I am desperate for cheese but unable to get to A:(
I am so hoping that this extends into tomorrow but the logistics of working and shopping are so problematic.
I think I need to give up work:p
I have an urge just to drive to an A car park and look for wombles
Just wondering if I need to get changed or go out in my Sunday best- lunch at Lumley Castle with the family was lush:)
I've not been out for a glitchy shop today eitherglad to hear lots are benefitting though :T
Hopefully I can grab some tomorrow if it's still working. Does the APG ap give an instant figure for an APG (without the break down), just wondering if I go early tomorrow to test if i can lock it in the system if it's working?
I'm back at work soon and am already thinking of giving up. If only we could make glitch shopping and wombling into a proper career.... :rotfl:Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000

My son (10) is a county swimmer and I have to say he's my inspiration: just seeing him improve thanks to training time & application in the pool was phenomenal.
Made a fat lazy b@stard who couldn't really swim 5 lengths without thinking that was enough turn into the dolphin I am today
Hopefully we'll be swimming on down to sada for glitches tomorrow.:Dnever stop doing your best because someone doesn't give you credit0 -

I keep forgetting to change my signature x
Can I ask, is the 5/2 where you diet for 5 days and not so much the other 2?
We used to watch what we ate for 6 days then have something we really fancied for dinner/tea on the 7th. DH said it was so we didn't reach a plateau but I just thought of it as treat day for being so good the rest of the week
I went from a 24/26 down to an 18 :T
It worked for a while then shift work began and so went to pot as we were both eating different meals at different times. I might just start this again, thanks for reminding me of it.SPC #329 £471/£500 banked

From what I have read and my colleague has told me you eat normaly for 5 days and 2 days of the week (not consecutive) you only eat 500 calories. still reading up on things though xNow on the 5:2 diet.

Hope these are right, they are on my lists for tomorrow.
The McVities double choc definitely worked today. 2 4 £2.50 sel.
I bought 4 and the apg showed £6 (I paid £5) vs £2.68 at Sains. Hth.
Will post properly later tonight or tomorrow am. Am well behind, but saw this while catching up.
Thanks a lot to floflo for answering my cheese query. Went to A's and left my list at home, had my tablet with me so quickly posted the question.Only an elite could have answered as quickly as she did, thanks hun.
One other thing for savvy. The basmati rice does work, I bought 4 today and they compared like the rest did.

Oooh no. I don't want a pet. The nephews are my pets, hehehe. It's just the poor moggy has been making such as a racket at night. I'm assuming it is hungry or thirsty? Maybe better off calling the RSPCA or something eh?
Might be better getting some value dry cat food and putting it out for him in the day time, then if stray cat comes you can see what condition he is in, if he is hurt or in poor condition and the RSPCA will take him it might be a specialist job involving tough gardening gloves and a cat box“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

The diet nobody talks about these days is the cracker & white wine diet.
Basically it's a 7 day diet.
You can drink as much DRY white wine & Jacob's cream crackers every day for 7 days.
Nothing else.
Works a treat as you pass out round about 2pm but are not that hungry.
In fact: NO MORE CRACKERS! :cool:0 -

This is how I make it too but have learnt from experience not to try feeding more than 4 people from one pot, I've stuck and burnt more rice trying to feed six of us in my mum's using one pot than I care to remember, suffice it to say I haven't fed them any in 18 months!! It does help that I haven't lived there since June last yearbut I do still cook for my dad once a week.
