Lo,
Those stuffed peppers looked Yummy!!
When I did SW previously, I also had stuffed peppers... You have reminded me how much I like them!!
They will be in my menu next week!!
Hope your having a good week
It's a fab rediscovery isn't it - I hadn't had them for years either, well pleased with Jackie for rustling them up and posting the tempting pic the other week
mmm loving all the stuffed pepper ideas. i must have some this week
How are you feeling today sweetie? xxxxx
Think I'll be having the greek ones over the weekend
Today's been really busy, not stressful or anything but it's like argh where did all my time go
Looking forward to a quiet weekend I love jumping in leaves during the autumn whe they're all dry and scrunchy. I used to embarrass my kids when we walked to school and they were trying to be all grown up
Heehee luckily my son still enjoys having a good stomp about in the leaves so I'm not an embarrassment to him (for now) lol
Going to take a couple of pics in the park on the way home from school tomorrow I think - keep seeing lots of women doing the same thing atm as we live in an area with quite wide tree-lined roads so it seems a popular hobby. Lots of lovely colours so it'd be nice to capture them before it's all gone

They're absolutely lovely Rach - feels like a proper treat. I need to go buy more peppers, glad they seem to have gone down in price a little in the shops of late
Ended up not doing wii fit today either
Struggling to find the time at the end of the day and have had to sleep right up to 15 mins before work each morning the last two days 'cause I'm still a little worn out from the cold/cough so no time before work Eh well!

Mn another pleasant autumny walk to school today. Went to town to meet the OH after work for a mcdonald's tea for him and m'son (I had a cappuccino and a fibre plus bar).
Went to the loo to be greeted by a drunk woman peeing with the loo door open Got a drunken 'sorry love' - think I came back with 'you're alright', what else can you say really?! Then she started begging me for 'bus fare' while I was trying to have a wee. Tried waiting in the cubicle for her to leave, came out and she'd put her can of special brew in one sink and was stood in front of the other with her trousers halfway up her legs going 'I can't get myself dressed'... I will NEVER be an alcoholic
Mnhmn anywho - food diaries for last 2 days. Ended up having a red day today despite the green week challenge - m'son made me a beefburger and meatballs at school on tuesday and he won't eat them 'cause he's fussy so felt the mother's guilt about chucking 'em. Just counted a couple of syns, might have been more but won't lose any sleep over it
Tuesday - green
B Activia yoghurt, alpen bar (3 syns), banana, coffee with dash of milk (0.5 syns)
L - quorn sausage hotpot (2 syns) & steamed veggies
Afternoon - milky coffee (hexa) & fibre plus bar (hexb)
D - stuffed peppers (2 syns) & mozzarella (hexa), salad veggies
Evening - fibre plus bar (hexb) & muller greek-style black cherry yoghurt (4 syns)
Today - red day
B - Child's beefburger on french bread with sweet chilli sauce (est. 8.5 syns), activia yoghurt, apple
L - Child's meatballs (1 syn), potato wedges (hexb potato), salad, sweet chilli sauce (1 syn) and el mayo (1 syn)
Afternoon - MD cappuccino (4.5 syns), fibre plus bar (hexb). Melon balls & activia yoghurt.
D - Fillet steak (medium rare), griddled veg & mozzarella stacks (aubergine, courgette, red onion, basil and grated mozzarella hexa), griddled red pepper wedges.
Evening - milky coffee (hexa), banana, 2 galaxy truffles (4 syns)
weekly syn count 78.5/105
Bit of a high syn day today but plenty left for the next two days. Bit PO'd that my hifi bars haven't turned up yet, was hoping they'd show up today as fancied one of the mint ones... running out of fibre plus bars too quickly lol
Back on green for thurs/fri and hopefully I'll get that pumpkin lasagne made tomorrow night for dinner/tea. It's been built up in my mind now so I hope it's tasty
Oh yes, WiiFit told me I'm 20 years old today - brilliant lol

Hey Lo,
Food looks fabulous, will have to do these peppers myself .. seeing as you and Jackie rave about them, yet another thing I have never had before and there was me thinking I had a very varied diet :giggle:
Hope you're having a fab day ....just one thing not sure if I mentioned this, I didn't like the rice with the nutmeg in so I changed it to mixed spice wasn't such a bitter taste, could leave it out all together if you like but I do recommend adding the plain yoghurt and either honey or golden syrup it was amazing yum yum....now I'm hungry ...
it's lunch time, catch ya later my lovely xxxxxxxx

Ooh yes do try them - I'm sure you'll really like them
You did mention about the nutmeg. I ended up using some cinnamon and ginger with mine and mixed in a muller greek-style yog with the honeyed apricot compote - t'was very nice and creamy, thank'ee for the recipe

I meant to :giggle: about the lady in the loo and forgot.. my brain is mush. I read it, I giggle, or think about it then when I reply to people I dont mention it
mmmmm I like crunchies so why don't I fancy one
Think I must be eating your share for you this week
Though I've been 'good' tonight and settled for a cocopops cereal bar tonight when I've got a posh box of chocs from Hotel Chocolat sitting in the middle of my living room, mocking me
I'm eating a mugshot and a yoghurt aswell though
Gone a bit overboard on carbies today m'well don't ya just love a drunk !!!:8855::8855:

Well I think I'd seen more than enough of that particular drunk
Mn yeah can't do the eating and walking thing either :sigh: Will just manage I think and try not to overcompensate once I get home after school.
Stressing about it 'cause having to go in for a performance review, m'manager said we'd only be about 10 minutes so I'd guess things are okay but I know I've not been managing to work on enough cases per day so expecting maybe an informal pull-your-socks-up type talk. I'm expected to do more than office-based staff (not sure why they think homeworkers would do -that- much better, getting penalised since I don't need time to gossip about big brother, football and similar crepe with other team members I guess). Really fed up with how things are atm but no other homeworking options within the council up for grabs and don't think I could cope with working in an office anymore
