    I read it as HEB for oats, HEA for cheese and milk. But what's an oopsie roll?




    :D


    Fun cartoon meg until I saw the little label by the chair. I've got a real bee in my bonnet about underactive thyroid. It seems to be common amongst some of DH's sisters and they use it as an excuse IMO for being overweight while ignoring the cakes, sweets and biscuits etc. they're having. My DD2 lost loads with SW but has put a lot back on thanks to wine, cappuccinos, cookies and too many take aways and eating out. It makes me :mad: when her aunties suggest she needs a blood test in case she's inherited their problem. She has but it's not the medical one.


    Eating out tonight but in the Greene King pub that does nice salads (large with a light citrus dressing). It'll be a heavy syn day though. I'll be angelic tomorrow to balance it off.;)


    EE plan:
    B: NAS Ribena, HEB porage, HEA milk
    L: LO beef, mash and veg
    D: (planned) steak, chips and salad
    Syns: squirt of syrup, chips, wine, some in dressing


    The little label actually says Hyper which is over active and a great boost to weight loss. I wouldn't have found it funny if it was under active as I know how difficult that can be but as you quite rightly say not impossilble and I would be mad too if anyone was giving my daughter daft advice.

    With the better weather now I decided I wanted to make some frozen banana lollies and as you all know just love to stretch the pennies. I know they are 68p a killo in Asda but I was in Iceland first and thought how huge their 68p a pack for five were. so bought them and weighed them when I got home. Result 1.1/2 killo and ten frozen lollies for my 68p.

    Oh thanks for that, shame they don't taste good.:( I remember when I was a child my nana used to have Energen rolls for diabetics. They were like air too.:)

    They don't taste nasty.. just don't taste of anything :D I just didn't want to encourage people to make them and be disappointed because they thought it would be like bread ... like people expect half syn cake to be like cake but it's nothing like :rotfl:

    Shala - somehow I missed your post about the oopsie rolls. Might give them a go at some time - perhaps when I have a burger rather than using a HEB for a roll (which never seems big enough!)

    Denise

    They are good for burgers.. it does actually make you feel like you've had a roll. This is what I usually use them for.

    I would say they were much better after leaving them in the fridge for a day - they seemed to be less air like and less crumbly.

    It's really easy.

    Put about 100g of pudding rice into a dish; a couple of spoons of sweetner & 700ml of milk. Mix it all together and grate some nutmeg over the top. Cook in the oven at about 160. If you like skin it's worth stirring after about 15 minutes and again after 30 minutes. You'll need to cook it for at least an hour (although a lot of recipes say anywhere up to 2 hours but I find the it makes an extremely solid rice pudding!).

    You can make it quicker if you cook the rice in water for 10 minutes or so in a pan on the hob before putting into the oven. Probably need about 45 minutes in the oven.

    Right off to sort the chart - I nearly forgot it was Tuesday! :o

    Thanks again, maman.

    There would not have been as much as 90g ham – it was half a big slice from a Lidl pack (didn’t think to weigh it as I was counting it as free on EE). I didn’t put any cheese in my omelette.

    I had a clementine after lunch, btw. I am not hungry at all (just now, hee hee) so I think I’ll be fine with my can of juice – the gas is filling! ;) I may not bother with the second yogurt after all.

    No idea what I’m doing now, lol, confused0018.gif but here’s Wednesday’s plan.

    Breakfast: poached eggs, beans, tomatoes, hexb toast
    Lunch: jacket potato, prawn marie rose (2 syns), salad leaves, tomatoes, spring onions, cucumber, WW yogurt, melon
    Dinner: potato & onion hotpot with crispy bacon, lots of spring greens
    Snacks: piece of my lemon curd cake (7 syns), hexa 3 mini babybel light & grapes. If I need (?) another snack it will be a can of diet cola

    Syns planned: 9
    Syns left in bank:75

    Hiya - well done beg, bellcat, saver-upper and anyone else I've missed.

    Thank you to whoever it was that mentioned swede chips - DH's favourite meal is sausage egg and chips and every week he suggests it and I come back with "but what about the speed food?"

    So tonight we were planning to have said favourite meal but I couldn't find the sausages that I knew I'd bought in Morrisons yesterday. They weren't in the fridge or the freezer so we scratched our heads for a while wondering if we'd left them at the checkout. Then DH suddenly remembered that one of the bags of shopping had spilt its contents into the footwell when he had to brake hard so went to have a look under the seat and there they were. They had to go in the bin of course, after 24 hours in a car and a warm day I'm sure they were as high as a kite, and fortunately I had some LM red onion sausages in the freezer.

    We realised when we were eating that we haven't had any meat today so we've still got all our HEs left :D

    It's a beautiful evening here but surprisingly, we've got frost forecast for tonight so the hanging baskets have been taken in. We only got them from the garden centre a week ago and I'm not risking it.

    Hope everyone is enjoying sunny weather, have a lovely evening.

    LL :)

    Well done BEG for SOTW. I've just realised I was SOTW for the last week of the previous challenge, thanks very much for that.

    This week I've lost 1.5 pounds. Not bad considering I ate quite a bit of birthday cake.
