One of mine climbed on my craft table next to me bed and upchucked its tea all over me, my open laptop and my bedding last night. Euewww. Cats! Good job we love them.

Oh noooo ladybird - how do they know to throw up where it will cause maximum damage? One of mine did it all over a really mportant letter...I should get shares in a paper towel producer!
The other one also knows EXACTLY where to walk across my laptop keyboard to switch it off. So yes, it's very lucky for them that I love them (Orbit, a tabby, and Stella, a Bombay - fancy way of saying black lol).
Just had three reduced fat sossies, and two slices of toast (1 HEB 1 synned) with mashed banana. I have two nanas left but they've stsrted to turn and I hate the taste once they start doing that. Feels like an eating day - just had a pear, and got a golden delicious lined up too.

you sound like my son, he'd be like the hungry caterpillar lost in a fruit bowl, he's had a banana, a pear, an apple and a satsuma today.
Hope all the cats are ok!

Feeling full now, after a coffee and 4 ginger nuts (8)! So much for no syns today.
The cats are fine, upchucking is something all cats do regularly. The older one gets a build up of stomach acid and needs a little food but often, but she throws up almost every day regardless of the food I give her, but then stops for a week, then starts again.
The little one - well she just eats too fast and hoovers up everything until she almost explodes. She was abandoned in Italy and turned up at my door there crying for food. i wasn't going to keep her, the older one doesn't like sharing her space, but the vet did an ultrasound and said "Poor wee thing has been eating gravel to make herself think she was full" - and my heart just broke! So I kept little Stella and we have regular hissing and carrying on, three years later, which we all just live with
. They are both sound asleep right now, in the same room, and peace prevails .

Afternoon all
Another late to bed evening and late to rise as a result, but had a lovely long chat to a mate, curled up under the snuggly warm duvet, as we reviewed the past year - both of us have had trials and tribulations, and we've both come out of them improved versions of ourselves - such a nice, positive way to start the (late) day.
I found a box of plastic food storage containers yesterday and am going to use all the green veg in the feezer and divvy it up so I have a mix similar to the Morrisons one I like - so that's the job for this afternoon.
L - HEB + 1 toast with marmite and HEA cheese (6) and coffee, lots of coffee
D - meatballs in a rich passata with green veg - no pasta, trying to avoid it until Wednesday WI!
S - fruit, rye cakes with Sweet Freedom (2)
Enjoy! x

sounds good except the marmite lol. What is sweet freedom?

It's a chocolate syrup - https://www.sweetfreedom.co.uk/products/choc-shot/ - all natural fruit extracts (carob & apple), cocoa, water rapeseed oil and only 13 cals a tsp, so less than 1 SW syn . I love it on porridge, and on ryvita rye cakes with mashed banana mmm - really satisfies the sweet crqavings after dinner.
And joy of joys I've just discovered they've released a chocolate mint one - best prices for the range at Aldi.

Check out the SF website - they have a list of stockists, including a couple of online health food shops - bit more £ than the supermarkets but the entire range - after shipping and a 15% discount - four items cost me about £12. So not massively cheap but low in syns and not full of nasties.

I don't know what you mean by SF, and google hasn't helped.

Nice one @ChilliQueen .
A slow but enjoyable start to the week, just trying to get things tidied up at home before the guys arrive to move things round on the 26th - mostly Im sitting around playing Ever Merge - absolutely love it, really appeals to my OCD sense of order lol.
B - tea 3
L - last of the chicken casserole (1), coffee, Clem
D - meatballs and veg - if I can inspire myself to make it, but the meat is out and thawed now, so it'll only take me 10 mins to prepare in my fabulous CleverChef, best gadget ever! I love the slow cooker part, you can adjust the temperature so the high cooks fast and the contents don't become all tasteless and bland.
S - NONE - a sneaky weigh in shows me STS and I want a pound gone by Wednesday so I get my half stone award!

I've had a lookie at the SF website (and attempted to stop being stupid for the day lol) Tesco stocks the chocolate stuff, most of the other retailers aren't handy for me for now. They sell on amazon though so I may get a tub of the original sweetner and try it in my tea and baking.
Sounds like a good food day for you!

I ordered some of the unusual flavours from Nature's Health Box - ended up being about £4 each with postage.
Watch the Amazon prices, they can go a bit silly - hope you like it. It's not Nutella, that's for sure, and does sometimes taste a bit fake to me, but I've double checked the contents so hopefully there's no awful chem sweeteners lurking in there!
Meatballs cooking now and smell amazing - I am sooo ready for tea!
Later - it was nice - but the meatballs were tasteless, any thoughts as to how they can be more richly flavoured?

Did you cook them in a sauce. I usually do a tomato sauce type thingy, that same as you would when making a bolognese. But for a change I also add the north african spice mix Ras al Hanout to it, just a teaspoon gives it a great flavour. Or was it the meat itself that was bland?

It was the meat itself. I didn't make the balls this time but would appreciate suggestions for the next time I do make them - curry powder maybe? I'm going to try a Slimming Eats recipe for pork and sweet potato meatballs this week.
I cooked the balls in a tomatoey sauce with passata, onions cooked in a little oil, lots of basil, some cracked black pepper and W'er sauce so the sauce itself was yummy.
