Hairdresser is fine; but will be seeing him tomorrow evening instead.
Food shop done; had to text my OH asking him to come and act as a pack horse! Shopping was heavy... got some more silicone type baking trays and things. As well as an index card box to use as a recipe store in the kitchen.
L - HEXB of w/m bread with HEXA phili, marmite and smoked salmon. Carrots sticks and an apple. Quorn ham slices rolled up with cottage cheese.
D - we're having Quorn peppered steaks with roast veg and spuds. 2 syns for a slice of plastic cheese!
Off to cook now. This is the recipe I'm following for the brownies. Pretty and Polished: Slimming World Brownies Will let you know how they turn out!
Also going to do some syn free egg custards - https://shhhquietmummy.wordpress.com/2012/10/07/syn-free-egg-custards-recipe/ using M&S free vanilla yogurts to avoid gelatine!

Yup, I'm cooking so much more now and actually loving it. Had forgotten how much I enjoy being in the kitchen.
Egg custards are in... I'm a little dubious about the yogurt curdling, so have turned the oven down lower. Managed to find some panna cotta moulds in TK Maxx as well; so shall think of something to use those for. I'm terrible once I get started in there!

Hm I think I cooked the egg custards a bit too long... they taste ok. But need some work. My group want me to take them on Thursday, so will attempt again later in the week I think! Quiches in the oven, just about to start on brownies.
My favourite sort of Sunday!

Well, started the brownies, then realised that I didn't have enough sweetener. I only use the stuff for baking and forget that it weights next to nothing! So went to Tesco Metro x 3, Sainsburys and Morrisons, before finally locating sweetener in Co-Op!
They're now out of the oven cooling; slightly over-filled the mini silicon molds, so will have to rethink that next time! But texture wise, they seem pretty good.
Dinner's in the oven now, then time to chill out! Will have 2 of my brownies for 1 syn and the cheese for 2 - nice 3 syn day!

I'm totally going to have a go at those brownies.

Do it! They're yummy. Two very good bites for your half a syn! The mixture does get really stiff! I'm almost tempted to put another egg yolk in next time.

Really tasty and two was enough for me! They're on the dry side and not gooey like normal brownies, may experiment with cooking for a little less time. Either way, they're coming to the taster on Thursday!

Sat at my desk feeling a bit panicy and shaky, to be honest. Need to get back on the horse though I suppose.
Just going to see how it goes today. I don't want to be off work again, I know it's not the right thing for me in the long run.
Monday - having an SP day today!
B - strawberries, raspberries and mixed frozen berries with quark and vanilla skinny syrup.
S - brownies x 2 (1 syn), carrots, sugar snaps and tomatoes. Alpen light x 2 (HEXB1)
L - soup, quiche and salad. Fruit pot.
D - I'm doing a tofu curry tonight, served with lots of veg.

Not bad at all. I did pinch a cigarette of my mate on Saturday, but really didn't enjoy it at all! Just need to remember to charge the e-cig regularly.

Get a spare battery and just swap them - so always one charging/fully charged.
