The battle of the Bubble

[bubble77]

Morning! Hoping for a better day today. Got a sore head, bruised 1/2 forehead, bit fragile but got to get the day going.
Im at work this morning, but will have to do the most limited I think. Might sit myself in book corner, thats the least energetic activity.
I was meant to have made a batch of mixed bean curry last night for lunches, but couldn't so who knows whats for lunch today.
Dont like messing up plans!
Anyway have a good day every1.

the 'Like' didn't appear so here's my home made one 'LIKE'

Good morning hun,
I know exactly what you mean about getting the house spic and span. I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning and my daughter came home from school with her friend and voila there's biscuit crumbs everywhere, sticky fingers all over my tv stand and the place looks trashed! You would think that we would learn and stop tidying / cleaning before they have their friends round
Hope you have a good day.xx

Hi - I'm really enjoying ur thread so I've subscribed.

U mentioned u wanted others to comment - so hope it's ok to suggest using a stock cube or 2 in ur shepherd's pie next time to save syns - u could also add some herbs and a bit of flour if u want to thicken the gravy. Look forward to reading the rest of ur weight loss journey!

Hi Upndown

thank you for subscribing, the more the merrier. I really love my minimins family makes me feel Im not alone. :family2:

Ive noticed your posts about and you are doing so well. You should be so very proud. I would have liked my stone award by now but I haven't had a gain so I am thankful for that. Trying not to have a deadline as thats what always lets me down.

As I am going along I am finding ways of saving syns as you said earlier stock is a major saviour. Sometimes I just cook things the way I have always done out of habit, thats what I need to change habits.

Anyway hun good to see you here and please feel free to comment wherever you wish. Good luck in your journey. x
