You did better in Asda than Company Shop today @bubbs. You always seem to be there at the right time. 👍
I think socialising is the hardest part of SW @milann. I think your best bet is to try and keep gains to a minimum, choose as wisely as you can and then have a run at it 100 % when you get quiet times. You did well to just have a small gain. 😊
I'm so envious of your coming trip to France @joedenise. We're so looking forward to our holiday and hope to have more now that the building works and DH's surgery are out of the way. 🤞
Almost derailed today as DH's sister and her husband came unexpectedly. DH wanted to go out for lunch but we ended up in the local garden centre where they do JPs. 😁
I had tuna so some syns in the mayo and some coleslaw with the salad but otherwise fine.

Morning all, agree about the weather! It's really cloudy and so much cooler than it has been over the last few weeks. Done a machine load of washing and hung it out on the line to dry as there's a bit of a breeze so should dry OK.
I cut out a dress on Tuesday and made a start of sewing it together yesterday - it's at least in one piece but can't do any more until I buy a zip for it so will need to try and get out today to get that. Also need to buy a zip for a pair of DH's trousers - took them into a place to have the zip replaced and they've made a right pig's ear of it so might as well have a go myself with a zip the right colour! They've put in a white zip on a pair of beige trousers and it looks absolutely awful!
Definitely an early bird posting today @bubbs! Fantastic bargains from Asda - don't think I've ever been in a shop that early!!!
Today's plan:
B - breakfast hash - P; S; F
L - ham salad sandwich - HEB; P; S; 2
D - cottage pie, veg - P; S; F
HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - Mayo 2
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, not had a chance to post with RL getting in the way!
It’s absolutely gorgeous weather here (you don’t hear that a lot from a Scottish person 🤣🤣).
Was on plan up until yesterday. Walked to a friends house for lunch and refused a glass of wine as I’m trying to cut out alcohol. Food was already plated - quiche, cold meat, coleslaw, potato salad, salad leaves in an oily dressing, grated cheese, some deli bits 🙈 She then handed me a huge bowl of strawberries and ice-cream covered in cream 😳. She knows deserts are not really my thing, especially cream, but I picked out the strawberries and ate half of the ice-cream leaving the rest. No idea on syns. I’m writing yesterday off!
Today, I’ve had coffee and banana for breakfast as it’s too warm to eat, there’s tuna or ham salad sandwich for lunch and dinner is haddock in breadcrumbs, chips, peas, carrots, sweetcorn. Counting four syns for homemade breadcrumbs.
Have a good day everyone.

Like @joedenise, I've never been in a shop that early @bubbs. So it's true that the early bird catches the worm! 🤣
Good luck with changing the trouser zip @joedenise. I haven't put a zip in for years. I used to do lots of dressmaking when my girls were younger but latterly just soft furnishings and hand sewing. I've got the seat pad covers all cut out for my kitchen chairs so maybe you'll inspire me to get on with it.
It's cooler here but still a nice day, enjoyed my walk this morning.
I'm sure you'll be fine after that lunch @Jellybaby. You must have heaps of spare syns if you're not drinking any alcohol.🤔
Today's plan-
B- HEB porridge, HEA milk, berries (S), banana (F)
L- Spanish omelette (P,S,F), pickles (S)
D- savoury mince (P,S), mash (F), veg (S)
Syns- 0

@maman - I got a zip for DH's trousers but couldn't get one for my dress. Looks like we're going to have to go to Ramsgate or Hythe as they both have very good fabric/haberdashery shops. We've only got the place I went to today which to be honest was pretty useless - the girl serving didn't even know what an invisible zip is!
Have sorted out the zip in DH's trousers, was really awkward - I'm sure the last time I did a fly zip it was easier than replacing one which had been put in wrong (by so called professionals!) but at least it's done and DH is pleased his trousers are wearable again.
I've got to move a button on another pair of his trousers - I sewed it on in the wrong place when I sewed it on when it got really loose. I thought it went on the inside of the waistband before the hook and bar fitting the same as my trousers but no, these are the opposite way round.
Have to admit I got inspired to do some more sewing after reading a thread on here the other day where someone has just bought themselves a new machine!

Had a trip around your island today @joedenise. Got horribly lost trying to get to Stones GC with Mum - she doesn’t drive and has no sense of direction so was no use at all! Found it eventually! Food okayish. Pub Quiz tonight and snacks were consumed - second AGAIN. At least we are consistent 😊

Morning all, bit brighter this morning than it was yesterday. That made me laugh @Coxy11 that you got horribly lost on the island! It's not exactly the biggest place, is it? Stones is tiny now compared with how big it was 25 years ago when we moved here.
I was looking online yesterday for haberdashery shops last night and saw there was one in Faversham but don't think I've ever seen it when I've been down there and wondered whether you know where it is @Coxy11 seeing as you live near there? More likely to get to Faversham than either Ramsgate or Hythe in the next couple of weeks as it's not as far!
I weighed this morning and am pleased to say that I have managed to lose all the weight plus 0.1lb that I put on while we're away so am now 0.1lb lower than I was before our holiday! Still 1.5lb above top end of target range but at least that 2lb has gone. Just need to continue sticking to plan until we go away again!
Good news that your DH's op has been moved forward a day @bubbs - one less day to worry about it. You've got an amazing number of stickers - makes my few look pathetic, LOL!
Today's plan:
B - mushroom omelette - P; S
L - toasted cheese sandwich, pickles - HEA2; HEB; S
D - Fakeaway KFC, chips, corn on the cob, beans, salad - P; S; F
HEA1 - milk
HEA2 - cheese
Syns - may have a couple of G&Ts this evening 6?
Have a good day everyone.
