Ok I feel a rant coming on!

Why is cheap processed food just that cheap!!

In Asda last night they had chilled pizza (size of dustbin lids) for £2.50

Garlic bread x2 50p

Hot x bun loaf (large) 50p

None of these were in the reduced shelf so presume these are an on going promotion.

What I went there for were more expensive than last week i.e peppers 80p each or 3 in a pack £1.30. Clementines and plums were £1.80 and £1.20 for 6:eek:. Ok bags of carrots were 50p

I have been out of work since the week before Christmas, have been using savings to subsidise DH earnings. (they will be gone end of this month).

I think the recipe thread is great and I will be using this alot.

Right feel better for that.

Thanks for listening

I spent last night and this morning opening the fridge, looking at the contents and then closing the fridge again. Then I read this thread and trundled off to make a quiche with a potato base, and cottage cheese, eggs, onions and tomatoes as a topping. It was yummy, and thank you yet again.

hi guys,

am jumping off the tank for a couple of weeks while i move house.
I just dont have time or energy to really think about what i am eating but will be back on once i am in and settled.

on the plus side i hope to loose weight by packing and carrying loads of heavy stuff and running around like a nutter trying to organise stuff!

good luck with moving hun (don't envy you:eek:)....the dizzy tank wagon will be waiting for you when you're ready to get back back on it x x

Skintslimmer, thanks for the advice, I forgot to mention that it's a green day (I'm veggie)! Will pop out in a bit and get some dried noodle. Thank you!

I always use that site before we shop, but were quite lucky as we have sainsbury more or less next door to Asda so I can do a bit of clever shopping for the bargains :money: Asda have got big blocks of wyke farms cheddar cheese (almost a kilo) for £4 this week.....good to put in the freezer, 4 tins of tuna £3, pineapples £1

Afternoon, just had a very late lunch of falafel(4.5) and rice. Bought stuff to make my own syn free falafel. I shall report back if they are any good.

Had 2 activia, a nana, 2 clementines and 2 alpen light(B) for breakfast.

Used one B and a bit of an A so far and 4.5 syns.

Dinner will be quorn meatballs and pasta, all syn free topped with an A of cheese.

Have some yummy looking strawberries in so will spend some syns on meringue to go with them later.

Right, following a totally undeserved sts this week (by rights I should have gained at least 2lb) I've decided to pull myself together and stick to the plan 100% for this week. The "one more glass of wine won't be too bad" and "at least I'm eating better" excuses are totally gone! I chose to do SW because I needed to lose weight, and I only need a bit more willpower to stick to it!

Today (EE):

B - fruit, yog + oats (HEB)
L - chilli (HM with millions of peppers, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes)
D - steamed salmon with veg rice and peas

Snacks - kiwi, tangerine, 2x mullerlight
Syns - unknown

I am often finding it difficult to fit in my HEA, but I think with the amount of yoghurt I'm eating I am not lacking calcium.
