    Catt - does this mean what I think it means :eek:. If so, then use one of frogga's famous lines and move on - tomorrow is another day ;)
  • Thanks for working that out for me Eleanorf! I was charging myself 4 syns for the Weight Watchers Fairy Cakes to be on the safe side, so 3 syns is great! They are only small and I was disappointed when I saw them out of the packet but their taste and texture is lovely, really deep and dark tasting a bit like parkin or gingerbread.

    I've been on a quest this week to find a really sinful-feeling-but-low-Syn treat I can have once a day. The plan is to have a tea or coffee break at some point each day where I do nothing other than have a drink and one item of sweet naughtiness! The fairy buns are definitely on my list for that as are Fox's Chocolate Fudge Crunch Creams at 3.5 syns each and Fox's Rich Tea Creams at 3 Syns each.

    As long as it's 4 Syns or less I will consider it for my sweet fix! Has anyone else got favourite things that seem naughty but are 4 syns or less?

    Oreo original cookies are 2.5 each and they're yummy :) or there's pink and whites at 2.5 which are a bit bigger than normal biscuits and are a good sweet treat :)

    Maman I've learnt that if I buy any crisps at all I will eat them all within a couple of days!

    A few weekends ago I ate 13 packets of Multibag Bacon Waffles over a weekend !

    I just can't resist them and do try not to buy - but sometimes the urge takes over and its a disaster. :rotfl:

    I'm craving crisps after reading this, even though I feel sick! Crisps used to be my downfall but gradually I realised the multipack in the cupboard was going out of date, not because I didn't want them but because I didn't want to use the syns. Can't say the same for chocolate though! :o

    Hello - has everyone now given me their last weigh ins for the Awesome in Autumn challenge? If so i'll post up the final positions tonight!

    I'm declaring myself N/A (not quite MIA) to avoid the embarrassment of being pitifully last! Looking forward to seeing how everyone else did though :)

    (hello btw- been a hectic day in work but have been grabbing a few mins to read posts in between work!)

    thats a good idea and i do the same thing.
    I have a bar of Dairy milk oreo from pre SW days that needs eating up. Its 1.5 syns per chunk :eek: so i choose to have 4 chucks a day (squares) which is 6 syns, but i'm sure normal dairy milk or a freddo say is about 4syns.

    I keep seeing the Oreo and the Daim one in the shops but haven't tried either, might have to! Has anyone tried the most recent Marvellous Creations? Pretzel, Cola and something - was a bit odd but think it would be lovely without the cola. Still love the popping candy and jelly one although haven't had any for months. Damn, now I want choc as well as crisps and I still feel sick- damn you forum peeps! :rotfl:

    BTW a Freddo is 5 syns - well worth it IMO :)

    Sorry gien, there's nothing listed for Aldi rosti. Morrison's frozen and Aunt Bessie's are both 6 syns for 100g if that's any help.

    Ohh i'm in a food mood today!! :mad: I want fooooodddd.. my tea's cooking but it's not quick enough :rotfl:

    Food today - green

    B - granola (2), yogurt, banana
    L - heb bread, hea cheese, carrot, light mayo (1) onion
    T - baked gnocchi (4) bacon, cheese (Hea & heb)
    S - crisps(6.5) treat chomp (3) apple slices

    ohh a bit close today with syns, but I was having to use up full fat crisps and the gnocchi which i'd bought before going back on SW. Now they've gone only buying healthier things.

    Becks how did your terrine go? it sounded lovely! I might try a normal chocolate one just because I have some to use up!

    I'm ignoring the chocolate and crisps talk "la la la not listening"
