    Efrieze, have zero'd you as requested. Nice to hear from you.

    Vix, you'll be surprised to find just how much a lot of boring essential items cost. Have you got a house smell yet? ;)

  • yeah, all couscous is pretty much instant beanie, but the ainsley stuff ( other brands are available!!) has added spices and flavourings and stuff. We do all the packet stuff - so thats the soups, dinner kits, couscous and rice. looks like i'm switching to mostly green days from now on!

    ffm, half a packet - wow. You have willpower i'll never have. No matter what it is I ALWAYS FINISH THE PACK. This is why we don't have biscuits, or family packs of anything at all in the house. Self control is just a meaningless collection of syllables to me.

    But if it's a green day and if, which I do, the packet represents your entire meal (i.e. lunch at work) it doesn't seem to bad to eat the whole thing. Have to agree about self control .... :o

    thanks folks, much appreciated. I start 24 November. Can someone look up the syn values of the ainsley couscous and rice range on green? I know mugshotz are free - did i mention that my new company makes mugshotz?

    !

    Which one did you want they syn value for kpc - there is quite a long list! Good news that most of them are pretty low or even free on green.

    When life hands you lemons, ask for tequilla and salt and give me a call!!!
  • granny you've just hit the nail on the head for why i do sw - it's BECAUSE you can eat the entire packet. Even if it isn't lunchtime!

    Cheers marion, if you can tell which ones are free, then i can plan which ones to have!xx
