It was a good day. We enjoyed our breakfast together. We don`t get much time together.
Enjoyed my food today. Trying to sort out for tomorrow. Chicken and Chirizo sausage in the plan somewhere. Looking to a red day so can have little more cheese.
Put some new plants in the garden. That`s my body magic for the day.

 

[Clapper&Ham]

I do like reading your posts, you inspire me to get organised.
I've been in the garden too, I put some gravel down for my mum and did a bit of pottering in my own garden. I feel so much happier when I can get outdoors. I found a small yellow standard rose that I've put in a pot, it looks really pretty.

 

[Nanny Doreen]

That`s lovely Mandy. The plants which are perenial ( last more than 1 year. The guy in the garden centre told me. I was not sure) anyway they look so pretty cause I usually buy the ones with flowers that I may buy some more later. Only £1.99 each buy 4 get another free.
First tho I am going to go to Wickes and see if I can buy a small bag of sand and cement because I have noticed lots of bits than needing filling. Blast, that brick wall is costing me. Do like it though.
It looks a bit dull here, hope it don`t rain. No car mon and tues due to repair so could do it then if nec.
It is lovely when you can potter.

Off you go then and potter somemore. Have a good day, Diary to follow later.

Good morning everyone. Made a booboo last night. Went on the computer reading diaries and went to the cupboard and took out a couple of ryvita and munched whilst reading. Big mistake.

The only saving grace was I had stopped my day at 8 syns. So total for the day 23syns. Could have been worse. At least I knew how many. Pkt empty now. The last time I had ryvita I did the same.

Morning Doreen
Hey, there's worse things to pig out on.
Which ryvita do you recommend?
I can never decide, so usually don't bother buying any!

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I like most of them, I have been buying dark rye, mostly because they were dark like scan bran and are 1.1/2 syns. Some are more. I particular like fruit crunch but they are 2 1/2 ea. Don`t think I could have them in the house. Sesame seed are nice for 1.1/2. I like those second to fruit crunch.
I might try again in a couple of weeks. They are good for red days cause you get 75g philli for a hexa.
Oh they also do a sweet onion for 2 syns and am told they are smashing with cheese on. Not tried myself but sound good.
If you try any let me know what you thank, x

OMG have just been looking at my slimming books and noticed that wholegrain bread is synned.
I have had wholegrain bread all week. :cry: Bought it cause it was cheap. Oh well can`t do anything about it now. It just did not register. I have a couple of slices left in the freezer of wholemeal so will use that in the morning. Rest of wholegrain to go to the ducks. It`s an ill wind as they say.


Cheer up Dor it`s not the end of the world. :d'oh:

 

[Clapper&Ham]

I really wouldn't worry about the bread, it sounds like you've worked it off!!

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Still upset by that 1/2lb tho. Must be doing something wrong. Wholemeal is 2 syns per slice so is wholegrain:wave_cry:

Just got home, glad I had dinner early, all I had while out was nas drinks, few grapes and a strawberry.
Now going to have the scan bran with banana & mullerlight (5syns)

Forgot that had around 12 little cheese biscuits. not enough for a pack but count 2 syns
TOTAL FOR DAY 12.1/2
Forgot had about an 8th ofa scotch egg 2 syns
TOTAL FOR THE DAY 14 1/2.

I usually put my eats on my phone as I go along when out. Didn`t yesterday. Surprising difference a couple of picks make. Could have been worse if I had pickd at the rest. So ok with the syns, am confident notmi ssed anything else. 7.15am Monday and still thinking about yesterdays food.
