Thanks so excited for this weekend, taking my little princess and 2 of her friends to see Disney on ice! Its a surprise, shes gonna freak! Bought her a Belle from beauty and the beast dressing up costume but its too big so off to swap it for a bigger one which is a nightmare as the disney store is 40 min drive away and I was only there yesterday! Never mind, another excuse for shopping hehe!
Hope you have a nice weekend too xx

Yeah she was excited just at the dress...little girls are sooo much fun as they get older, shes into pink dresses disney princesses etc I love it, makes me feel like a kid myself again! Were off shopping soon and shes already been in to me and asked if her outfit matches lol!
We took my son to lego land last night for his birthday and it was hell, a bunch of 5 yr old boys shouting, fighting, swearing (!!) Not my boy, another child...was horrified and had to shout at him a few times....the girls on Sunday is going to be a walk in the park, even my husband has said the same, boys are wild! X

Ugh 1lb on this morning
AF reared her ugly head yesterday, also had mcdonalds, strawberry milkshake, strawberries and marshmellowa dipped in choc last night thennn this morning I've ate a huge bag of giant chocolate buttons all to myself....someone come sow my mouth shut!!
Middle childs 5th birthday today so my mum and dad doing him a birthday tea of sandwiches, sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, cadbury fingers, cake etc etc ... fail fail fail.
I know I will stuff my face later too, just gonna go for it. Back on track Tuesday and 100% with limit of 5 syns and im probably gonna make lots of soup and try damage limit..
I hate October/November/December.... so many birthdays and events coming up....eldest birthday on halloween, then bonfire night, my dads birthday 8th November, my nephews birthday 28th November, other nephew 10th December....then Christmas. Feeling very negative about losing weight, need to give my head a good wobble and resist naughty foods!! Im guessing my mood is due to AF? Hopefully will snap out of it and able to get back on track, i had such a good week last week Mon-Fri!

Hi Rosie!
I followed this one; Syns per serving : Extra Easy & Green FREE
Add 6 syns if not using the Red Leicester as a Healthy Extra
300g dried macaroni
fry light
6 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic gloves, finely chopped
200g cherry tomatoes, halved
400ml vegetable stock
4 tbsp tomato puree
200g fat free natural yogurt
1 level tsp english mustard
2 eggs, lightly beaten
120g red leicester, grated (healthly extra or 6 syns per portion)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1. preheat your oven to 200c or fan oven 180c/gas mark 6
2. Cook the macaroni as per the instructions on the packet, drain & set aside
3. spray frying pan with frylight: add spring onions, garlic, cherry tomatoes, stir & cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bow and add the cooked macaroni.
4. beat together the stock,tomato puree, yogurt, mustard & eggs until smooth. Pour over the macaroni, then stir in most of the cheese. Season and toss well.
5. Divide between 4 shallow individual overproof dishes, sprinkle over the remaining cheese and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until bubbling.
Leave to stand for 5 minutes then, serve with salad or mixed vegetables
I think I may of put 300ml yoghurt in tp rather than 200ml lol....kids ate it bless them and said they liked the pasta but wasnt too keen on the sauce, they still ate it though, such good little eaters lol(they are 5 and 6) Husband described it as tarty haha. Youngest (16 months) demolished it!!!

Ah that sounds like the same recipe I use except fromage frais in place of natural yoghurt! It doesnt have that runny consistency or that 'tarty' flavour haha.
Lol 300ml might not have helped. Bless the kids that's good that they aren't fussy eaters! It's something I worry about in the future- I think good eating habits need to be from the start but can imagine it will be hard if kids won't eat the healthy stuff. I'm also a bit of a feeder lol :-/ x

Sorry to hear the Mac n Cheese didn't go down well. It's a favourite recipe in our house but it's not I everyone's taste especially when Mac n Cheese is all cheese! xxx
