Sian's 2015 restart - time to shift the weight once and for all!

I blame the warmer weather Sian.

We have to keep bread in the fridge all year round because it goes mouldy in our kitchen in 2-3 days. Grim!

There's a place in Wales called Mold isn't there? Xx

340ml malt vinegar
1 tbsp English mustard powder
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp mild curry powder
A pinch of turmeric
2 tbsp artificial sweetener
1 tbsp pickling spices
1 level tbsp cornflour

Put all veg in a large bowl and add the sea salt, mix well and cover and leave to marinate overnight.
Drain and rinse veg under running cold water and pat dry with kitchen towel. Put 312 ml of vinegar into a large pan and add the mustard powder , ginger, curry powder, sweetener, turmeric , pickling spices and veg. Bring to boil and then simmer for 10 mins or until just tender.

I'm loving the sound of this! And random fact, I went to Tesco in Mold on my way to Rhyl last year lol x
 
Lol! I've clearly become an american recently, what with me forgetting the u in mould. Oops! xx

We will let u off, just don't start saying pants and sidewalk lol x
 
Morning all! Just a quick post as I'm running a bit late, oops! 2.5lb off for me this week...I'm a bit disappointed with that as it was showing more of a loss earlier in the week, but I guess I know that I don't lose weight quickly. If I can average 2lb a week I'll have lost 1 stone by the holidays which would be great!

I'll catch up with all the diaries later...hope you all have a fab day! Xx

Hi hun !!!

That's a brill loss well done !!!

I'm a late hater too! It doesn't sit well with my OCD! I'd rather be 10mins early than 1min late! X
