Thank you Erin xAw, I never managed online yesterday so Happy belated birthday!! Sounds like it was a good one
Berry you are so welcome - you are only 10lbs away from your goal - and you so will get there x
I've had six mugs of hot water and lemon and loads of cold water - it just goes to show how bad chocolate and crisps are for you - when I had a binge on salt & vinegar a couple of weeks ago I felt like I'd smoked 40 cigarettes (I'm an ex-smoker) and my tongue was covered in a white fur that pealed off over the next couple of days - how attractive! As for the sugar - I have a headache from hell and as thirsty as the Tiger that Came for Tea!I am not surprised you are thirsty today after all that sugar
but so glad you had such a lovely day - shame about the rain
hopefully it will be better over the weekend - as its your birthday weekend - you dont have to stop after the actual day
I'm in a good place right now - I feel quite settled and in control - lets just hope it stays that way when I return to work next week - am really hoping it all comes together for you and the lovely Gem too x

Hairy Bikers Diet Coconut Prawn Curry
Serves 2 - 254 Cals per portion
2 tbsp curry paste
2 tbsp cold water
1 medium onion halved and finely sliced
1 orange or yellow pepper deseeded and cut into chunks
1 tbsp mango chutney
3 large ripe tomatoes, quartered
200ml half fat coconut milk
2tsp cornflour
200g king prawns (raw or cooked, but thawed if frozen)
100g baby spinach leaves
Put the curry paste, 1 tbsp of water, onion and pepper in a large nonstick frying pan. Cook over a low heat for 4-5 mins, stirring until the onion is softened.
Add the mango chutney, tomatoes and coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 4 mins stirring occasionally until the tomatoes are soft but holding their shape. Mix the cornflour with 1tbsp water to make a smooth paste, add to the coconut sauce jambs cook for 30 secs stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the prawns and spinach leaves and cook for 2-3 mins or until the prawns are hot and the spinach is softened, stirring regularly. If using raw prawns make sure they are cooked through and completely pink before serving
Serve with a small portion of freshly cooked basmati rice.
I used Green Thai Paste and also added a finely chopped red chilli (it was hot!)
Actually couldn't finish this the portion is huge - Paul had to finish it because he said it was the best curry he has ever eaten
