    'fraid so Toto! :rotfl:

    Spud - basically, if it is free on a green, you can have it on the same plate as something free on a red day - ie - you can have chicken and rice - or beef and new potatoes - or bacon and baked beans.
    All those would be ok on the new plan.

    Right, so it's no longer limiting protein with carbs......I thought that was what SW was all about. Seems like a huge change to me :confused:

  • they are still keeping green days, red days, mix to mad, success express - this is an additional plan.

    I was really keen but I'm not sure about the between meals bit at the moment. And deserts? Not sure how they fit in yet, counted as syns I suppose unless they are free.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    If SW was so good why change it? WW changed stuff too and made it more complicated.:confused:

    Glad you and yours are ok Spud - have only been online twice since 23rd so not up to speed on the gossip....

    I think I'll start with the old SW plan. It works really well, and I never felt deprived at all last time.

    As we find out more about the new plan, I might have a go ;)

    Thanks for trying to explain BB, very much appreciated :D

    I never did get their core plan and have always stuck to the 20 points bits which I understood!

    although to my horror I now discover i am now allowed 22 points. (cos I got so fat)

    Think I'll let my mum re-join SW and have a nosey at her books....I could manage the basic red/green, or should that be original/green as they re-named it :rolleyes:
    For those who only have a microwave, the mixing plan would work, especially as you could oven bake a whole load of jacket spuds and then freeze them. They don't seem to take as long in the ding machine then and still keep that oven baked taste. ;)

    Happy birthday Tigtag and Sally xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I've been dumped :( well, not dumped really but he is 'ill' (remember how he was 'ill' last time he didn't come up cos he was about to dump be though?).

    I'm trying to trust him and give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's very difficult.

    He says he's going to travel up tomorrow instead, so we will see.

    It's so crap, I love him a LOT :(

    Snags try not to worry, there really are a load of nasty bugs going around at the moment. I've still got this man flu and I never even go out of the house these days :) I understand why you're worried but if everything has been good between you then I'm sure he really is just too poorly to travel today.
