, and then dozed til tea time, when I had to head home. I've had some tea and now I'm ready to sleep again. I dunno what's wrong, I never sleep, let alone like that...

So I'm off to bed shortly. Will stick on a DVD and get a cuppa, some cheese on toast and get my PJs on.

There was one thing that could be percieved as pink & fluffy this weekend. Last week sometime, Biker mentioned he was considering a job that was advertised at work. A global role. Which means lots of travelling. And relocation somewhere abroad. This has left me feeling pretty low most of the week, kinda took the wind out of my sails with my good news, thinking that he was gonna leave me. But friday he said he probably wouldn't go for it, and when I asked why, what did he have to lose, he just said "you".

To which I got up to make a cuppa tea before I started crying...
 
I think I was dehydrated or something as simple as that... I feel loads better now :)

Breakfast today was a toasted bagel with smoked salmon and philly. Mmmmmmm yummy :)

Lunch is a buffet at work. So tea will be something simple & low point. Fun times...

Good day to you all! X
 
hiya hun!

Hope your alright sound like you had an amazing time! i love the otters!!!!! :D :D just something about the way they look at you as if you say 'i may be small but i mean business!' haha :p Hope you took piccies :p seen a few on fb! need to check out more :D

Cheers Smirk :)
Just a quickie... I planned a Burns Night supper for me and Biker, but he has to work, so I feel pretty disheartened. Stupid really, it's not like he's stood me up, but you know what I am like for events... :p

Im a bit concerned for my head at the moment. I went to Tescos on the way home yesterday and did my weekly shop.
Then today on the way home from work, I stopped at Tescos and did my weekly shop.

Seriously, I have more food than you can shake a stick at. :|
Might have to do SW this week :p haha

Anyway, fajitas for tea... Yummy yum yum! Think I could be a bit over for points today but I was 22 under yesterday, so it'll be ok.

In the frame of mind where I don't actually care about points today. I just want to curl up and eat chocolate til it comes out my ears!

I want a stir fry for tea tomorrow. Or Hunters Chicken. Mmmm!
 
A belated congrats on the new job Jen, hope it will be just what you need.

BB can be a right old softie sometimes, a lovely thing to say, well deserved mind you.

So whats with the double shop then, you really forget or just a cunning ploy to get some more grub in? Have a fab week you xxx

God I love fajitas - one of the only 'normal' things I can usually squeeze into points. Soooooo good!

Hope you're having a good day Jen. What is Hunters chicken btw? I see the term used a lot but no idea what it is! <off to find google>

Shame about Burns Night Dinner - I wanted to do something and then realised that haggis is devil food (pointage-wise) so will have to wait til next year instead!
