Well done Preston! you certainly are using your bike a lot - you'll wear the tyres out!

Thanks for the laughs about the soup Diane and Preston. I was in Tesco and got a bargain large bag of peas in the pod for 70 pence - so now I just need the courgettes to be on offer and we are all set for the delivery men calling this week!!

[Diane65]

I'm going to have to get off my lazy arse and actually make biggin's soup tonight! Don't worry, I'll make it a point to try the improved version too, Preston! I do however, have a sneaking feeling I'm gonna do a Diane and pop in a couple of cubes of crushed garlic!

Can I just say, you guys rock!!! I love how the peeps on the WW thread are a wee family!! Your enthusiasm, caring, support & encouragement for each other definitely warms the cockles!! Yet another aspect of why FMUK is such a fab community!!!

I could have brought some down with me tomorrow as I have loads but my bag is already full of picnic stuff and I agree that everyone on here is brilliant and I am so fortunate to have met a lot of them in real life Everyone of them has seen me stuffing my face hence always on here

It makes me smile thinking of Biggins' courgette and pea soup being made up and down the UK bringing happiness to the delivery drivers on the way My DD was shaking her head when I was telling him all about it

I know that I'm a bit premature but here is my menu for tomorrow as up at the crack of dawn:

Belvita biscuits and a yoghurt (300 calories) on my train from Manchester to Sheffield
Ham salad sandwich for lunch (300 calories) on my train from Sheffield to St Pancras (no direct trains tomorrow morning plus eating to save time when I get off so will eat as late as possible otherwise starving)
Pizza Express for dinner apparently a flash one in Richmond Padana Leggera (under 500 calories) Semi Freddo Reale (167 calories with a black coffee) I will drink loads of water all day.

I will do plenty of walking tomorrow as doing a spot of retail therapy with DD and then going to Kew Gardens (half price with my Art Pass) with my good friend Jeanelle followed by a guided tour of Richmond - never been before so really excited now.

Monday I will start with Belvita biscuits and a black coffee - I know it's not the most nutritious but it will be less calories than going for breakfast in the hotel plus cheaper especially as I got the room for £20 (thanks to Tilly for the post ) it defeats the purpose of a cheap trip. The whole trip has only cost £38 for my DD and myself so having it as an extra treat (they will be few and far between from the middle of September when I'm helping with University funds )
FMUK picnic for lunch plus lots of walking with MrGlass around Greenwich so that can be my exercise for the day (we are going into the Cutty Sark etc I don't mean he is having me on some sort of training regime frogmarching me around Greenwich for the whole day (I hope not )).

Hope you enjoy whatever you're celebrating jojojoanne Be good everyone and keep up the good work - I see we have the new Chris Hoyle on our thread

Maybe that's who Diane meant, Moggers!

He looks like he's shed a bit of weight since I last saw a photo of him!!

Bet that was music to your ears - Sir Chris Hoy!!

Open your window Preston and have a good sniff - smell it? That's my Courgette, pea and mint soup with feta cheese. Took me ages to shell the peas - will use frozen ones the next time. I shut the window again quickly as don't want all the neighbours queueing up begging for a bowl.

It was, Biggins, .........right up until the point where I realised that Diane really meant Chris Moyles

It smells delicious Biggins - just like a summer's day!! Do you know, even though I didn't use peas in my soup this time - I remember making fresh pea and mint soup (no courgettes) last year to get rid of a massive glut of really short-dated podded peas that I had b*ght cheap. You've just reminded me what a long time unpodding them actually takes and how little volume of peas were actually created compared to the huge pile of discarded pods. No wonder some folk turn the pods into wine - They do don't they? I'm sure that I haven't just imagined that.

[biggins]

Yes you can make wine out of the discarded pea pods - but I'll give that a miss and just b*y from Tesco - less effort and most probably a better taste.

I was well pleased with the way the soup has turned out and Hubby even said it smells good - praise indeed!! He says he might try some although he doesn't like courgettes.

Now pea pod wine......

[Diane65]

I must have been on Moggers pea pod wine. I was reading an article about Chris Moyles at the same time as posting - so sorry Preston1990 I'm officially a muppet You lovely people are hilarious. First the soup saga and now this.
