That's a shame. The only t I could have got to by taking a detour on the way home from work was an express

Thanks everyone for the tips, I got 3 packets and 1 box of nappies reduced. The packets even had an RTC SEL!
Managed to get CS to honour the 3 for 2, but not DTD.

Got a couple of harpics and an oven cleaner...my oven will love me now lol

Also, thank you for the inspiration with fasting. Today I've had a cup of tea with semi-skimmed milk and 2 sweeteners, also a ham and cucumber sandwich. I have no idea how much this is in calories though - how are you guys and girls calculating?

I'm using my fitness pal. It's fab and you can scan barcodes on it too fr nutri info

Looking for cheap but not nasty wines for some gift hampers I need to make up. Im not using my own stash Found the following

French Red £2.59 per bottle
http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?N=4294962316+8117&id=259587933

and Blossom hill white £2.69 per bottle
http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?searchBox=blossom+hill&search.x=34&search.y=7&id=256287446

The blossom hill seems to be jumping in and out of stock. I kept trying and managed to get it to stay in my basket.
Bear in my mind you need to spend £50 to get free delivery.

:rotfl:just a thought but would they be covered under your contents insurance as it was a genuine accident?

Maybe worth a look.....

Thanks barbara, it is only one lens that is smashed, £36 incl student discount and they will straighten them for her.

Bit less than my £50 insurance excess.

Evening everyone.

Just tucking into my first meal of the day.

Thank goodness for a glitchy day to start on been to busy hunting to even think about eating. Although I felt as if I ate something no matter how small I would want more and would not get through the day.

I know not the right way according to the book but see if it works for me.

Hope everyone else on the 5:2 is doing ok.

Thanks to all the OPs on the cleaning stuff, Anchor and Mooshi gummies. Impromtu meet with Dodo, we are officially a team. :j

Well 200g of strawberries are 56 cals (according to the book). 100ml of whole milk is 64 cals /semi skimmed is 50cals. You must have had less, even adding sugar.. I think someone said a tsp of sugar is 16 cals??
EDIT - coffee or tea with semi skimmed milk = 7 cals.
So I have it as 56 + 7 + 7 + 16 + 16 = 102 cals

Thank you so much tigerwhite you are a star:T.

I am using the pull out from the mirror on Saturday, only got some foods in that. I have bought two cant melons don't suppose you know how many calories are in 100 grams thank you again:)

I've watered down my milk to make it less calorific. I'm having it with porridge and in my tea during the day. I cannot possibly drink black tea and i dont like coffee

But its all counted up

I guess I have had a bit of a head start on you all there have drunk black tea for a few years now.

Dodo will confirm I sat in Ts cafe lunchtime and didn't eat a sausage.

Don't forget £1.50 moc on SSM

Dodo must have seen your post this morning, thank you, as she stopped me buying them without coupons, came back and printed and bought later with some more Anchor.

Lots left at TP for anyone local to me.

34 per 100g

Omelette - if you can't stretch to 2 eggs then you can bulk it out with just the white part which is just 52 calls per 100g. I love omelettes

Thanks - just got some :j

My tea was a slice of kingsmill seeded 118 cals and 2/3rds of a tin of parioli tomatoes 70 cals with lots of black pepper and lea and perrins. Very low in cals and very mse :rotfl:

Re: calculating cals, easiest thing is to look on the back of packets, almost everything gives the value (you may have to work it out if per 100g). May treat myself to a glass of water

Just read about the glitch on cleaning stuff, anyone know if there is any left in Newport? Still up to eyes with reports and late at school with parent tonight who couldn't make parents evening.
