Thanks Judy. Like you we all try to help where necessary.
Ended up making a rice bubble slice and some protein balls as well as above.

Hope your cooking day went well Chookie, I'm sure your DD will be very appreciative.
I had my usual craft morning then went to IKEA to get a few odds and ends. I had a really good look, probably because I went on my own. I was looking at there spatulas and a lady standing next to me was picking out quite a few. She asked if I had a Thermomix and then proceeded to tell me that she was told that Ikeas spatulas were excellent. I bought 3 @ $1.95 each.

I am sick of struggling with my weight, so tomorrow I start a new approach with the help of a hypnotist. It will be intresting to see how it goes.  I have already started watching my diet (with not much success yet as I LOVE food), and also doing some light exercises and trying to walk a bit more.  I very much hope all this works and I lose a couple of clothes sizes and feel better and fitter in the long run.
Cuilidh I too got very sick of struggling with my weight and dieting.
I went to see a registered dietition. It was the best thing I have done. I have an individual plan based on my medical needs, age, life style and food preferences. It is easy too follow and implement and I am being educated as I go. What I like best is that I have good practical support. My weight is slowly and steadily dropping even while on a two week holiday. It is helping to manage my Arthritis symptoms and other minor health issues.
The best thing is I am able to manage it all as I am supported and the plan is monitored, explained and adjusted. It is an investment in my future!
I can highly recommend an accredited dietitian and it is claimable on health insurance.

It does sounds good Bootebethin. I didn't realise it was claim able on health insurance. I'll remember that if I need to consult one.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Judy, thanks for putting the link in for the Tomato, celery and apple soup.
As I selected some mushroom compost for the garden today, this mushroom was hiding underneath. I weighed it on the TMX , 610 g. Just had to share it.
