Posted the list for easy reference.

I love peanut butter AND I love sprouts!!

Am I the only Monday weigher-inner left? I lost another 2lbs. I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment. Fingers crossed it will last another month as I want to be 12st (or less!) for DD's birthday. I was 11st 8 just before I got pregnant, lost 6lbs before finding out I was pregnant and then another 4 when I had morning sickness (and survivied on cheese & pickle sandwiches and apples) so was down to 10st 12 but went whizzing up to 15st whilst pregnant .

Bebe - bean chilli sounds nice. What's the recipe?

Blondes - I think I need you to come and stay! Whilst I can get DD to sleep for 7.30 its then anyone's guess what might happen next. She used to sleep through but not any more. At the moment, I think its mainly due to teeth - bless her.

GT - I buy a lot of second hand stuff for DD but from a local community website rather than eBay. I'm not sure I actually save any money as I think I just buy more than I would do if I was buying stuff new. I do love a bargain! As its local, I can take a look at it before actually buying it. I've bought everything from stairgates to a maclaren buggy to a little tikes thing which I'm keeping for her birthday.

hmmmmmmmmmm weird list of dislikes

i love squid as does babs tho hate turkish delight and mushromms and raisins and sprouts

i made yummy low fat shepherds pie for kids tea and am now scoffing it with huge pile of carrots and courgette :)

Big congrats to Murtette - amazing loss, you go girl!!

My DC hate mushrooms although I lurve them.
How can anyone dislike raisins - they are small and inoffensive methinks.

Blondes - your supper sounds yum

well done murtette, FAB weight loss and yes im happy to come and sleep train your dd :)

tea was yummy, cant beleive was low fat

Morning all

murtette well done on your 2lb!!

blondes that shepherds pie sounds good, but I'd make mine with quorn mince.

How's the slinkies today?

Congratulations Murtette - great effort :)

I hate mushrooms and peppers - the two things I refuse point blank to eat. I have decided that at the age of 49, I am not going to learn to like them - although I will tolerate morels (and have like something with truffles in it ). I can pick mushrooms out but peppers I hate with a passion because they infuse much more throughly when cooked (OK to pick out if raw) - so that things that have been cooked touching them are tainted.

Blondes - you've reminded me, I have some shepherd's pie base in the freezer. Must get it out for later in the week after we;ve finished the cold roast chicken. It's my "hidden veg" special (with hidden carrots, leeks, tomatoes, onions and spinach in it) which I top with a potato, turnip and parsnip mash. It's very tasty! :)

RatherBeOnThePiste - I bet I could convert you to the rice pudding I make: Danish Christmas Rice pudding (it's what they serve for thier Christmas dinner). It's more like a pudding risotto - not baked - therefore no skin. You boil up the pudding rice with the milk then stir in some sugar and butter before adding chopped almonds and one whole almond and then folding in whipped cream. It's oftne served with balck cherries in syrup but I like it plain. Whoever gets the whole almond (no fishing allowed) gets the "almond prize" (in our house, a Christmas mug). Of course, there are no calories whatsoever in it .

GT - you need to insipre me to start counting calories again in Foodfocus - I jsut haven't managed to get myself back into the "zone".

The good news is that I have still been Shredding. After the weekend off (too much else on - including doing a whole load of baking for the Rugby Minis Festival. The Home backing stand was a new innovation and we made about £250! :)) I did Day 9 yesterday and Day 10 today - both at Level 2. [proud] OK, I'm only using 1kg weights and the press-ups and jumps in the plank position are extremely somewhat small - but at least I've done it!

pretty That rice pudding sounds fantastic

I seem to working my way into the zone again, it seems to take me a while to get into it. I remember when we first started the thread I decided I was going to eat x4 per day, that way it didn't seem too long until the next meal.

wow at raising £250!!! I am having a cake and coffee morning next week as I have to raise £150 in sponsers for the RSPCA, expecting to raise a bit as well as my sponsers.

Recommendation for the cake stall: if you have one of the tiered cake stand things, then it really makes all the difference.

One of the mums - who insists she can't cook (says her first attempts she had to throw away and then her sister gacve her some advice) made some the most beautiful cup cakes (all fancy pink swirled icing with lustre on top), that looked brilliant on her cake stand. As they had sold, we kept the cake stand replenished with other cup/fairy cakes: it really showed them off well and made it easy to sell them for 50p a cake.

She had also beatifully pre-packaged some of the cakes and also biscuits in cellophane and curly ribbon - which we sold for 70p.

Picutres 3, 4 and 5 on this are of the home baking stand (the biscuits in the foreground of picture 4 are the those ginger, spicy biscuits I've mentioned before that I dh likes so much). Most of her really fancy cakes had been sold by the time the pitcures were taken but you can see the fancy pre-packaged cakes/biscuits in Picture 5)

I could give you the recipe for the Danish Christmas Rice pudding if you wanted to be tempted serve it to the family

well done pretty bird on still shredding and also raising money

im doing a charity creche on friday for mcmillian and sure the odd cake may be eaten

also at schools coffee mcmillian cake tomorrow and will try and only eat one cake but happy to buy lots

still trying to wheel back points from weekend - really dont think i will lose this week but hope to sts rather than gain (im still dreaming of the vension pie and pastry )

made YUMMY soup today and was ZERO points

basically a carrot/onion/celery, 2 tins of chopped toms, dash of worcester sauce and 2 litres of chicken stock and simmered and blended a little (chunky soup is yum)

b cherrios and skim 3p
l o point soup and chicken breast 2.5

and again not sure about tea, trying to defrost our 2 freezers so eating our way through them - giving dh the fat stuff and i eat the allowed stuff

Dh has just made me a square sausage roll with ketchup for lunch I was supposed to get him bacon but got square sausage instead. Oops.

Yummmm

and you all accuse ME of having a sausage fetish!!!

He did clearly say he wanted bacon, but I heard square sausage.

Oops.

what is a square sausage?!

piste, its obvious, its a sausage that is square

if i rem correctly, iceland sell them and there are VER bad in fat/calories

It's a Scottish speciality: Lorne or square sausage

Best "dry" fried (gets rid of some of the fat ) and served in a morning roll (a sort of slighty crispy bap that is only "good" on the morning that it is baked - hence its name) with ketchup (my choice) or brown sauce (dh's choice).

Also served as part of a Full Scottish Breakfast with black pudding, fried eggs, potato scone and bacon.

Very healthy

Well. You learn something new every day.
I have been to Scotland, to Edinburgh and Inverness to be precise, but I have never once heard or seen a square sausage!!!

In Tokyo they have square watermelons. Same shape just more fruity!

Bet the SS is nice though.....

Evening flange! :o

Square sausage sounds delicious! But very very naughty!

Well done Murtette!

Pretty - well done on cake sale, thats quite a lot of money to raise from cakes!

Blondes - I really want pie....I love pie, was it really yummy?!

Have been reasonably good today.

b- OJ & lf Yoghurt
l - ryvita, lf philly & hm tomato chutney, 3/4 apple
d - chicken & vegetable soup, bread roll & 5 hm potato wedges

have, however, eaten 4 chocolates that MIL brought round, but was well below my calorie target for today so figured I was allowed Oh and did eat about 2 teaspoons worth of hm lemon curd from the saucepan when I made it I had to taste test it!! :o

It is very sinful nice!

But I did resist the temptation of all that lovely homebaking (see the link I posted earlier to see how virtuous I had to be!) - except for licking the bowls of those biscuits and cakes that I was responsible for making

Oh yes, I licked the bowl of the cake I just made for playgroup! But those calories don't count coz it hasn't been cooked! :o

The pie was fab

must take mr blondes there for dinner :)

there is something sooooooo yummy about raw cake mixture. MUCH better than cooked

I had a salmon fishcake and beans and o point veg for tea 5p

I visited a friend and her 5 week old today and so her house was full of cakes and other goodies that previous visitors had brought her and I was sent home with the flapjack that I'd made so I think that today I've had tiffen, a fairy cake and 2 flapjacks (plus all of the bits I ate whilst making it) but had a very low point lunch and dinner to try and repair the damage.

Pretty - well done on making so much money. I think I need to find a coffee morning to invite myself to on Friday.

Morning

Murtette - I've had tiffen in Costa, my favourite! That cake sounds irresistable.

I am having my coffee morning 7th October, I am planning to cook Nigella Lawson's chocolate fudge cake, it is massive, a real beast of a cake.

I had a Macmillan coffee morning last year and made about £40, hoping to do the same.

Blondes - Thanks for no-point soup recipe. I had covent garden leek and potato. When you've got a minute how many points is 150 cals/3.6g sat fat? About 4?

Pretty - When I make my first foray onto Ebay - I will look for one of those cake stands! Home baking looks fab.

Gosh why i am i so crap at posting ????? I never have time i am now a soccer mum !!! Very quick question im going to zumba tomorrow night and im sure someone on here does it am i right .

trimmer soup was 3p
