    Maintained this week. Ok with that.
  • Maman, yeah i told her that! She wouldn't listen. She is going home empty handed where presents are concerned! I bought myself a nice candle, a lantern which holds a tea light cause it was pretty and a tiny tagine pot which holds spices! Nobody is getting presents from me... Except me!

    Sat in the airport waiting for them to announce where we drop our bags off so we're taking on the Pokemon gym that is here haha!

    I'm thinking when I get on the plane I'll start writing my shopping list and as soon as I wake up tomorrow I'll be going to tesco to buy it! Luckily I've got a bit of frozen veg in but nothing else!

    Well done to those with losses! Xx
  • Well done joint SOTWs :T thanks as always shala for keeping us organised :)

    Ended up succumbing to a takeaway yesterday - just can't seem to resist a night off from cooking! I had chicken chop suey which was packed with speedy veg and was really tasty and a handful of prawn crackers, still within syns there hopefully. Only ended up eating half as well, the other half's still in the fridge and I'm hoping that Mr Candy will get hungry later on and scoff it for me :D

    Today's food

    B - porridge with apple and cinnamon
    L - crustless quiche made with leek & red onion and salad
    T - gammon grill, something potatoey and some veg

    Will have to find something sweet later on to use up my syns!

    Hi all,

    Well done to SOTW :j

    -2lbs for me please Shala

    Getting very near to target, just 2lbs to go but aiming to lose an extra 3 for this challenge to bring me towards the lower end. Have to admit, I'm a bit scared that I'll go mad and pile the weight back on but I have promised myself a cream cake (first time in 15 months, I used to buy a pack a week :eek:) at Halloween...

    Totally off topic sorry but do any of you have any tips for getting a cat in a carrier??? Blood has been shed - all mine - but she seems to have the ability to turn herself inside out even when wrapped in a towel. I can catch her easily but not hang on to her when 10 claws plus teeth are latching on.I'm searching ebay for a RSPCA catching pole (joking, just)!

  • Greentiger can I just ask what you mean by carrying forward syns - I was under the impression you couldn't do that?

    It's not the SW way, however what they suggest is flexible Syns and IMO doing that regularly will mean consuming more calories than saving them up.

    Several people on the thread including some target members, allow themselves 105 Syns each week and use more on some days and less on others. It works well if you want to drink at the weekends.

    Evening all

    I've finally got time to catch up with the thread and write a post! We're not particularly busy in the shop but it seems that when it's quieter our regulars like to spend time chatting. Apart from that, my laptop keeps switching itself off without reason and it happened three times this morning, every time losing the post that I'd attempted to write.

    DH and I have been out this afternoon, we went to look at laptops in PC World but haven't decided what to buy, and then went to see Bridget Jones' Baby at the cinema, which I definitely recommend - it's very funny with a great soundtrack. I wasn't sure if too much time had passed since the last films but it worked really well and was very believable. Bridget has finally managed to get to target (and give up smoking) so Renee Zelweggar didn't need to bulk up this time.

    Thanks for the chart as usual Shala, I appreciate the trouble you go to, especially when you're having computer issues!

    Well done to Emmylou and Flutterby, our SOTWs. :T

    I can't remember who asked if I attend a class in Spain (sorry), the answer is no, and although I do try to stick to plan as much as possible it isn't easy to work out Syns and there are more opportunities to drink. On the plus side, I'm more active when I'm there, and I'm determined to increase my fitness levels this winter.

    Enjoy the rest of the evening.

    It all turned to worms here too. I went to the theatre and ended up eating gorgeous canap!s at the post show party. Tomorrow I'm getting straight back on it!
    gfb you are quite the celebrity! So pleased you felt good in your dress and had a great time with your son.
    I save syns. I have done since my very first day on SW and it's worked for me.
