MinkyDinkys SW Success Diary!!

[Mumma K]

Having just looked online it says its ok to do it. I've made bean stews and the Carribean beef one I had earlier in the week was a freezer jobby n had pigeon peas and haricots in and they were fine. Only thing with a beany soup is that they may soak up some of the stock and make it drier so adjust water/stock levels once defrosted xx We head off on Saturday super excited, temp was at 37oC today! Dubrovnik is meant to be gorge, my friends went last year. How long are you off for? Hope you have a delightful tome xx

I'm off on Sunday for two weeks

Yikes at 37oC that's mega hot minks

Have a great holiday minks xx

 

[Happy Holidays]

What time do you set off tomorrow. I love the evening before hols, its brill, relaxing & wine, hmmmmmmmmm. Bob is off tomorrow, then we all go to Thassos week on Sunday, we're being picked up at 3:15am Lydia thought she may be able to go out the Saturday night, Bob said she'll never get up & had to remind him she wouldn't have been to bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MinkyDinky]

Officially finished! Yay!! Well, 2 more emails to send but that can wait till later. Oh and set my out of office. I'll do that after a glass of vino and a chill.

Quick food update
Lunch


Breakfast I don't remember eating? It was just a greek yog and alpen light. Tsk tsk. Had a couple of biccies to get me through the day.

Plan tonight amongst packing and pampering is a couple of glasses of vino, some cheese balls and a mini tub of cookie dough Häagen as a treat.

Reading more reviews on the hotel and there is a huge variety of food with a lot of fruit, salad and veggies which is awesome. I'm hoping for minimal damage. The boy doesn't eat very often and if we are out and about the main thing is to keep hydrated as its super hot right now.

Wine o clock! Yippeeee!!

Sounds like my sort of usual behaviour! Ha ha!

We go at 11.50 so will head to airport for 9.30 to check bags in, get through passport control and then have brekkie and a mooch about.

Hope you have a fabulous time in Thassos and look forward to seeing lots of pics! Xx

Good morning guys. I'm back

Had a bloody marvelously relaxing time away with the boy in egypt and caught myself some rays. It was frigging warm tho - too warm for the boy and he got himself sun stroke it was 27 by breakfast time and 34-37 by midday most days. I loved it! Unfortunately I got badly bitten on the second night and that really screwed my legs and feet up


Approx 40 bites in one night. 2 on my face, 2 on my arm and one on my shoulder with that. Needless to say I was very conscious of it.
Most of the time we just chilled at the beach, went swimming with the fishes (scared the hell outta me!) And talked. Like really talked, if that makes sense. Kinda got to know each other again. And talked weddings more too so since I've been back I've been looking more at weddings eep!

Our balcony view


Lovely and green was the site. The boy has more gorgeous snaps so will chuck some on later.

Our hotel/complex was HUGE and we got little taftaf buses running all over the site. I was happy to walk but after 2 days of hilly walking the boy put his foot down! We also hired a golf buggy which was super fun to whizz about in (pics are on his phone so will chuck some up later). Went to the spa and had an AMAZING head to toe antistress massage - wow!
We went quad biking in the desert on the Friday which was a massive eye opener, we saw people who live out there. There are little shacks just dotted about and they have pretty much nothing. Crazy.
Some piccies of quads / beach / stuff






So back to reality with a crash I guess. Back to work today and I made the mistake of checking my emails on Sunday when I got back... fun times. Been on plan ish and weighed yesterday to find I'd lost 2lbs so well happy with that over 2 weeks (in comparison to my 9lb gain last holiday!!)
Food sunday
Lunch warburton pizzas for 7.5 syns and HexA

Dinner chicken tikka bites from iceland (have syns but I'm not sure how many?) Bulgar wheat and salad

Yesterday
B - porridge and berries hexb
L - thin salad and cheese (HexA) sarnie and banana 6 syns
D - chilli lasagne half HexA on top




Now to decide what to have today! Will have to do a mass catch up of diaries but hope you've all had a wonderful week and speak to you as soon as I get round diaries. Xxxx
