    K9 - The Warburton wraps are very high syns. You might want to reconsider your meal for that night.

    Thanks Denise. I accounted for them, but they so weren't worth the fuss. The rest were frozen, so DD can use them for packed lunch. I much prefer hash brown base pizza, also meaning to try meatza (sp)? and cauliflower base!
    How are you doing on SW?

    K9 - The meatza is worth trying. Have only done it once but we enjoyed it. The hash brown base pizza sounds good. Think I'll have to pinch that one, LOL! Only got 4.5 lb to lose to get to target but it's coming off so slowly, only half at a time. Was hoping to do it by Easter but don't think it's going to happen with Easter being early this year.

    SO close then, but going to be so hard with all that chocolate about :A. We need to be exceptionally good hey! I will definitely try the meatza. The hash brown base was nice but fell apart a bit once putting on plate, still tasted the same though! I tried cauliflower rice last night, and it's fab - so will be doing that. I've still a stone to lose. Was hoping it would be by April, but if it just drops off in time for summer that will do me.

    Fingers crossed for both of us.

    I've sort of fallen off the wagon of posting although I've managed to keep planning and mostly sticking to it. Freezers are over full at the moment and I've spent a fair bit on a grocery stock up this month already so I think I'd like to eat from the freezer this week. Might need some veggies towards the end of the week but I haven't done proper inventory yet to make a plan.

    I've got a huge joint of pork for Sunday lunch as family are over for mothers day. Bound to have some leftover so maybe a pork&leek pie on Mon. I know I've got fishcakes, faggots, sausages, thai curry, indian curry, chicken breasts, turkey steaks, pork chops, and a couple of tubs of freezer surprise. Too tired to work that up into a meal plan tonight but I'm sure I can do something with it so that I only need to buy veg at the end of the week. Watch this space...
