I would 5 mins from home Wreckon the heavens are gona open fairly soon...
If I were you I'd be going home, put on the pasta n run to the shower (hee hee) fluffy PJ's and socks on, hair left in a towel, eat dinner, go dry hair, and then TV for the night
I have no plans.. Have to go do a load of laundry so think am gona take advantage and do a batch of soup while i'm there (in my Dad's) Then home, dinner, shower, PJ's/bed

Hey hon
Ya I found it hard when I had no cooker last year. But I did ok with my George foreman and microwave. But when I was reading your posts I was wondering what suggestions I had but then I remembered I brought my food to work and cooked up there-bolognaise, stews etc and then froze them. Plus I ate a lot of microwave pasta cos I can eat white.
The thing I missed the most was my homemade chips I must say.
But I did steaks and grilled chicken on George foreman and had them with couscous and salads. But again I was really lucky that when I'm at work I can cook at work so it was only my days off I had to survive at home.

Drove to Waterford today (for no reason) at work and we had the worst hail shower I've seen in years. We wernt sure if they were snow clouds or rain clouds! But seriously they nearly cracked the window! Crazy!!

Haha.... Ya I was the same. I stared buying it in Aldi ready made in the salad section and then went hey, I think I have some packets in the press for ages!! Thought the same-bought then but wasn't sure! But find it great to fill up a salad. I prefer the spicy ones to the lemony ones or vegetable onesbut that's just me. Go on, u know u want to.

Morning all..

Well yesterday I went way over in syns... I had my porridge for brekkie (heB) Slice toast and beans for lunch (4.5 syns) but while I was waiting I had a pack of King (10.5 syns) Fruit for snacks in between.. And baked sole (fish) with steamed baby potatoes and veg! BUt then was really hungry later on and had a bowl of Fibre 1 cereal..Not sure of the syn value of the cereal but I'd already reached my 15 syn allowance I also only managed 750ml of water...
So... I'm starting today differently.. I have my first bottle of water ready to go.. And I'm having scrambled egg for brekkie.. Lunch will be either beans on toast OR mug shot with toast.. So 0 syns and HeB.. Dinner is slow cooker ribs n baby potatoes n steamed veg...
I have a banana and an orange for in between and I've cottage cheese and ryvitas in the cupboard for if I get picky at 3pm... So the only excuse for going off plan today is being a greedy pig.. Lets see how I go xx

Hi hun... Yea am feeling good today.. Positive about having a 100% day anyway...
Skin is really dry n lips all chapped.. Just goes to show how a few off track days affects you in more ways than just weight...
I'm on to my third 750ml bottle of water and currently have a mug of hot water so reached at least 2 litres so far already today... First day in a good while I've drank the RDA of water so pleased with that...

Really busy in work but the day so absolutely DRAGGING.... Weather's much better tho.. Not too cold and a nice light breeze.. Wish I cud pop home to hang out my washing.. I've TONNES of it and nowhere to dry it so it'd have been an ideal day for drying... (feel so old even thinking about my washing!!!!)
