    I thought they were quite good when they first came out but they do seem to be full of 'bits' now. (Think gristle etc.) Deffo not as good as previously.

    Edit: sweet posted (again :rolleyes::p:D) before my last post...I'm referring to the bites and not the cider. :D Obviously.

    Well I'm now on my 4th can of cider. I am a very bad person.
    Shoot me. :rotfl:


    :rotfl::rotfl: I think you like being bad.

    Were you a naughty little rebel in school :confused:

    My mum was told that i was the only girl in the school to refuse being a prefect.
    And i was smart enough to work out why they were offering it to me ;)

    Actually....no.:rotfl: I was a quiet timid little mouse. It was only when I became a parent that I grew balls. (Despite the fact I am very much female. :rotfl:) Therefore much ground has to be made up for. ;):D

    Da Vinci syrups are 5.99 per bottle from lowcarbmegastore, you won't find them cheaper anywhere else, I've looked a lot. £5 postage though.

    You can use them for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milkshakes, smoothies, coke, lemonade, yogurt, flavouring for general cooking or baking.

    I'm saving to buy 4 bottles.

    Oh I really think we should have an icing meet. (Alchohol is making me more sociable. :D ) I wouldn't mind being fat amongst you lot. :rotfl: We should put pins in a map and find the most central point. :D

    We should also invite Edinburghlass as she's been a good pal to me and is always in the background ready to buck me up when needed. (We can ignore the fact she's thin :rolleyes:....or we could feed her chips maybe? :confused:)

    Thoughts?

    Focus, i have bought quite a lot from lcm-store, i reckon that all the money i save from not buying diet potions and ready meals makes it worth the treat, especially if it means i can stick to lc.
    Not that i can all the time mind.
    They take about 5-7 days to arrive i think.

    I have bought gluten flour to make great bread, also had lots and lots of the sweets, they are just like regular sweets. (my weakness sweeties )

    The syrups are quite thin, but give a nice sweet flavour, tbh, dont know what to do with them apart from pouring on pancakes.

    Google some recipes.

    so you buy 4 for £5.99 then just add £5 delivery charge on top? is it £5 no matter how much you buy?

    ive just been clicking at all the sweets and choc snacks i want and its come up to £12 :( so if i wanted to buy this just add £5 delivery on top? i dont really like buying things online unless im using paypal though :o
