Morning all, back to being up early, one of my little ones is back to school today the other is back tomorrow[msnsmile2]
Day one of the new 7 day menu plan says Bachelors Mild Cheese & broccoli pasta n pasta made with water [sick][sick] Has anyone tried this or can I swap it for something nicer???
Good luck to Theresa, Mizzy and any other Monday weigh ins[clap][clap][clap]
Have a good day all!!!
good morning everyone
good luck with the weigh in Theresa
Fiona, i'm sure you'll find something nice for the wedding, could you not buy something that a clever dressmake could alter for you after your op?
and Julie, the mild cheese and brocolli is [sick] the cheese leek and ham or carbonara ones are much nicer, but if you still dont fancy this swap it for cous cous or make your own pasta and a sauce using free ingrediants, that'll still be ok
it looks like my eldest child is gonna be off school today, she has something wrong with her ears and as she never usually recognises pain and the fact that she's kept me up for most of the night[msnscared] means it must be significant so it's a trip to the doctor (hard work) and then getting her to take whatever he gives her (even harder!!!!) and probably another 3-4 nights of no sleep[msnsad]
have a good day everyone
Mizzy
Good morning all, hope everyone had a good weekend, wasn't the weather lovely but we did have heavy rain last night, good for all those plants I had put in earlier.
Mizzy, glad to hear you had a good birthday party for your son but sorry to hear that your daughter is not well. Hope the trip to the doctors is not too bad.
Had my walk this morning and shortly off to play tennis. We have to go and visit MIL this afternoon, my least favourite pastime but it does have to be done. Fortunately is about 45 mins away so have to arrange it in advance.
Had quite a good weekend food wise, can't remember exactly what but my sins were alcohol and nothing else. Will have a red day today as then I know I will be OK for whatever we do this evening with MIL, she often takes us out for a meal to a carvery.
Hope the weigh-in goes well Mizzy, I'm sure a pizza and slice of chocolate cake will not undo all the good of the last fortnight.
Fiona, you could do what I have done in the past for a special occasion, go to one of the local charity shops, it is surprising what good quality things they have in them. I picked up a brand new pair of sandals, Clarks this season, last week for £5. I have also got Country Casual, Kaliko and Monsoon things from them. Good luck hunting.

Jill i dont envy you visiting the mil, if she's anything like mine then i hope your grateful that she lives so far away, mines on the doorstep[msneek] but we never visit without advance warning as the children can be a bit of a handful
my mil wore black to all of her 3 sons weddings and i was the worst as i married her baby[msnoo]
i took my son to school this morning and had to bring him straight back home, it's a teacher training day!!!!![msnembarrased] the head came out especially just to tell me
Mizzy
Ok I stayed the same. [msnsmile2]
It may seem strange that I am happy about it, but believe me I have had three weeks of sheer temptation. So I am delighted I managed to stay stable, and this week I am being sooooo good!
However, I have a 50th Birthday on Sat, which will be tempting, does anyone know how many syns in a Smirnoff Black Ice? I can stand all night and not eat a bite, because I will eat my SW meal before I go, but I find it hard not to have a drink, does that sound bad? I just love parties and dancing, and a couple will get me lively!
I looked on the SW website for the syn value ~ but no joy! I thought I could bring along two Smirnoffs, and sip them slowly, and then I know what I have consumed!
Theresa
congratulations Theresa, staying the same usually means you in control and maintaining your weight so well done[clap][clap][clap]
i'm not sure about smirnoff black ice, but as a guess i would say it's similar to a bacardi breezer which would be approx 8-10, a vodka is 2.5 syns so how about a few of these?, add a diet mixer and your well away
i have a nice recipe for vodka jelly[msneek] if your interested[msnwink]
and i'm sure there'll be something you can have if it's a buffet, i generally stick to red days for buffets as there is nearly always some sort of meat and salad on these things
Mizzy
Morning all
Lovely day here again[msncool]
Theresa well done for staying the same.
A smirnoff black ice is 9 sins[msnscared]
Having a BBQ tonight so having a red day, just off to drop Rachel off at college to do her AS Business Studies exam then going to get the meat and salad.
Mizzy, I've done the same as you before, got to school and it's been teacher training. A few years ago I drove to school to pick the girls up and then walked home, it was only when I looked out of the window and wondered where the car was that I remembered I had left it at the school[msneek].
Hope everyone has a good day.
Well I am back home from work. I walked there and back today, so that was an extra half hour walk!
OMG I will NOT be going near the Smirnoffs then! Wow that's incredible!
I may as well mix my own then, and use a diet lemonade.
I usually eat before I go to an evening party, as I am less inclined to nibble. Australians tend to be 'bring a plate' enthusiasts. Nobody dreams of turning up anywhere without a huge plate of food in hand, so there is always enough to feed a small country! I find if I am full up when I get there, I can steer away from all the temptation.
The vodka jelly sounds nice ~ I guess that could be either a red or green day too [msnwink]
Theresa
Mizzy, thank you I will have cous cous for tea instead then[msnwink]
Just had the lunch on day one of the new 7 day plan, toast, egg and beans - now this is a bit of a risk for me as I have not eaten baked beans for 10 years as they used to be bad for my IBS so watch this space[msneek]
Have a good pm all and good luck Mizzy for tonight!!!
Well done on staying the same Theresa[clap][clap][clap]
Theresa, if it's bring a plate why dont you take something that you can have, how about little chicken kebabs made with cubed chicken breast and peppers,courgettes and red onion, feed them all onto skewers sprinkle over some seasoning/spices and cook in the oven for 20 mins or maybe mini fruit kebabs with a yoghurty dip[msntongue]
do you want me to post the recipe for vodka jelly?
Julie, fingers crossed for the beans then, i quite like those new heinz mean beanz "sweet chilli" ones they are lovely mixed with cooked rice and some chopped onion and garlic then stuffed into peppers and baked in the oven, one of my favourite teas on green [msnwink]
Mizzy
