It's one of many I knitted.

I have done my weeks shopping so now I don't have to enter a shop until next Friday. But I have to stop myself from just going to have a look.

Good day there but I fancy a jam tart ans SW chips now

The jam tart was offered to me by the waitress at the cafe. Thought yea have a great. Very small but worth the syns.

I think I have mastered the chips now. Put in a saucepan of boiling water over gas. Take out and dry after 4 mins

Bingeing is a very hard habit to break and in times of stress it's so easy to turn to food for comfort. You've got a lot of upset and worry at the mo Linda so it's not surprising that you've had a few blips. Overall you're doing so well anyway. I'll be thinking of you both today. These are very hard times for you xx

Went to co-op this afternoon. Got what I wanted but then bought a small loaf as Nik is always hungry if he comes here on Monday. He loves beans on toast. I hope I don't regret it as I am not too good with bread.
Not only that but they had some pancakes reduced. Checked it when I got home and they are 4 syns each. I had one with a yogurt, not worth it.
I will give them to Nik and he can take them home for the children. They like them with ice cream.
Been fancying some cider so bought one can .... 9 syns. Having sausages tonight 4 syns. Gravy 2 syns. Mmm. 10 without the cider. Looks like it will have to be half a can of cider. That's ok have done it before.

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Lots to do so here is the food planned for today

B. 3 eggs scrambled with 5g cheese 1syn and Baby toms.
L. Pancake. 4 syns and Muller yogurt
D. 4 sausages 4syns. Cabbage. Onions. 300g mashed spud. Gravy grans 2syns

Maybe that half can cider 4.1/2syns.

Total will be 14.1/2. Gosh cannot remember having that many for a while.

Hope everyone having a good day x

 

[Cavegirl21]

How good are you only having 1/2 a can of cider.

I've not had to step inside a shop today even thou I have run out of sugar. It will have to wait until Friday when I do my weeks shop.

He/She's very cute - do you have a large collection of 'fluffies' or do you make them for others?

I don't like shopping - would you like to do mine so I plan the week's meals and buy it all in one go and tough on me if I forget something when I was working I used to shop online but since we retired we don't like to plan trips out etc - so it's a pain to have to stay in just to wait for food delivery!

 

[Cavegirl21]

I hate shopping. When I was ill I had it delivered for 2 years. But I did miss not see'ing the bargains.
I am tempted to go to b&m today as their old stock is down to .10p and £1. I have the app on my phone so scan as I go I can see the real price as they don't always mark them down. A sunny day here so I could also go for a walk along the sea front.

Yes while deliveries are handy but as you say we miss the bargains! Plus sometimes I get bored of the same old stuff and need a boring walk around the supermarket for food inspiration. B&M is a good shop but I have to be careful in there as I'm tempted by the crisps, savouries & biscuits - in fact anything with high fat/sugar/calories!!

The other is still in the fridge

Well done Doreen - you've obviously got your dieting head on now - keep it on till Friday at least

I GAVE NIK THE PANCAKES TO TAKE HOME. HE WAD NOT HUNGRY THIS WEEK (TYPICAL) SO I GAVE HIM THE LOAF TOO.

Well done there - sometimes it's hard to give nice stuff away! xx

Another good day in the bag Doreen - keep going only 2 more days before you'll be on those scales!

A while back I bought a pack of biscuits from b&m which came in twos. I thought ideal when I fancy some but don't want to eat the whole packet. How wrong was I If I remember right the pack lasted two days.

 

[upndown]

I'd have been exactly the same Mary! Biscuits are barely allowed over the threshold here - they're more addictive than Class A drugs

 

[upndown]

Hope everyone's having an on plan day?

Went for a 1.5 hour walk along the coast this morning clear blue sky but a bit cool of course - lots of people about.

Can't remember if I mentioned my MiL is very poorly in hospital - she was going to be transferred to another hospital yesterday but when the nurses helped her out of the bed she collapsed - so she's staying at the same hospital at least for a short while now.

Having a go at an SP day today - here's the plan:

Brunch: Bread roll HEB x 2, 20g cheese part HEA, large salad no dressing
D: lamb steak, mint sauce more salad, meringue 2.5 syns, speed fruit salad
Fruit teas, water, maybe a coffee with rest of HEA

Might make a speedy soup if I'm hungry later. x
