~*~ Tanya's Maint Diary 2 ~*~ Fresh!

[JanD]

Please can I come to yours for dinner????? xx

Re the 1lb a week thing .... bit different with it being over Christmas though eh!!?? I do think it's a good idea to rethink your meals though - don't think you're having enough personally - resulting in hunger - resulting in picking. xx

 

[summergurl]

Aye Jan - i need a proper think. Might have a couple jacket pots for lunch and maybe some rice/pasta with evening meals.

Today i have officially gone off the rails food wise :sigh:

 

[grovergirl1]

Oooh Tanya,

Please have a cupcake, and a yummy cocktail for me

 

[Scotsmist]

115g butter
115g caster sugar
2 eggs
115g self raising flour
dash vanilla

1. Cream butter & sugar together till fluffy
2. beat in the eggs one at a time untill fully incorporated.
3. sieve in the flour and fold in gently untill fully incorporated.
4. add dash of vanilla.
(can add cocoa powder, any other flavouring instead of vanilla at this point)
5. Put into muffin cases in a muffin tin (very important!)
6. bake for about 17mins gas mark 4.
7. allow to cool in the muffin tin.

For the buttercream frosting:

3oz butter
4.5oz icing sugar
dash vanilla

1. beat together untill light and fluffy
- you can add any flavouring instead of vanilla (coffee is pretty good and strawberry) and also some colouring to make it look 'pretty' hehe
-chocolate sprinkles also work well - and add a little cocoa powder for chocolate buttercream

thanks Tanya!!!!

Cheers girls. Have perked up a bit now as ive had a little bit of good news ......

My friend sent me some info on a voluntary position that is going at Dartmoor Prison - wont go into details just yet - but the info stated they are particulary looking for young people and those of ethnic minorities as they are under represented - so it asked you to email your details, which i did and within an hour i had a call from them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoke to the woman for around 15mins she explained it all etc and said they are keen for younger people to get involved and i now have been invited to the tour of dartmoor prison on the 30th and then if i still want to go ahead with the application they will give me the application pack then.

She did mention it can take anywhere up to 6months for you to actually start if you get selected (as its the minister in London who chooses who they want to do the voluntary work) and so thats the only downside but hey ......... im so excited about this one!!!

:fingerscrossed:

 

[JanD]

Saw this on Facebook Tan .... Really really made up for you and fingers crossed!!!!! xx

Oh deary me, it's not pretty. Tried Atkins bars for the first time on Sunday against my better judgement. Had one at the movies instead of sweeties... but of course Boots are doing 3 for 2 (we can see these traps a mile away, and yet we trot in happily!). Ate the two last night. One after another. And unleashed the gates of hell! :sigh:

Totally off track today. I'm not sure I can elaborate, but I could work 'Mince Pie', 'cup cake', 'shortbread' and possibly 'chicken wing' into a sentence if i had to....

Tomorrow is another day....

You look like you've kept control today though Tanya, well done. (and yum!)

 

[summergurl]

LOL!!!! We all have days like that - at the minute im having more and more which i need to get a grip of!

Yeah im impressed i actually had 'carbs' for lunch but look at all the chocolate ive eaten today!!!! :O

I'm even contemplating going downstairs to the kitchen cupboard and munching some more! lol

 

[kered]

.......you know that song by Meatloaf............."Stop right there".
Hey girl, you haven't come this far to throw it away by munching whatever, whenever..........where is the Tanya that has control. No more tonight....ya hear?
