Fresian's Free Of Debt (Woo!) Now, to stay that way...!

Morning all

Received my rent money this morning, so have put £50 into my ISA (because I'm a good Fresian) and the rest has been put into the account I use to cover my credit card balance at the end of the month. I have a small balance on that at the moment and the rest of the rent money will be used for our trip to York. I need to spend time this weekend checking all the Groupon vouchers I've bought and the Tesco vouchers I have so I can see how prepared I am!

Money is sitting like this:

PAD/Spends - £61.61 (Paid cash for some groceries and transferred money)
Entertainment - £48.25
Groceries - £224.35

The weekend is stretching before me now and I can't wait. I have a work night out tonight which involves booze and buffet, but I'm going to have dinner before I go (currently planning a stir fry) and then stick to low-points options. I'm probably not going to drink to be honest, as I'm not a fan of gin which tends to be dieters choice :rotfl::rotfl:

Happy Fridays to all

FF Iceland often do WW meals for £1. Usually they're just the basic ones but with plenty of veg can be quite filling (they do puds too )

Thanks for that, I'll have a look next time I'm in town. I would rather work out the points for my normal cooking to be honest, as I prefer fresh to ready meals, but they will be handy to have in the freezer for CBA days

I'll need to look at the pudding range closely though

Morning! I like the muller fat free vanilla yogurt for pudding - 100g is only a point and if you have it over fresh fruit like pineapple, strawberries or bananas it's a very satisfying pudding.
Jaffa cakes are 1 point each and lovely with some warm lowfat custard poured over them.

I don't think there is - the only ones I know of are in town and in Nicolson St.

Me... a weight loss guru... :eek: :rotfl: Oh that's funny! :rotfl: I'm off to the dietician later today for a kick up the backside as I doubt I've lost anything since I was last there...

*Sigh*

If things haven't changed then I seem to recall that Tesco Value Jaffa Cakes (which everyone knows are the best ones!) are only half a point each. Go on, someone spoil it and tell me they aren't any more!

Watch out for bananas as I remember them being high in points? (Again, this might have changed!) I also remember Baby sweetcorn being pont free, but "normal" sweetcorn has to be counted? My drink of choice when I was doing WW was Vodka & diet coke by the way which worked out pretty well.

Hi F_F

Have a fab weekend. There is a yummy pud pud but cant remember the PP value. I will look it up and tell you what its called. Haven't bought any in a while but they are my favourite.

Yep thats what I buy the ready meals for CBA days or just to busy days. They do the trick, put you do get more from recipes. E Source is great for ideas too. I got a free code to register from my leader. Your kind leader may have already given it to you. It is for helpers seeing as we dont pay

Take care hun..hope you have had/having a good night.

Hate to disappoint you EH but there are no such things as half points now with WW 1 jaffa cake is 1 propoint and 2 are 3 propoints. The nutritional information is worked out differently with ProPoints.

I can't hack vodka at all. It has to be strongly disguised in a cocktail for me to go anywhere near it.
