    Well done on the loses claire, greenbeanie, sandhy, suewre, Teachall, Lois,

    Thank you , it was a tad hard but luckily none of the workmen stayed til late think 4-30 was latest they went so gave me plenty time get my tea sorted Dinner I just had a sandwich which suited me fine and for breakfast I don't eat anything that early would make me feel sick.

    There's a new list of SW meals all over Instagram that are coming out the 7th October, they are doing sauces and soups too.. I'll list them incase anyone's interested..

    Sauces - spicy tikka masala, chunky tomato
    Soups - spicy lentil, pea and mint, tomato and basil, carrot and coriander
    Meals - cottage pie, beef saag, chicken saag, bolognese ragu, three bean and roast veg chilli, beef and three bean chilli, chicken and roasted med veg pasta

    Think I'll probably try the tikka sauce as I quite like the chicken tikka they do but we always put extras in it so no point in buying the actual ready meal.. I imagine they'll be expensive though..

    I'll be stealing some of the recipes and making them myself too :D

    Got up this morning and did some weight exercises, now my arms are all shaky :rotfl: so finding it hard to type. I imagine it won't help with weight loss this week but I'll be diminishing the bingo wings :eek: and building some muscle.

    The gravel arrived yesterday for the back garden so we'll be shifting a tonne of it and digging all day so more body magic! :t

    Tweets, is it the Staffordshire V festival your GS has gone too? If so, then the weather is fine at the minute.. I think it's later that the heavens are opening. they'll love it, it'll add to the atmosphere ;)

    Yes shala that's the one thank you :T

    When he text I asked if it was in Leeds and he replied no Staffordshire Leeds is called Leeds festival :o :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I didn't dare ask him why V festival wasn't called Staffordshire festival :cool: :D

    Those sauces sound good and some of the meals ;) Thank you :)

    Ohhhh interesting, I must have found a different recipe. I may try it with beef then as that's more reasonably priced. Thanks Dillon :T

    Think the other v fest is in Essex, don't quote me though :think:

    Well we've just spent the last 4 hours shovelling gravel in 25 degree heat, sweats dripping of us :(and I'm knackered. Got nothing out for tea so decided we're going to go fetch some mince and make cheeseburgers and chips (didn't stop for lunch so we're having a big tea :j)

    Then early to bed I think, there won't be any sleeping issues in this house tonight!

    So menu today.. Old EE cos banana aren't speed..:p
    B - banana, toast (heb) pb2 (2)
    L - none
    T - bacon, burgers, cheese (0.5 hea) wholemeal roll (6) chips, salad, sauce (2)
    S - Apple, milk (0.5 hea)
    Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.


  • Hope you're all enjoying lovely warm weather. Congratulations on your loss Shala.

    I'm doing pineapple on the bbq tonight, does anyone know the syn value? I know cooked fruits tend to have a value but I've looked it up on the SW website and all I can find is pineapple free??

    I noticed some of you use hairy biker recipes, are they from their diet books? How do you rate them, I may need to get one as I enjoy their cooking although the books I have are their curry and pie books which aren't exactly compatible!

    Today I've had
    Breakfast - nectarine, banana and yogurt
    Lunch - left over beef, wholemeal roll, tomatoes and cucumber (he)
    Dinner - bbq spatchcock chicken with salad, new potatoes, grilled pineapple with cinnamon and brown sugar (syns)

    It's meant to be 2 syns for 100g cooked but personally I'd ignore it. You're hardly likely to eat more than you would if it was raw (one reason that pureed fruit/juice is synned) and it'll be just warmed through so won't have lost any fibre content either. You'll have to syn the brown sugar though!;)


    I don't have any HB books just use my friend Google.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/braised_steak_with_gravy_24508


    Just substitute Frylight for the oil and that's it and many of us add mushrooms to the sauce for extra Speed.


    Had a bad day so I'm treating us to an off plan meal at home tonight. I think my beef and black bean is about 4, 1 for the egg fried and I'm not even going to look up a couple of spring rolls. Back on plan with a vengeance tomorrow.


    EE menu:
    B: NAS Pink Grapefruit, HEB toast, baked beans, HEA milk for drinks
    L: bacon, tomato, spring onion, fried potato, beetroot, strawberries
    D: Chinese (Waitrose) with egg fried rice (Aldi) SW chips
    Syns: loads

    Thank you, I agree re the pineapple I had 3 small strips, like you say no more than if I had it raw. I was syning the brown sugar as unfortunately that doesn't appear to be free let alone a speed food, shame really:rotfl:

    I hope you enjoy your Chinese tonigh, it sounds good :)
