Menu of the day:

Breakfast
2 crumpets with butter
Lunch
Ww chicken hotpot and a strawberry andvanilla mousse
Dinner
6 millies cookies

Yeah just ignore that last one...

EDIT: OK it only ended up being 4 millies cookies(3 raspberry and white and 1 praline and hazelnut), and then a few bits of my bfs meat stack baguette cause he was ramming it in my mouth for a rude joke

Had an apple when I got back in from Ted to try and even it out

Love bargains!

Just back from our trip. Fish and chips were fabulous as usual but we were about to sit on a seat at the harbour when the rain started so had to sit in the car instead. Had a good day out but didn't get walking as much as would have liked a it was dry, then poured rain, dry, then came down in torrential rain. What a summer!! Feel so sorry for all the school kids on holiday.

Preston I used to go to Tesco's after 8pm at night and get a load of things for next to nothing. We moved house and it is too far to walk to now so only get bargains if they have anthing reduced during the day. Love bargains!

Your day sounds lovely, there is nothing better than eating chips in the open shame about the weather

I too love a bargain - I never waste food so I come up with some weird and wonderful recipes. I would rather save my money to go on a nice trip.

Rawr_xoxo I could now eat a Millie's cookie - just waiting for my rice to cook to go with my vegetable curry a la Preston style.

he's the one who's trying to get a six-pack!! (unlike his mum who has a 'party seven' - the oldies on here will remember them!!)

I'd rather have a bag of chips than a six pack. Might have to chuck some chips in the oven as I can't stop thinking about them now! Just googled your party 7 - 7 pints of ale?!?!?!?! Speechless!

Incidentally, we too ate what we were given. Allergies etc aside, I often marvel at my friends who said their mothers used to bend to their will. Feels like it's very different these days, but surely when we were kids (80s) we all still did what our mums said? My friend, C, doesn't eat soooo many things, won't eat sauces, tomatoes... so much. When we worked together, I made it my mission to fix her, and it was going so well until I moved cities...

PS no shame in b*ying reduced stuff. Why p*y more than you have to?!

Just met a friend who had lost 6lbs on the Dukan diet in 6 weeks for a wedding, she is a fit healthy 30 year old but due to the lack of balance in the diet her lovely hair has started to snap so has had to have it cut fairly short. She did the diet in April/May so its the new hair that was in the growth phase that has been damaged and now 2 months later the evidence is there, so any diet/ weight loss plan that suggests you need to take any supplements whatsoever is obviously not nutritionally balanced. Its a different ball game if someone is nutritionally compromised due to a medical condition.
Rant over - I do have a bee in my bonnet re fad diets and this just proof of what damage can happen in just 6 weeks.

That's really sad! Especially since so many people on this thread have lost the same with a balanced diet...

Was this for her own wedding?

No she was a bridesmaid for her best friend and she looked stunning on the photos its just 2 months later that the evidence is there. She's a beautiful person (both inside and out) and I was quite choked up especially as she knows that its her own fault.
All of us on this thread really do it by having a balanced diet, we all have different menus, lifestyles etc and we all look out for each other along the way.

I agree with you actually jojojoanne that children shouldn't count calories, I guess that's what I meant by kids being impressionable. I think teachers / parents have to be careful & aware of eating disorders etc, but yeah they should definitely learn about salt / sugar / fat content.

I usually go to my local Tesco around 7.30/8pm & get great bargains!! I spent £5.30 last week on one shop & got a whole trolley full of fruit, veg, meat & flowers.....bargain!

Anakin, what you said about you'd rather have chips than a six pack, made me laugh :) & also reminds me of a phrase I once heard (I'm not sure where from): "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". Although, I disagree with this phrase - think it should read "slim" not "skinny", seems to be sending out the wrong message.

nothing tastes as good as skinny feels - was Kate Moss' moto I believe.

It was Kate Moss and there was loads of hype about it on the pro anorexia websites I do agree with children being impressionable and you have to be so careful of what you say. Rainey sorry I din't see your post.

They should bring back my jigsaw plate from 1970 - I can see it now the chicken/fish etc, fitted next to the potatoes and the veg were the same shape as you had to have 2 of them on your plate otherwise it wouldn't fit. It looked better if you had 2 different coloured veg. There wasn't many pasta/ rice pieces as that was a bit exotic
