ProPoints Nessa's pro points diary

Phew Nessa, what a day! Good news about Hubby's foot not being broken, and the rabbit being OK. Not good news about the washing machine, what a pain. :(

The Chicken Satay looks lovely - it's one of my faves. I have just been back a few posts and saw you had trouble getting the sauce. I often use Peanut Butter - mix it with some soy sauce, chilli, garlic, chopped fresh coriander if you have it, root ginger, lime juice etc - I usually do it to taste so can't really give amounts! Thin down with a bit of water if necessary to get it to the consistency you like. It's pretty good (A bit late now I know! :))

Hmmm... (smacks lips) think Chicken Satay is on the menu for later in the week!

Awww lovely. Your little girl looks so like you!

Lol everyone says that the poor thing lol I looked exactly like her at that age too!

Thanks about hubby's foot and the rabbit and hubby has managed to fix the washing machine yay!!

The satay chicken was sooo good thanks about the idea of using peanut butter I must remember that incase the sauce sachet is ever out of stock.

I hope you are ok and that you have had a good day xxxx

Ah no don't say that - I think you look lovely in your pic! xxx

Oh good news on the washing machine - with two little ones it would have been a pain for it to be out of action!

Yes, not a bad day thanks - went to the sea-side - ate out, but quite happy with my choices - will be updating food diary in a bit once I've caught up with posts. Only downside was I had an upset stomach so the long walk we had planned had to be cut short, as I needed to be in dashing distance of the loo! :eek:

Yes thanks hun, quite a bit better now. I had too much bread yesterday and not enough fruit and veg - just said in my food diary I know I can't get away with it, but every so often do it anyway. Stupid really when I know the consequences!

Sounds good! Maybe you should start having a slightly bigger breakfast so you use all of your points and aren't completely stuffed later in the day though? xx

Thanks Hun. I leave the house at 7:15 all this week so just grabbed the Cheerios to snack on at work. I normally have quavers and a dunker to snack on at work which uses a few points but I left work at one today so didn't bother packing snacks.
I find it hard eating so early, before WW I never used to have breakfast at all so I'm pleased I have it now even if it doesn't really seem like much.
Will be planning better tomorrow to try and use all my points up.
Thanks for your advice hun, all comments are always very much appreciated. Xxx
 
Cheerios with yoghurt instead of milk is delicious too! :p x I sometimes take a small container and measure out my cheerios and then I can tip the yoghurt into the container to eat from! Like a muller corner with about half the amount of points, haha! xx You're doing really well, I never used to eat breakfast either but now it's one of my favourite times of day :) What an early start, not looking forward to the early mornings in September, lol!

Thanks Hun hope you are ok? Xx

Chicken satay recipe..
I chopped up half an onion and some mushrooms and browned until soft then added 200g diced chicken 5pp when that was cooked through I added half a bag of fresh noodles 6pp and a sachet of peanut satay sauce 5pp
So in total 16pp but would serve 2 nicely for 8pp each especially with extra veg.
