001. The pub crawl last night was a success. I didn't drink much at all (don't look too surprised) as it didn't seem worth wasting my weightwatchers points on it. We ended up staying in the third pub where they had a live band on. It was a really nice chilled out evening, just what I needed!002. Who says you can't eat sausage sandwiches on weightwatchers eh? I've now lost 10.5lbs which isn't too shabby. Ideally I did want to have lost 12lb by Aberdeen (flying out at 7am tomorrow!) but I have had a few cheat days so beggers can't be choosers. Still I am fairly pleased with my progress. My clothes are getting looser and my confidence in clothes is getting larger.
003. Not going to lie, I only dragged the boyfriend to see Bel Ami so I could perve on Robert Pattinson. I got to see his bum so all was good. But the film... Not soo sure what to make of it. I really wanted to like it and I actually do rate R-Patz as a good actor - he's not just a pretty face. He was really good in the dramatic parts but the normals bits I just kept seeing Edwards in pain face, you know that look in Twlight he does all the time? Twilight annoys me as a film (although I have seen ALL of them) and I really don't think it showcases R-Patz talent.
004. I always get into Liverpool Street 45 minutes early for work as if I get the next bus i'm late. Sods law. So to pass the time I always wander around boots and quite often pick up some little treats - don't tell the mother she'll want to up the housekeep ;) These are what I treated myself to this week. I have the grey colour on at the minute, it's lasted so well. Usually mine chip within the hour while this has only just chipped today and it's been on for 3 days.
005.My Harrods glossybox! I was pleased with what I got this month, using the samples for Aberdeen. They've come in handy! However, I don't think it worth all the hype - i've noticed that Glossybox do this a lot but them don't tend to deliver. I completely understand that it's a sample box and i'm completely hanpy with this but by hyping it up people are expecting more. I understand why they are getting backlash. This is my last box as i've decided I want to try another beauty box - had this one for about 6 months. Maybe one more make-up based, any ideas?
001. Finely chop the onion, bacon and red pepper - don't forget to de-seed the pepper!
002. Pop a teaspoon of oil in the pan and add the bacon. Cook it for five minutes- keeps stirring so it doesn't stick to the pan. Then add the onion, pepper and garlic, stir for another five minutes.
003. Add the paprika and rice. Cook and stir the dish for two minutes and then add the wine. Make sure you keep stirring and cook for another two minutes.
004. Add the stock and stir it all in. Let the dish simmer for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring.
005. Chop the seafood into bite size chunks. You can miss this step out of you choose to get a seafood mix instead of a fish pie mix.
006. Add the peas into the mix and simmer for another five minutes.
007. Add all the seafood and carry on stirring for two to three minutes until the seafood is warmed all the way through.
Bon Appetit! We had ours with mini Weightwatchers garlic baguettes to help fill us up. But to be honest you don't need them! This was so filling and just the right amount of stodge. It didn't feel "healthy" at all. I'm going to try and attempt a chicken and chorizo paella next time. I love stodgy rice dishes!
