Well our original thread seems to have vanished - so have started this new thread post away.
Hate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
Do little and often
Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:

    I think, for the sake of the 'shiny new thread'... we should keep this one 'on' topic, and keep the (understandable) chat about the situation to the other one.... :o

    So, with only two more wake ups til christmas (says my 6 year old:rotfl: ) today I am having a frige/freezer clearing mix2max day

    B yogurt and fruit as ever

    tea - milk from HA, advent choc (2 or 3 syns)

    L green - jacket spuds, beans for OH and DD, sweetcorn and big side salad for me. Cheese on top (HA).

    D red - dover sole (yay! cool freezer find!), broccoli, alcoholic syns..

    hmmm... no B choices in todays pan. will have to look at the book and choose something. Might even have 'double cheese on my jacket :D)

    Hi Dixie -

    we *think* that discussing this new, 'extra easy' plan may have had the last thread closed down, so I can't imagine people will be very chatty about it here (for the moment!)... but the full details will be released in classes over the next few weeks.

    Don't forget though, that you CAN have potatoes and peas on a red day (as HEB's), chilli with rice (syns) on red, and potato and bacon (HEB) salad on green.

    In the new year, we will find out how the new plan allows us to have all the above freely.

    When they tell me how I can have my cake AND et it, then I will be very interested!!!!

    We were told about it in class today and it is in the new magazine also so I should imagine we soon will be able to talk about it?

    Yes that is correct. On the new plan all foods that are free on green and are free on red are free together. So you can have cottage pie with mashed potato - free, spagetti bolognaise - free, fish and rice with peas - free, bacon eggs and beans - free!

    You get only 1 healthy xtra A and only 1 healthy extra B - which should be no hardship now cause most of the things other than your cereals and breads and oil are now free foods.

    Any syns you have are counted at the lower amount - ie if something is 5 syns on green but 30 syns on red - you would count it as 5 syns!

    Sounds brilliant doesn't it? :T

    We can not be sure this is true.

    What has happened is that our beloved thread was closed (deleted). Another forum had the same thing happen.

    My (limited) understanding is whilst we might logically think we can discuss it, SW are trying to keep the details of this plan under wraps, probably until the new year.

    To date - Every time the plan is explained by someone (who knows legitimately, and believes it OK to mention), the accompanying thread is closed.

    Personally I wouldn't risk this thread closing too.
