Its from the taste of asia book, so easy but good lordy its beaut! Its 1 syn a portion, but we half all the ingredients apart from coconut milk so have it for 2 syns a portion (as we only cook it for the 2 of us!) Its one of my favs and the boy (to quote) "one of the best curries i've ever had" if you want the recipe hun just gimme a shout and I'll pm it when I get home. Honestly, its crazy easy.
I'm making kedgeree tomorrow, too excited! Love the stuff.
Have a great day too, and loving the positive post on your diary just now

I was going to say the same as Ging!! You're down 5/7 portions of fruit/veg a day and it's not even mid-morning - superstar, you're going to live forever!!
Awesome shopping plan right there Minks, I had the campfire stew for the first time last weekend and oh..my..goddd, amazing! Defo does not feel like a healthy eating plan sometimes!
Hope London treats you well, it looks like you've definitely got the tea/coffee situ covered anyway... xx

Thanks hun, still a loooonng way to go, but I'm plodding along nicely!
WOW @ the early morning gym session. I've just joined this week and can't imagine having the will power to go at that time on a Monday! Well done on your C25k, how are you finding it? I'm thinking about giving it a go myself, but don't know whether I should wait till I'm lighter with less pressure on my joints! x
I agree with Donna, Bev. There is no reason why you shouldn't start the gym now. As long as you don't go too crazy like trying to run on a treadmill, because that is too much pressure, I should know, I have a really bad ankle because I started running at a heavy weight, but then that could just be my bad luck. I think walking on a slight incline on a treadmill or cross trainer, rower and bike are all things that could help you - in fact I am going to take my own advice and start doing it too! Just don't go too crazy and remember to cool down afterwards!!!! Another nugget of advice I should heed. I have been in pain for a month because I pulled a muscle in my hip, it would have been a lot easier to deal with if I had stretched afterwards!

Yeah? I work practically ON liverpool street which is just a few stops from Stratford - do you have any time at lunch to hook up? I seem to recall you leave quite early on London days tho.

I would be able to for sure just need to make sure that the guy who comes in to 'take over' gets in on time so I can leave on time. Today for example i'm just heading back to London bridge because of issues to discuss etc. Or could always do Thursday after work so I could stay late (read that as 'and shop at westfield'). Let me know! Xx

I can't do this Thursday, but maybe lets do a lunch next week if you are working then? I love the Caribbean food stand, I can't remember the name, but I always do there for my curry goat!
