Its sunday again
WOW time really does fly and another Sunday is here again!
I have had another messy drunken weekend, crazy i don't go out much all the nights out seem to come at once!!
The 1st picture is a text into the Metro newspaper, it really tickled me! sorry if its not your sense of humor!
Friday night was my 1st proper night out with work, i stayed in the Holiday in with 2 of the girls although we all sit together we come under different managers so all got the afternoon off!!!
How Swish
Oh yes we had an Executive room and boy was it huge! sofa, massive desk and TC, 2 double beds and a single put up bed!
All for Free!!! even better. And when we got back Jess wanted to raid the mini bar chocolate, just as she was about to we spotted a big bowl of chocolate, crisps and fizzy water with a note from her Aunt saying she hoped we had a good night and this was to help our hangovers! awww bless and saved us some cash on the minibar!!! should have taken a photo of that!
I just wonder what the poor hotel staff member who delivered it, we know it wasn't her aunt as she had to finish work early! our room looked like the aftermath of a festival, we were only there for one night!
Love this Cocktail Menu, good sentiments!
And this is us girlies! me in the middle!
I work near Hey Little Cupcake and have been in once but they had a popup shop in the new Oasis shop in the Arndale and i went in and nothing would have fitted me so i treated myself to a Sorrento Cello cupcake! it was trés delish!
So cute!!!
safe to say i haveb't been on plan, but i went to Tesco before and only bought healthy stuff!
gonna have Basa with lemon and lemon thyme for tea with roast new potatoes and roast veg, and chicken with rice for tomorrows dinner
Still haven't decided if i'm gonna wi tomorrow or not. i''ll defo go to WI as i weigh everyone but whether i get on those scales or not is a different story!
i have also been eying new phones i hate my phone its pants and the screen is dodgy on it! but don;t know what i want (not an iphone!)
and what network and what plan its a minefield! oh well i might just stick to my purple hunk of tesco mobile crap for a while longer!

We went to Dimitri's on Deansgate for lunch and i had Chicken Kebab and Patatas Bravas and we shared a jug of Sangria, it was very nice, after a quick trip round primark it was back to the Hotel to get changed and have a few drinkies!

good times bad time
Over the past few days i have been feeling blue, decided to keep it to myself but last night posted a message on twitter and got some lovely replies so thank you!
It could be hormones but the lesson i have learnt is this is my journey no one elses! it doesn't matter how much anyone else weighs or what they have lost or what dress size they are! i am who i am and only i can do anything about that!
today i didn't stick to plan, i couldn't face my weetbix this morning, so i had some chilli cake instead (my bit was without chilli :0( ) a chocolate brownie, 2 morning coffee biscuits, then at dinner time i didn't want my dinner i wanted bread or similar so i got a wrap from tesco it was only when i sat down i realised it wasn't a light choices one but after queuing for 15 mins i ate it and it was nice, didn't dare look at calories or fat and to make it worse i'd bought some fancy crisps as a treat oh dear why do we have to treat ourselves with food!
But tomorrow is another day and going to be filled with food and booze!
For my tea i made this!
Pork and Potato curry and it was lush but a bit spicy!
2 small red onions
half a pack of button mushrooms
2 fresh tomatoes
a handfull of sugersnaps
and half a jar of pasatta and some water
fresh chilli
Spices
some mild chilli powder
medium curry powder
mixed herbs
pepper
Worcestershire sauce
garamasala
and fried it all up together!
it nearly blew my head of so i mixed in some total natural yogurt and it was easier to eat!!!

Mid Week Catch up
Hello,
How is everyone!
Can you believe its Wednesday already?!
It was last weekend when i last posted properly, hoping not to repeat myself but on another computer tonight so i might duplicate pictures but everyone likes pictures right?
I've had a quick scan of my last post and it just looks like night out pictures! so i'll begin from last Thursday day time.
When i got to work this was on my desk
Inside was this!
As i have mentioned before i am doing the shine half marathon with my lovely Friend Kim who i met on WW forum many moons ago!
we have a group donation page http://www.sponsormetoshine.org/fatfairiesrevenge
and i have my own http://www.sponsormetoshine.org/stefij.
The T-shirt has arrived and all i can say is i'm glad i've lost some weight its not too tight except round the neck i might be cutting that off!
needed more chilli in my opinion next time gonna put a whole chilli in it
Pork Chop, SW chips, tinned carrots (ewww but i ate them) and mushy peas!
We normally have PC with jacket spud and tinned tomatoes but my mum had been past a chippy and everyone was having chips peas and gravy and she decided she wanted it so she inflicted it on all of us!
I mixed half a can of DC, with 4 table spoons of Passata, loads of black pepper and mixed herbs and a few large drops of Worcestershire sauce.
I then frylight fried my cubed pork till sealed
Mondays Wi i lost ½lb was well chuffed after Thursday meal / wine out and fridays binge!
I'm off out again on friday http://www.dimitris.co.uk/LunchTime.pdf this is the dinner menu i can safely say i won't be having the Beef in Red Wind!

Its weekend
hello
best laid plans and all that.
Thursdsay food wise i was pretty good! Wine wise well put it this way my glass never emptied all night and it was a big old glass!
free food and free drink on a school night = a really bad idea.
But compared to some i was ok! but thats another tale and not decided if i'm going to tell it yet!
What i think makes the drunkness worse is that we started drinking at 5pm and i was home before half 10!
Miso Soup the challenge was who would try it? who would eat Tofu! i did it was horrible!
This salad came with it, one of the girls tried it and the look on her face was enough for me to not touch it anymore
Our Table was seperate from the main room but we still had fun!
Preparing the spuds to chuck at us!
We had these chicken roll things as well and they were very nice, it was an odd set up as the only choice we got was meat, seafood or veggie, well there is a big difference, i don't eat Lamb, other people only ate chicken but didn't like seafood so put the meat option.
Time to catch the spuds, i was rubbish 3 attempts and no success!
i love this picture!
The Egg for the Egg Fried Rice
Et Voilá
The main course was Duck, don't know know what the sauce is
Pudding, i didn't like but others loved it
This pic was taken about 8pm look how out of focus this is! hehe that is the level my glass stayed at all night! ops
I had such a good time and i am going out again with them all next friday! this was us saving ourselves for the big payday night out (i'm dreading it and loving it at the same time!)
Everyone at work seems really nice and i feel like i've never worked anywhere else. i said that to my boss and asked if that was a good or bad thing and i told him i couldn't answer as i didn't know.
i was so rough at work but everyone else was the same everytime my boss came over i was practically comatose and he made me jump, i need to remember i'm still in my probation period as well!
food on friday consisted of 1,000,000 syns not even going to mention it as it was awful!

Wednesday
Half way through the working week! and its come round soooo quickly!
time flies and all that!
After posting a few syn related tweets i decided to invest in the new 2011 food directory and apart from not having Nandos syn values in its pretty good!
On the way home i decided to go through the superfree and free sections to get some ideas and then decided to make a list of things that surprised me as being free.
Now not to appear thick and i have been doing SW for some time but some stuff i've either been told has syns or i already knew and it shocked me and i thought i'd share. i think i might have been depriving myself of some things:
Think the moral of the tale is even if you know what you are doing is it pays to re-read you books.
Not to get stuck in a rut and try new things. i am going to make another list this time a shopping list maybe 4 one for each supper market, Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda and Aldi then when i go to each one buy some of the new free foods!
Food today as been bob on so far!

Now not to appear thick and i have been doing SW for some time but some stuff i've either been told has syns or i already knew and it shocked me and i thought i'd share. i think i might have been depriving myself of some things:
- Passata Free on all plans - this shouldn't be a surprise as tomato is a fruit but i guess i've been doing EE for so long i didn't expect it.
- Dried Mushrooms - not sure if all makes and types but i expected syns - although not something i would eat
- Water chestnuts and Bamboo shoots
- Aldi Be Light Fat Free Cottage Cheese with pineapple
- Savoury Rice / Pasta and Sauce - I eat a lot of Savoury rice but only since doing SW, i've always associated packet stuff like that as junk. Couldn't eat a pasta and sauce if you paid me but Rice i Like
- Heinz Meat free tinned Raviolli - wow i love this stuff not had it for about 4 years!
- Sainsburys Be Good to Yourself Beetroot salad
- Tripe - i have never eaten this nor will i but really free if you like it wow eat away same for Kidneys etc
- Birdseye Simply Salmon with Garlic and herb crust and the one with Lemon and herb Butter - Crust, butter syns surely? not according to the book
- Pastrami - i bloody love this Nom Nom Nom and i looked it up not so long a go as people kept telling me it syn'd but its Free.
- Iceland in general - there are quite a few free things, none of which i fancy as all in sauces and glazes but if you like that check it out
- Tesco frozen BBQ Salmon burgers
- Tesco Chicken Tikka Fillets
- Tesco peri peri mini fillets
- Tesco Meat free chicken burgers / grills - my consultant told me about these a while ago and they are fit!
- Tesco Lemon and coriander Cous Cous
- Seafood Sticks - i HATE THEM EWWWW but they are free! eat if you like, do they contain any seafood and do they have any nutritional benefits?
- Very Lazy, Chillis, Garlic and Ginger - i have avoided these since on SW back in business!!!
Think the moral of the tale is even if you know what you are doing is it pays to re-read you books.
