Extra Easy Days Trefoil's Trip To Target!

[jules1981]

I will look out for that frozen yog... I bought some from asda today that was 84 cals ( so 4.5 syns) for 100 mls

My week is going ok thank you been on plan so far BUT am going out to lunch tomorrow just hope I make a healthy choice.

House prices are crazy we are going to be paying off our mortgage forever!

Hope your days been ok, I have been drinking water too xxxx

 

[Trefoil]

Your holidays sound great, so nice to have something to look forward to!
We're going away at the end of this week and I feel ready for it. Then need to put in some seriously hard at work til end of July when we go to Cornwall!
Sounds like you've got your head screwed on re house buying- I'm sure there are hidden costs or things that you don't think of, so better to have a little stash just in case. Harrogate is an expensive area to live! Fingers crossed you find something within budget when you are ready for the move
Have you tried a water infusion bottle? It's got a little compartment in the middle where you can put chopped up fruit/lemon/lime etc- liven the water up a bit, but not actually in the bit you drink so you don't get bits in it! I don't think there's anything wrong with sugar free squash either for what it's worth- still getting the fluids in and it's not diuretic like tea/coffee.
Have a good day! X

Yes I am extremely excited oooh where are you off at the end of this week? Abroad? The end of July sounds fab too!
Yes I am hoping that when we come to buying a house all will be fine, got a couple of years left so we can get ourselves all fully prepared!
I have just bought one of the infusion bottles under your instruction- can't wait for it to arrive eek!! Hopefully it will help me to drink a bit more! Yes I hadn't thought of squash actually, we have a water machine near where I sit, so that would be amazing to drink lots of juice!
I hope that you've had a fab day! Can't wait for it all to cool down..

If you can't tell... I could eat this kind of food all day every day. I went to China and Hong Kong when I was 17 with school and relished every single moment!

Ohh you'll have to let me know how the infusion bottle works out! I haven't actually tried it I just thought it sounded like a good solution to your water dilemma lol!
I must drink more water too- especially as it's been so warm I'm probably awfully dehydrated.
Tomorrow we are heading to the Lake District! It is our first wedding anniversary on Sunday so we're going away for two nights- a little village near Coniston I think I feel about the Lakes as you do about Centre Parcs!
So looking forward to it though. We're going to South Lakes Zoo on Saturday and an amazing restaurant on Saturday night. Excited!
House hunting is pretty stressful but it sounds like you're doing veerything you can to be prepared. I'm totally winging it haha. I think we will end up buying at auction so there's only so much prep you can do in the years before I guess?! X

 

[Little B]

Im interested to know what the infusion bottle is like too, been looking at them for a while, I'm quite good at drinking water but it does get boring after a while!
Hope it's a bit cooler for you today where you are, it was chilly here this morning but the sun has just made an appearance so I'm off to sit in the garden while I can xx

I certainly will do! I spend so much time talking on the phone at work and get such a dry mouth that I really should to keep me going- I work in logistics with engineers so need to keep myself all perked up so I think that one of those could definitely be the answer!
Oh how lovely!!! I adore the lakes, I do hope that you have the most wonderful time it is simply stunning! (I worked in Windermere for a little while when I was in the hotel industry!)
Oh wow buying at auction! I'm not sure that happens that much in Harrogate and Knaresborough (they would be the only areas we would be looking at really as my OH will never be able to drive and needs a good transport route! I intend to drive one day!) but I think we would go down that road if it did!
I'm originally from Leeds and I know that if we lived there we would have a much better chance of finding a house, my mum and dad are from South and West Yorkshire respectively so I have family round about too, but growing up in Harrogate, and my OH moving to Harrogate from Scotland aged 5, and my parents are in Harrogate (OHs are in Leeds) I'm unsure about moving! Things may change though! You never know!

Anyway, I'm rambling. Have the most wonderful time!!!! Enjoy every second of it

Never mind, lesson learned have a fab evening!

Thanks you Jules!

How lovely to live in Norfolk! It's so beautiful down there!!! Although when I say that everyone talks about the Yorkshire Dales/Yorkshire Moors that are literally a 20 minute drive from my flat, so I suppose you take for granted what you have on your doorstep!

When's weigh in?

I also adore spinach, yum yum yum! We eat an awful lot of far eastern food and use it as a substitute for seaweed etc but yeah it's great in pasta, in casseroles etc. It does all wilt, shrink and go soggy but it's still very yummy!!

Have a lovely day!

Bit of an odd day today.
Out early to doctors, followed by work, then hospital at 11:30 for radiology to look at elbow issue, then back to work. Then I am going to Yo Sushi with a friend tonight- one opened in Harrogate a couple of weeks back!
A bit excited and ive been researching Syns....

I am glad it's cooler too, definitely rained overnight here!

lol you sell it so well! Will pick some up at asda today, try and hide it in the pasta on Saturday so the weasels don't notice it!
Hope your day is lovely too xx

 

[Poppet12]

I will! I'm about to start packing
I love Windermere and have stayed there a few times but this weekend we fancied a change and wanted to be closer to South Lakes Zoo. We tend to have a drive to Ambleside most times we go (I LOVE Lakeland plastics) and just take in the scenery. Exciting!
I think it sounds sensible to stay near where you need to be- especially transport wise, as the further into the sticks you go the harder it is and the less options you have open to you.
I think we'll be looking around Wakefield area- what we need to buy is too expensive around Hudds (house with land). Stuff comes up in Barnsley but there would be competition there for the business we want to set up (therapeutic farm).
You'd be surprised how much goes to auction- it's a cheaper way of buying if you can do it too, or so I've read lol.
Have a great weekend Ruth! Catch up with you when I get back x

Good luck at your appointments today. Hopefully they don't poke and prod too much.
Yo sushi is my idea of hell (raw fish eek) but everyone raves about it. I'm just too scared to even try it haha. Hope you enjoy it syns wise is it not relatively low?
