ha... thanks surreygal. You just made me realise its probably the meds making me feel so tired and out of sorts. I got a bit spaced out for the first couple of days but then didnt feel anything else so it didnt occur to me that the meds might be responsible for me feeling all... a different kinda funny. lol.
the bath was rather fabby and i may have another before bed. Hubby is cooking dinner and I am really looking forward to a good nights sleep. My eldest is off school for summer now so we can get some quality time tomorrow before the others break up on Thursday. bless.
For day 5 of fishy week Im having yellow fin sole with a 'lemon dusting' for my dinner. I was going to have it with cous cous but ive been having that almost every day so its just a plain old jacket spud, veggies and a good dollop of garlic and herb boursin (the best cheese EVER!) Had no idea it was a hex B and now im all happy because Tesco are doing a BOGOF on them. yes... it doesnt take much to make me happy... im far too easily pleased

YAY! Its sunny
Well... it is WI tomorrow and I have been absolutely 100% as well as totally fishified allllll week long. I have resisted sneaky peeking the scales since Friday so dont know how i have done. it was just under 4lbs according to my scales but we will see as I never really remember what the difference between mine and SWs scales and i suspect mine arent all that reliable!

heya jane and queenie xxxx
fishy week is going fine. I am not a big fish fan but i am trying to be adventurous. I enjoyed the yellowfin sole and i had never tried it before so i think i will try other new things. Im having scallops as my last fishy dinner tomorrow (never tried those before either) then im having a week of bacon, huge joints of gammon and big fat steaks lol. Im off to ireland for a week on the 30th July so hopefully i'll have a good loss to boost my pre-holiday confidence

Hi Karen,
have been reading your diary and I must say you do keep me entertained! You sound like you are doing so well, I wish I could be as good as you!
The fishy week sounds really good, i love fish so may give it a go next week or the week after. I'll see what your loss is like first hehe. Good luck for tomorrow.

hi anna, thank you for reading my mad ramblings. xx
I would suggest you not try to be 'good' in the same way as me as I have just had syns-overload. I somehow decided that Sunbites could be counted as a HEX B and just had an extra packet. I musta confused them for ryvita minis or something? Coulda sworn they were on the list....Oh bugger! So... I am missing a hex b but have had 18 syns today. I am just going to start making up my own SW rules now and say that what I have done is perfectly acceptable and good. Hex Bs tend to be 6ish syns so i will just consider it all evened out so that I dont have to cry and feel like a failure. HA!
for dinner we had a prawn curry (dopazia sauce from the saucy secrets book) with wholemeal rice and it was fab! just one more fishy meal and I am done! I dont want to see another fish for at LEAST a month unless someone is battering it and serving up with lashing of chips and vinegar! I hope i like scallops...
My incredibly fab daughter has a hockey match tomorrow night and my folks are coming to watch her. Im looking forward to having her show off her skills to the oldies The downside is that my WI coincides with the match but i am convinced i can throw her in the car as soon as the match is finished, fly home, throw her, her siblings and my husband out of the car and dash off to class. it'll be fine! I added the extra stress of inviting my parents to dinner as well which was a bit stupid of me as i wont actually be here. Prehaps i will slow cook something and my hubby can feed them while Im at image therapy lol. i dunno... i never really think these things through.
DYING to find out how i have done though... roll on WI!
