t the end of the tunnel - it's LIGHTER

[BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger]

Welcome to our third thread of chat and healthy eating.

I'm Bitter and still have a few pounds to lose because i do too much of the former and not enough of the latter!

Mmmm.. chilli and rice, I have random veg in my fridge that would make a good veggie chilli...

presumably CF is well and truly sacked off now there's BSNN in the frame?

I've got ingredients for sweet potato veggie burgers, but can't get a start on it till DH gets home as I left the recipe book in the car. Oops, as though I can figure out what to do, I don't remember any of the quantities!

hope your DS is better soon SAF

best of british for tomorrow Alice!

saf . you could always go a bit pastel - only wooden toys, no soft play at all next time round? soft plays are the devil's work. you have to spend squillions to get in, then squillions on coffee/cake/mags to tolerate being in them. and the food is usually both grim and overpriced.

Hello, having 5mins while DD is parked in front of the telly and dinner is cooking.

I actually like the soft play places i have been to, mostly because they are small, and DD is so independant i can just sit back with a magazine and listen out for any whinging

Have made a huge lasagne for dinner that i am hoping will do friday night too (DD and DH can have pizza tomorrow) bags are packed, had a little spree in M&S food on 'essential' items (posh fruit juice, yummy cheese twists, snacky cakes for babysitters etc)

Evening all. DC in bed, I have a cold beer. Sweet alcohol numbs the pain.

Saf, I must apologise again for the terrible behaviour of DS. We have had A Talk.

saf - defo do the 3 X 5 hours. as that means less nursery runs to do, a better chunk of time to yourself, and the freedom to take off for the day with DS if you want during termtime.

double - I have a solution for sweet substitutes - next time do carrot cake or flapjacks. as that's even kind of healthy, what could be better than carrots and/or oats

sweet potato things in oven - doubt DS will touch it, so will probably do him some pasta or baked beans or something... (DS is the fussiest eater known to man....)
