I can't thank everyone in my Slimming World groups enough for the incredible support you've shown towards the food larder at Second Time Around CIC

Some of you have donated food and essential items, while others have contributed money, 5p’s, coppers, and loose change—all of which have helped provide an amazing selection of food and sanitary products. In addition to this, three more bags of food, a bag of brand-new board games, and toiletries have also been kindly donated.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Your generosity is making a real difference. And remember, if you or someone you know is in need, please don’t hesitate to visit and make sure your family doesn’t have to go without.

Can everyone be vigilant with these £20 notes please check when a cashier gives you money and make sure it isn't fake. Don't accept it if it is. Stay safe everyone.

‼️Warning to all local business’ ‼️

We’ve unfortunately had fake notes used in our premises and want to pass this on to other business’ so they can keep an eye out..

The ‘twenty’ at the bottom, when turned should read ‘pounds’ and the face on the left hand side should be see through.

We know who used these, so if you can see this, we know who you are and if you come back onto our premises we will ask you to pay again, with real money.

It’s bad enough running a business let alone people paying with fake money! We now have checks in place to ensure this doesn’t happen again, please share for more business owners to see ‼️

Thanks everyone for your support 🙏🏼

The Week I Missed Weigh-In

I thought, just one week, it won’t do much harm,
I’ll skip the scales, stay snug and warm.
No need to face what I already know,
A little indulgence, a slight plateau.

But as the days passed, doubt crept in,
Had I stayed on track? Had I let food win?
No friendly faces to cheer me on,
No pep talk to keep me strong.

The scales don’t judge, they simply guide,
A step towards where dreams reside.
Each weigh-in’s more than numbers told—
It’s strength, support, and progress bold.

So next week comes, I’m walking tall,
No more hiding, I’ve heard the call.
To reach my goal, I know what’s right—
Face the scales, keep up the fight!

Slimming World Kitchen Meal: Red Thai Chicken Curry!

Tonight’s dinner was a delicious Red Thai Chicken Curry—completely syn-free and absolutely bursting with flavor!

I’ve been pushing myself out of my comfort zone lately, trying new dishes I wouldn’t usually go for. On the recommendation of a fellow consultant, I gave this one a go, and WOW—it did not disappoint!

In group, we've been chatting a lot about the importance of swapping 1/3 of your plate of rice or pasta for speed foods and protein-rich free foods. I love a full-looking plate, so instead of placing my speed and protein foods on the side, I made a well in the middle. Visually, it felt like my usual plate, but it was packed with so much goodness!

This little trick made such a difference—I’ll definitely be doing it again! Have you tried something similar? Let me know in the comments!
