Ooh that's lovely for you and the children - enjoy it all! I'm impressed with ur super sonic planning too - Gypsy Upndown sees another good WI for u this week in her crystal ball!!xx

Sounds like a plan, Doreen. You're very organised lately! Putting me to shame! How lovely that you'll be able to attend the dance competition AND get to see Flynn too! Loving the haloed angel, by the way! xx

It was so lovely to see all the children dancing. Apart from the ballet, they were all group dances. Faye`s group got 2nd in the first dance, I must say well deserved. Her 2nd dance they came 4th out of 4. It was not the best overall unfortunately. Faye says she don`t mind she just loves doing it.

I could not stay for the last section which was at 4pm because I had to get home before dark as I cannot drive at night because of cateracts.

It was so lovely to have a cuddles with Flynn. Had some time on my own with him while mum helped faye to change for the dances. Lovely hugs with Faye too but not so much as she was dancing. Oh and they did not know I was coming. Nice to surprise them.

I am impressed with my planning too, but left my fruit in the car, the car park was some distance away - I went to the wrong one. I just had a couple of coffees. AH and 6 birts of popcorn.

Great day xx

Glad you enjoyed your day out, Doreen - especially the cuddles! Also glad you arrived home safely, before it turned dark. I hate driving in the dark too and that's without cateracts! I especially hate those really bright white headlights! My daughter has them and says they're safer to drive with. I told her, that might be the case for the driver but I think they're really dangerous for people driving towards them or if they're shining in your rear view mirror! Apologies to anyone who has them! Rant over and just glad you enjoyed your day, Doreen. xx

The syns for Morrisons sugar free jelly Bubble

Its on my sw app. The lemonade ones are 0.5 syns the other flavours arent on there so i input the details and they came up as 0. Judging by the 1syn per 20cal rule the orange are 8 cals so guesz its closer to 0.5syns too but if it tells me 0 thats what im going for.

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Posting my food plan for the day - hope I stick to it - may have more fruit and syns!

b: an egg and a pear - funny combination but went out early - well 8.30 so early for a Sunday for us!
l: French onion soup - made with oil and butter so will count as heb plus 3 syns - worth it! Plus an orange
d: roast ham, jacket potato, petit pois, carrots, cabbage,
2 coffees with ss milk part hea, water, fruit tea, diet cola
syns - 3 - diet sweets thx to clever sugarfairy!!xxx plus 3 for the soup.

That is a funny combination Linda egg and a pear. Strange what we will have when time dictates.
Love the sound of that roast ham. I must treat myself to a small one.
I gotta make some of those sweets too. I have seen them at class on a taster day, but not tried them.

Enjoy the rest of the evening. Docs & dentist for me in the morning.

Yes the roast ham was good - esp cos it was reduced to £2.50 - cos there's 2 of us it'll last a while - will have to think of some ideas! The sweets were very sweet but suited me! Just chilling tonight, hope doc and dentist go well in the morning. xx
