Tuna, avocado, tomato salad sandwich


One of my favourite, no-brainer meals – the humble tuna sandwich. Takes all of 2 mins to throw together and, despite looking small, keeps me full for a good few hours. Love it! And good for lazy me πŸ˜‰ Between work, dinners/drinks with friends, and the gym, I’ve just had no real time to myself.. let alone cook a meal. I DID manage to though, last night! I actually booked it aside in my calender as “cooking time”, so I wouldn’t miss it, *lol*! I made my own concoction of Spaghetti Bolognaise, from scratch. And I also made sure I added in lots of vegetables and used premium lean beef, to make it as healthy as possible *proud*. Very easy to make – just chop everything up and chuck in a pot πŸ˜‰

Oh, and I also won a competition! For Hairscience.. I don’t even remember what it is but it wasn’t a very big prize so not that exciting.. but still, it’s free and I appreciate that they gave it to me πŸ™‚ I’ll try out the shampoo/conditioner tomorrow morning but I’m using the hairbrush now and am loving it! I threw out my old comb and replaced it with this nice brush πŸ™‚

Ehhhh…. what. I’m not that confident, I’m just bossy! Hee!

People Envy Your Confidence

You have the attitude and self esteem to take on anything. Failure is beyond not an option for you – it doesn’t even cross your mind.
People envy your ability to take on any challenge … and they’re secretly afraid you think you’re better than them. You don’t. You’re just sure of yourself.

Oh, and check this out: Unfortunately placed ads. Cannot… stop… laughing……

Who doesn’t love free stuff? I’ve been entering in a bunch of contests because it’s the summer and I have time. I haven’t won anything yet, though. The spaghetti looks very appetizing.

I never really win stuff so it was quite cool! I think I’m going to start entering lots of comps now, maybe I’ll win again… kind of like winning by volume πŸ˜‰

Omg! That food looks awesome!

I’m going to try that Envy test too. πŸ˜€

(I stumbled across your blog, btw :))

I’m playing spot the fat with your mince… and losing. Oh for shame… I hope you dine knowing that the cow you’re eating suffered from goosebumps before he died… The poor beast.

Nope, ’tis healthy beef. Which means I can eat as muuuuuch of my spagbol as I can and it won’t make me fat! Hah!

I see Captain Carbs lurking in the background disagreeing with you and sniggering, the cheeky bastard. Oh how I despise that heathen but he’s just so damn irresistable…
