You're within your syns so don't worry about it It can't be easy being away from home Very tricky I would imagine!

Anyway........

OMG you haven't eaten in the past 3 days? lol

That's no way to save syns! :giggle:

Did you get into work ok yesterday?

 

[vickidyers]

I was so pleased to be home I kinda forgot the diary!! I've got a bit slack this week as I'm living off a carvery every day during the week and I pre-order my breakfast everyday - it's always the same. bacon (all fat removed and yep they really do that for me in the hotel - how nice!) scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes and 1 slice wholemeal toast.

Lol - The place where I have been staying is anything but posh!! The 'frodge' is at work and keeps me away from the panini's!

Just been told that my normal hotel is not available next week - so I'm being moved into a Best Western Hotel. It's got a gym - so super pleased with that!! But not sure if they do a carvery

Oh wowser! A gym That's fabuloso!

Can you google Best Western to see what the menu is like? Hopefully you will find something suitable It would take every ounce of willpower I possess to resist some of the yummy stuff on offer when away from home Good luck!

Good job you've got the frodge stocked up!

 

[Corkscrew]

Just googled and it looks like they only do caveries over the weekend

Mind I only looked at the one on Bath Road....

 

[Corkscrew]

There's a few Best Westerns around that area, and it looks like they have different menus.

Some of them have downloadable menus Vicki

I'll shurrup now eh? :giggle:

Copied and pasted from thier online menu - good plan Corky I can plan in advance now!​

 

[vickidyers]

just another thought - there is nothing on there particularly SW friendly unless I start mincing about with it. I can still use my normal hotel resturant although I can't stay there - I just need to drive 5 miles. I might do that!!

 

[Corkscrew]

OMG All that scrummy stuff It should be illegal! :8855:

 

[vickidyers]

Cheaper too - where I'm staying now a get a LUSH carvery and a re-fillable pepsi max for £8.04. I think I'll just drive back there for my evening meals, even counting the fuel in my car it's still cheaper!

 

[vickidyers]

Why can't I like your comments Corky - my 'like' button has gone - maybe I have over used it!!??
