Date Night and Bad Food!

It all started so well and went downhill at lunchtime!!!

I got up feeling all positive and saintly this morning, i made myself a big cuppa and snacked on a few grapes whilst cooking up a red onion, mushroom and fat trimmed bacon sandwich, using my HeB of two slices from a 400g wholemeal loaf. Im back on extra easy today so i could be a bit more flexible tonight.

Then we mooch off into town to hunt down a kettle that doesnt give you first degree burns when u pour the water out, but no luck cant find one we like without spending a fortune, so decide to head home after wandering around a few shops and go a bit further afield and end up in our massive asda, bosh we find our kettle but its also getting well past lunchtime and im marvin!! Silly me buys some cocktail sausage and mini sausage rolls for Leah and 3 cocktail sausages and 2 of the mini sausages rolls end up in my belly....damn it!!! I did buy some fizzy water too tho ... im sure that balances it out?!?! No? This is why i never usually go anywhere near a supermarket unless ive eaten, its dangerous ground!!!
To make matters worse we then have to go to Tesco too to pick up one of squirts birthday prezzys and im going hang my head in shame and admit i had a krispy kreme donut, the jam one, cuppa and then picked up two tiger rolls, garlic sausage and crisps! Wtf?! What is going on!!!!! Now im sitting here feeling stuffed, bloated and guilty! :-(
However a slightly good outcome of all of this, and its only slightly, ive been sat looking through the menu for date night tonight. We are off to a rather posh Thai restaurant for our valentines/anniversary/mothers/fathers/birthday/christmas/newyears/valentines meal, theres two valentines in there as Chris has missed this years and will be away for next years too, thanks to his upcoming deployment, so our very lovely friend has volunteered herself for babysitting duties so we can have our last meal out together before he goes :-) i was originally going to have a thai curry but instead im going to choose the more low syn noodley salad type thing to redeem myself after lunch and pull back a few syns!

Well date night was awesome!!!
We went to Koh which is a very posh Thai Tapas Restaurant but without the prices, well except the champagne at £320 a bottle...ouchy!!
We started our meal off with the tapas dishes, i had satay chicken, probably not the best choice but one of my faves, Chris has crispy squid and we had a portion of thai red curry and pork spring rolls, i actually thought id died and gone to heaven!!! Managed to limit myself to a disarrono and diet coke, well done me lol
Main i had an absolutely stunning Phad Thai, noodles, spring onions, chicken, bean sprouts om a nom nom! Chris has Tamerind Duck with crispy seaweed and crispy Vermicelli noodles, oh my days ive never seen anything so funny, everytime he took a bite of these noodles they pinged off left, right and centre! One hit a fellow diner in the back of the head and one got me! And we shared a coconut rice... So not the most vertious dinners but hey ho!!
Home time for a brew  :-)

Total syns A Gazzillion but worth every one...back on plan tomorrow :-)

Ps theres no lunch or donut picture as we were out and phoneless!
