annnnnnnnnnd how was the sausage roll? my sis has just gone to kfc/mcdonalds to get dinner, i politely refused and everyone looked at me in shock horror as if to say 'but what are you going to eat instead?!'

 

[why_d]

the sausage roll was rotten, lol it may have been nicer had i heated it up, but wasnt in the mood to wait, lol

today was very much a flexi day tho as i was at a friends birthday and had chips with my steak and 2 mouthfuls of sticky toffee pudding - it was lush! lol

I see you managed to lose another 2 lbs - very well done!

Interesting article in yesterday's Mail on Sunday 'You' magazine - look at Point 13, could be why you still lose even with the odd blip!

Hi Why_d,

Do you have a recipe for your veg and barley broth ? It sounds really good.

Thanks.

Sounds like you've had a good start to the week. Hope the rest of it continues like that.

i've not updated in a few days, but i've been on plan throughout, with the exception of last night which was a flexi evening.

having a really really bad day today tho. not foodwise as yet, but that's just cos i cant reach the fridge as my chair is playing up again! i may or may not end up ordering a takeaway as cooking looks out of the question

Hi Why_d,

Hope your chair is fixed soon. Just wanted to say that your blog is still unstoppable reading. You are so articulate when you write.

Have you done the illustrations ? (and your avatar ?). I love them too !

Hope you have a good week.

P.S. Your stroganoff (or a variation of !) is still my favourite recipe at the moment. I have started chucking a few more things in it when I make it !
