Today's salad, I generally find it easier to actually motivate myself to make up a salad at work than at home (we do have fridges). Red cos lettuce, yellow pepper, cucumber, baby plum tomatoes, Mary Berry light salad dressing, oak smoked ham, wensleydale cheese, "pickled" grilled pepper and some salad topper seeds that I can't remember which shop I found them in! They add a nice crunch texture and a bit of flavour too

It had about 60g of cheese as well as 3 slices of ham so that helped with being filling

Thursday is my cooking / baking day, business through Country Markets. I have made / baked......three varieties of cheese scones, tea loaves, date and walnut cakes, flapjacks, shortbreads, viennese fingers, victoria sponges, fish pies, cottage pies, two large quiche and a minced beef pie. Rewarded myself with a favourite lunch....... Warburton's thin, scrambled egg x 1, marmite and a cheese slice. I know the thins are a tad carby, but so much nicer than bread ,I find, and will have a carb light dinner. Taking ten minutes.......
