I see you have stuck with the Avvie

Middle age spread 

Looks like he's reached his Max Axle Load

Anyway talking about gaining weight.  I've been Christmas cooking.

Homemade biscotti and Turkish delight, there is also a panforte that isn't pictured (only because it is still cooling)

My fish pie was simply delish 

Is it a slimming one? if so would you mind passing on the recipe,cheers.

This is what I did tonight - it's based on SW but my own version.

Poach 2/3 haddock (or cod) 1/3 smoked fish - prawns (or I used scallops tonight - in skimmed milk for about 6 or 7 minutes. Lightly boil broccoli, baby corn, asparagus and green beans.

Make a cheese sauce without butter using the milk you poached in and flour/half fat cheese..

Lay the vegetables and fish in a dish and pour over the sauce. Top with a thin layer of mashed potato and grated cheese and bake in the oven for round about 35 mins.

Of course it's much nicer using a creamy cheese sauce and a thick later of mash but .....................it was delicious and I'm acquiring a taste for lower fat recipes.

Cheers for that ,thanks for taking the time much appreciated.

Thanks Soozy  

we are permantly low fat and no added sugar so something new to try is nice ... 

just got my Blondie ticket for Cannock Chase

they went on sale this morning

incase anybody is interested

We went to a wine bar last night where they were doing BOGOF on cocktails.  Which SHOULD have meant we only needed to buy 3 drinks or so but no, we were greedy mares and had 10 cocktails and 3 sambucca then went back to my mates house and drank vodka we also picked up a gay man and took him home with us and made him sing.

I've a headache but as soon as that goes I'll be grand

   how excited are you? 

hahaha... i've been waiting to hear your exploits!  

very

if i had a moon..id be over it

Oh Ells, you do cheer me up.

I suppose there's no need to say 'enjoy!'?      when is it?

your nights out always sound fun 

Last night was great fun MrsH.... there were a lot of staff nights out going on last night so we also got to watch all the shenanigans unfold. The non drinkers who decided to drink, the office sleaze trying it on with everyone....he threw pound coins at my cleavage as if it was a slot machine  cheeky shit.  And the gay singer in the bar who got molested by a crowd of really posh older women.  

He was a right diva though when we went back to my mates house, he moaned and moaned about the music/drinks/company.  He wanted fed too (cheek of him) so I microwaved him a pizza.  I have no idea how long I cooked it for or if it was even edible but he scoffed it anyway.

oh Ellis you took me back a bit then 

good do's and the ones you choose to forget   and hope everyone else does to 

 There's a lot of it captured on camera

I would pay to see it

29th June on a saturday..me, OH,my bro and a couple of punk mates are going..we're camping

should be fun

that awkward moment..before you realise..

LOVE IT!

I bet it'll be fantastic (apart from the camping thing....)

Cinds Didn't she come home though?

Haven't read about this, but maybe she didn't really 'run off'? Maybe she went with their blessings, though they may have been under the impression it was with friends around her own age rather than a teacher, and now the thought of all the potential accusations are just too much for them?

Then again, maybe they new exactly what was what, but somehow thought it wouldn't be exposed and now the thought of all the legal ramifications are just too much for them?

Will we ever know?

Great, the dogs have got the winter vomiting bug.  Sadly, after they spewed everywhere they then pissed everywhere thinking they were in trouble for spewing everywhere.

Poor you.

At Slimming World today .......................I stayed the same - pretty good really - although I have been very, very good I knew the 6 pound weight loss from the week before last (after my stay in hosp) would be hard to maintain.

2 pounds left to get to 2 stone weight loss.

Been out to dinner tonight (was quite good) a fillet steak/salad and just a few chips.

Well done sooz, that's fantastic

i've just booked tickets for the Les Mis film, Jan 12th ... so excited

I think Mr Woo has booked them as a Christmas pressie (around that time) are you going to Leicester Sq? I take your excited and raise you 20

I just KNOW it'll be fab - I've watched the trailer loads.
