Onwards & Downwards: November

[AB Editor]

Good afternoon,

Sorry we're late - but that's because I am covering for ABAuntie.

Here's last month's thread

Did we survive Halloween?

I am off on a holiday shortly, and I am not "beach-body ready", this is a real picture of me:


Anyway, that ship has sailed for this trip in the sun, and I intend to mostly eat as many deep fried sea creatures as possible.

As always, it's difficult to dodge the "events" happening at any time of the year - especially when it comes to convienience. If you're going to a fireworks dusplay this weekend you might want to think about taking something tasty to keep you warm.

Now, it's not the healthiest thing in the world, but this butternut squash soup with chilli is the best thing for standing by a nice bonfire, or staying warm while you wait for someone to finally light the firework and run back at home:

What's your favourite outdoor-warm-food?

Maybe you could help me find the slimming world version of the above?

Either is still going to be better than something from the hotdog van!

.... Or do you all let yourselves go for events like guy fawkes night?

Good morning all again,

Yesterday my one leg was very swollen so after a laser treatment on that knee and a water pill I'm back to normal and have actually lost a bit...ta ra OG and thanks for the tea. What a kind suggestion Wendilla.
