The big weigh in…

I am very late writing this so I do apologise, however, what has been nice is the amount of people contacting me to check in on me and see how it’s gone, so thank you! On Friday morning, a day early, I jumped on the scales for the first time in a month. I have…

The last few days

I’ve not had much chance to blog in the last few days, we are brilliantly busy making soups and stews at work and this is the time of year that people tend to come to us looking for future projects so all in all it’s busy. The other thing is I almost don’t know what…

On the home straight

I’ve been blown away by the support for doing this little challenge. From complete strangers emailing me with kind words to friends leaving treats by my back door which really make me happy.

Plant-based shopping

My aim this weekend was to fill my cupboards and fridge with lovely organic, plant-based ingredients and magically turn into Nigella overnight, complete with tidy kitchen and pretty measuring jugs for every size. Clearly, I was living in a New Years Day dream still, the reality was a rather dull trip around Aldi, looking at…
