Hi all

I tried to post earlier but lost it:mad:

I weighed earlier and have lost another 3lbs:j I was so worried that bad day was going to ruin my week:o

hot.chick I worked the hobnobs out at 4 points each:eek: shame really cause they're lush.

In one of my ww recipe books there is a recipe for oaty crumbles that are 1.5 points each.

They are smaller and not quite the same but a lot less points.

Let me know if you want the recipe.

hot.chick

how many does the mixture make?

couldn't u just make them smaller? then theyd be less points?

and yes - would love the recipie - thank you

I'm back from the war!!!!!!

had a totally brill time at Elsecar, loads of fun people and great stuff happening. And I was telling the truth about the seamed stockings ajax. My OH is very fond of them too, and I suspect not just because they are actual 1940s issue CC41! Personally, I think they are a bit of an odd colour and because they are utility they only reach just above my knees but there is no accounting for men's taste is there? And whats with the german !!!!!! references?! The weather stayed fine for us and there was a cafe selling jacket spuds so yay for SW green days. Did a couple of show and tells talking to peeps about SOE and got a bit teary when all the guys got together and had a minutes silence with a lone piper for all current and past combatants in wars. V emotional, especially when standing next to a Normandy veteran!

Ate a bit of rubbish but not too much as I now have an added incentive to lose some weight because I have splurged a RUINOUS amount of money on the most delicious 1940s evening dress - the zip is about 3 inches off fastening. Think I can get into it by the next dance in October? I'm never going to get into the french knickers that I bought but that's a whole other story. 1940s underpinnings are v complicated, it's much easier in the medieval period where you just have a linen chemise.

lol at bb's oh having a tummy tickle. Do you have to throw him a chewstick if he starts humping your leg? V impressed at katyk's indestructible pedometer. Welcome to 123money and clutterbunny, I'm sure you'll find the help and support you need on here, as well as lots of laughs.

soooooooooooooooo excited about my new dress! If i can get into it I may even get brave enough to post a picture. It's especially exciting as it's very difficult to get forties stuff to fit me - they were TINY back then. Must have been the rationing diet!

The mixture makes 16

Good idea about making them smaller problem is i'd probably eat them all:o

I'll go get the recipe

Ajax Can u plse tell me if you can get internet access with a Wii? Thanks in advance!
Welcome to the newies whose exercise plan makes me want to lie down!
(just envious I guess!!)
The fab news for the day is that one of my yoga friends is doing a 100 mile sponsered cycle to help to raise money for my trike.
I am so humbled.
Have a great week everyone & take care.

I know. If only there was consistency between the book and the calculations.

We use subway for the deal of the day, I like the way that you can customize your own sandwich, I have masses of salad on brown with no sauces, cheeses and just plain turkey, cuts all the wasted calories (on the sauces and cheese etc) and still tastes fresh and great:D

.......great, thanks victory. As a seasoned Subway vet, what's the distinction between the "deli style" sandwiches and ... umm.. anything else? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=6179194&postcount=1099

WW eating out supplement book lists a Subway Veggie Delite sandwich as 3 points, which is great value, but stipulates deli style. (The calculator works the points out to be 3.5 :rolleyes: but let's not go there !!!!!!)
