Hi, been AWOL for a while but have seen the posts about the carb-free diet. OMO, I follow low carb, and it is tricky, you do need to be organised. But, here are a couple of my staples:

Warm chicken and bacon salad
High meat content sausages with cauliflower mash
Chicken in diet coke (basically brown chicken then pour in some diet coke and simmer until reduced and sticky, like BBQ sauce)
Minute steaks in pepper sauce (aka melted Philadelphia type cheese with pepper in)

Breakfast for me is either a protein shake, eggs or deli meats.
For a treat, natural yoghurt with a little Splenda and lemon essence.

Hope that gives you some "food for thought"

Thank You,

The chicken in diet coke sound lush.:D
That's tomorrows dinner sorted.:D:D

Hi fenna! New vac is Electrolux Z2257AZ. It is an upright though ( easier on my back ), so it may not be just what you are looking for. It is very similar to our old one, just the updated model, I think. HTH xxx

ETA - never thought, hope it's ok to put details on like this , to help someone? Can one of you lovelies pls reassure me? ( Still getting used to this! ). Thanks x

ps Feisty - so sorry about you dog, and the wipeout of your savings. Sending hugs xxx

It's fine. We all do it. There is even a board dedicated to bargains.
You can add links to items as well. Do worry.:D

Just popped on quickly to say I have just sorted more of "Christmas". I took a chance and went to my local small Boots, and waited from 8.40 till it opened at 9 and walked in and got everything I wanted with no hassle whatsoever. Spent £52.50, saved £157.50 and I am so happy. Now off home to get a brew and a bacon butty and catch up on the many pages I have missed on here. Xx

Happy Birthday for yesterday Lollie!

OMO I hope you are feeling better and the results dont keep you waiting for too long

MsGigglewick you made me smile about te efridge! ours was about 20+ years old in the kitchen and started leaking abo0t a year ago, had to defrost it weekly and pack kitchen roll around it every night ... this was purely because I kept meaning to sort it out and other things got in the way! finally got a new one in BD sales .. so nice not to be paddling around it!

It is still really cold here. Thick frost everywhere. Got to get myself together and pop into work

Been on the Boots website and got the Ted Baker sets, so nearly done Christmas now.:j Not going to update my present list until they get here, just in case. Email says delivery by Sat, so fingers crossed.
