Hi Boo,
The board presentation was good thank you, I think I made my points and achieved my other goal of setting up a one to one with all key figures. The rest of the day was crazy - again! Some days I love it and some days it really pees me off, but at least the days always fly by! Best of all Mr Pie had cooked a lovely roast chicken dinner when I got home! Bless both Mr Boo and Mr Pie for they are trying hard this week!!
The dogs sound gorgeous - cute names too!

Hiya hun.
Thought I'd pop by and say hi. I'm new to the SW forum and have been enjoying reading through the diaries. Your doing marvelously well considering how busy you've been at work. Mr Pie is wonderful fair play - cooking you dinner bless. They do have their moments don't they lol. Anyway, have a lovely evening.
Hugs

Hello lovely, thanks for popping in, a new visitor is always nice! Mr Pie is a sweetie (most of the time anyway!). He'd done a curry tonight with the left over chicken from yesterday, and now hes asking me what I want tomorrow! I have a really tough 4 months ahead of me in work and his support does make all the difference, bless him. Otherwise it would be so easy to chocolate for just a fast energy fix!
We're in the South Wales Valleys, not far from Aberdare. I love Swansea though - I was talking to another member on here the other night about the delights of Joes Ice cream (sadly she informed me that its 8 syns a scoop so I guess I'll save my favourite turkish delight flavour for a very special occasion!!)
Do you do a diary too? I love reading other peoples, so inspirational. I'll take a look and see if I can see you!
Take care xx

Hi Boo, how you doing - it sounds as though we have both had silly days at work again today - I didn't realise until I left this evening that I'd been in one building without surfacing for fresh air for 11 hours today - not good, not good at all! Roll on the 3 day weekend!

Thanks Roziee honey, lets see if we can make the last few days of May good weight loss ones! I can't believe that we are almost half way through the year -scary where it goes!
Good day here, despite the rush earlier in the week I managed to get everything done and get out early today - just in time for the sun to come out! We made the most of it and had a gorgeous BBQ for tea, it was so nice to be outside again and even better knowing that its a three day weekend!
Food plan: Red
B - pear
L - SW quiche made from 2 eggs, 1/2 pot cottage cheese and bacon. WW yogurt
S - 2 apples
D - potato salad (200g new pots (HEB), el mayo (2 syns), quark, bacon, red onion and 42g lf cheddar (HEA)), steak, spicy chicken and pork loin chop
Fibre plus bar (HEB2), 12.5g rice crackers (2.5 syns)
Milk in tea (HEA2)
Daily syns: 4.5
Weekly syns:10.5
I've saved some syns as having a girly shopping afternoon with friends tomorrow which is bound to involve stopping somewhere for lunch!

Catch ya soon.

Thanks Jules, it was a lovely day (despite the horrendous rain!). I've used all my syns but thats OK as they were saved in advance. I didn't really buy anything today, but it was good to catch up, window shop and then spend almost four hours gossiping over lunch - poor things they were so politely trying to chuck us out so they could shut!
Food plan: Red
B - small gammon steak
L - duck and parmesan salad - this is guestimated but I'm guessing a HEA for the for few shavings of parmesan, 6 syns for oil and 6 syns for the 2 small slices of granary bread
I was very good and only drank water!
D - fish pie - salmon, cod, white sauce (5 syns), potato (2 x HEB), sweetcorn (3 syns)
Later - special K breaks (5 syns), 12.5g rice crackers (2.5 syns)
HEA - milk in tea
Daily syns: 27.5
Weekly syns: 38 (day 3)

Hiya Cherry
Hope you managed to have your bbq, I've just made a chicken curry, it was lovely if I do say so myself!
Mr Boo's birthday went really well thank you, we ended up going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in 3D it was really good. We would have loved to have done more but as Mr Boo is on long term sick leave our money is so tight at the min
Anyhoo, hope your day is going well and your resisting temptation, catch up with you later Boo xx
