Slimming World weigh in #62 – the one after the holiday…

by StaceyUpdated on May 4, 2016May 4, 2016

I mentioned in my last weigh in update that we were going on holiday last week so there wouldn’t be one, but we’re back now and I’ve been for my post holiday weigh in! The time between weigh in and us going away, I may have let myself slip a little – a bit of cake here, a few crisps there – and didn’t log the syns, naughty. I didn’t log anything on holiday though as I had already decided I was just going to enjoy myself and do EESP until weigh in, when I got back. I did weigh myself when I …

Five men’s shoe styles for summer

by Stacey April 30, 2016April 30, 2016

Never mind the children, but if your husband or partner is anything like mine, then they go through shoes like nobody’s business! I think the main reason for this though, is that he always buys cheap shoes and as he has problems with the arch of his foot, he wears through them really quickly so doesn’t like to buy really expensive ones although I guess they would last longer if they were better quality.

One snack that is really popular in our house is a biscuit, and since I started Slimming World I haven’t eaten them like I used to. Well, unless I’ve been having a particularly bad week that is and I delve into the biscuit barrel… I know I can make Slimming World friendly biscuits but sometimes I just can’t beat the taste of a custard cream. Or a bourbon. A Hobnob maybe. Or, well, any biscuit really, for that matter…

Strawberry cheesecake Eton mess | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

by StaceyUpdated on August 13, 2017April 29, 2016

Okay, so this isn’t an actual cheesecake or Eton mess, but it is quite reminiscent of a mixture of both of them! I just chucked it together the other night when I fancied some dessert, but I couldn’t have fruit & yogurt as I was doing an EESP day so I just got some ingredients from the fridge and cupboard and came up with this. You could of course change the fruit in it, and the flavour of the Hi-Fi bar, but I thought it was really tasty just like this. It takes just five minutes to whip up too, and you could …

Living With a House Full of Boys | Blogger Guest Post

by StaceyUpdated on February 5, 2026April 27, 2016

I have a guest post today from Maria over at Suburban Mum. She is posting about something I am also very familiar with, being the only female in the house – living with a house full of boys! Sometimes I do wonder what it would be like to have another female in the house so that I’m not so outnumbered. Living with a house full of boys can be pretty full on. Here is just a little tongue-in-cheek insight into what it’s like for me.
