hey MC, I can't tell you how much I love reading about your food it looks yummy. could you post the method and ingredients for the Swiss roll if you have a moment? I would love to make it I think I will use wholly cream too.

Just seen you had some for breakfast that would do me with a coffee for breakfast

I was about to ask for the recipe for the swiss roll too- especially as you said it isn't "eggy", which I worry about with some of the SW recipes!

Thanks so much MC. You are a star. Just a couple of questions for you what type of flower do you use? I can't wait to make this!

 

[MelonCollie]

Normal plain flour I'm guessing it would poof too much with self raising lol

 

[MelonCollie]

Swiss rolls went down a treat.. empty box to take home!
I also found out that someone put my name down for woman of the year, despite me not winning. I was shocked haha! Fingers crossed for me getting it next year. I hope to be at least 8st down by then!

pound off this week but * week is still here and I can feel it, so I'm happy I lost anything. I also didn't wee haha. Hoping for a good loss next week to make up for it.

here's pics of rolling the swiss roll.. Typically I didn't take a photo of the finished product lol.

 

[NewMe14]

Well done on the loss hun. That is fantastic especially with star week. Congrats on been nominated for woman of the year. Your group sounds like a lovely bunch of slimming worldlers! did you try anything nice that anyone else made? Did they like your Swiss roll?

 

[MelonCollie]

Oops never pressed reply lol..

they loved it! I was very happy lol.

todays food :

B: swiss roll and strawberries

L: nothing

D: tasters at SW, pulled pork.

Next to no super free today. Going to eat loads for the next few days though Just wasn't that hungry!

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Not a lot of food in general today MC! Although understandable if star week usually messes witg you appetite

Congratulations on the nomination! Thats brilliant! I feel so proud of you even though I barely know you! Odd how a joint goal of slimming can bring people together!!

 

[MelonCollie]

Aww Thanks, making me blush!

Woke up at 4am and had to run to the loo to puke my guts out near enough. Urgh. Guess I know why I didn't feel like eating, now!

Nervous day today because a closer friend is getting induced early due to high blood pressure. I know it can take 48h but I worry about her lol. Can't wait to meet him though
On call as well in case it fully starts when her partner is at work haha. Hopefully he is born leading on to Saturday and then he can have his days off before maternity leave Haha

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Good luck to your friend!

I was induced with my little boy (he was overdue!) They start off slow but when the contractions start it is intense! They say it hurts more because your body skips pre - labour with the practice contractions and just gets to the real thing!!

 

[MelonCollie]

eep!
I just spoke with her and doctors have moved it back a week. (and it was high blood sugar not pressure lol) because that's when she was first supposed to be induced. She'll be nearly 10 months by then!!

Had a mini twister (2 according to app?) for breakfast and feeling a fair bit better so may have a bowl of fruit soon.

btw there should be a voucher in the sun for a £5 off £10 meat spend in morrisons tomorrow x

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Hope you are feeling better this evening MC.

 

[MelonCollie]

Was so and so. Feel much better this morning though.
Yesterday I used up all 15 of my syns mini twisters, pops and a bit of a kebab.
Had some pasta for lunch and the veg and 2 pieces of chicken off a shish kebab. Probably gunna finish it today lol.

Going to be productive today and chop up more carpet ready for the tip on Saturday. It shall help with body magic lol

Hope you're well? X
