McFatty Von Chocolate: A Diary & Blog (2012)

Just scoffed through a DELICIOUS plateful of food for dinner. Made Pete's Sausage Rolls as an experiment - they were BEAUTIFUL, and free! Also tried making SW Quiche for the first time ever - used cottage cheese for the base, with a little cheddar mixed in, and a cheddar topping. Broccoli & Ham inside, yummy! And the veg, well I'm a veg addict, so that's always good ;)

Settling in for the night now, trying to plan out my treats so I know where I stand. Difficult to do in my current state though as I don't think I could eat another thing!

That'll probably change in an hour or so..... ;)
 
OMG I must be psychic!!!

Just followed dinner up with two slices of the japanese cheesecake I made yesterday. I wish it lasted longer! I was GORGEOUS!!! Planning on making some cupcake versions at some point next week, to save even more syns and make the portions easier to manage. Had it with hot blackberries and sweetened quark, with a little vanilla essence. That dessert was beautiful. I swear I'm still licking my lips! :p
 
Been a hectic morning today with baby coming home, so Hadn't had a chance to come on-line until this evening!

Pretty sparse picking so far today, but if baby manages to go to sleep in the next half hour I should be tucking in to my dinner then (Fingers Tightly Crossed!!!!) Haven't had the best of days SF wise either, due to rushing around after baby / cleaning most of the day.

Phew! Glad to get today over with, been rushed off my feet with training. Went to assist with a First Aid Course at a Primary School today, so have done very little except read & eat. Luckily I took a packed lunch (That tuna salad was particularly scrummy. Yum!) with me, but I still caved when I saw rhubarb cake on the buffet table. They were really small squares, so I think 5 syns is a good estimate. I doubt it will have done much damage to me anyway.

It's a little strange for me this week. I usually make a point of using EVERY ONE of my 15 syns. But not so this week. Well, I won't knock it, but I do want to bump them up soon, so I have something I can decrease if I hit that plateau (again).

Must pop off now, to check on other threads and chill out!

Diary will be a little later today - do't worry I'm writing it all down! Actually BOUGHT a diary - yes, I spent money! (Like I need an excuse....) so will be writing everything down through the day then updating it here as well. The more places I have what I've eaten staring back at me, the better I reckon.

Massively hectic time of it lately.... Can't even begin to explain how crazy things have been. Between work, baby and cooking almost every free hour I have, I'm plain exhausted! I'm good though, happy and all that, just difficult to find the time to keep everything updated.

Main reason is that I'm trying to write a novel, as well as some short fiction I'd like to try and get published. The second I get home from work I have everything in order - I do the cleaning, help hubby to put baby to bed, make dinner, eat, do some writing and then I can finally relax! But at this point it's usually 9 pm lol, so I rarely stay on the computer. My eyes need a break :p

For this reason you'll probably only see me around here when I'm at work... seems strange I know. But my intray is pretty full at the moment, so I'd better get on to emptying that before I can do any major chatting. Sounds like a good incentive to me!

Thanks everyone for all your support so far - you're all stars! xxx


What am I most proud of today?
