    Maman~~ I noticed the spice thing in our Sainsbugs as well. I was less than pleased. As you say they are much more expensive and I don't use a lot of them :mad:

    Lunch ended up being a Tesco Cajun chicken salad which was lovely and tasty :) tea turned into spuds with tuna and cheese (HeA) with a massive salad and then mango, blackberries and yogurt and an apple because my boy stole my blackberries :D

    The just now 2 X Allen light bars (HeB), an apple and a stolen bit of leftover spud :o

    It looked at me, OK!!

    I thought it couldn't be just my store but there was nobody around to ask. I think beg's DS works there maybe she can help explain why.

    Happy Birthday lantanna - hope you have had a lovely day :).

    Some fab losses coming in - well done to you all :T:T:T

    I've done my big shop in Sainsbobs this morning maman but didn't pay too much attention to the herbs and spices as I had topped up through the week with a couple from Aldi. Not happy with them if they are doing away with own brand ones:(. I noticed that there is 25% off Tu so I may have to have a revisit over the weekend to check things out ;) and I will try and remember to catch someone on the CS Desk as ask about the herbs/spices. DS does work for Sainsbobs but doesn't really have anything to do with that dept.

    Hope you all have a good weekend.

    Still just popping in now and then, but now my laptop is back I'll be better at keeping up.

    Thanks, maman, for thinking about the Bairns. We keep pulling out those last minute goals lately. Someone said, when the 1 min added time went up, "Challenge accepted!" Struggled a bit yesterday - hope we are better on Sunday.

    My consultant posted on our Facebook page yesterday that there will be a voucher in Reveal coming shortly so not sure it'll be next week's mag but worth a look.

    Was going to try and keep to low syn meals this week but unfortunately today's meals come out at 14 syns! so still within syns for the day but not really got many syns left to last until next Wednesday! Probably had around 70 on Thursday night but none yesterday.

    It'll be an EE day again today:

    B - SW fryup; 1 slice of WM bread & butter (2 syns)
    L - roasted pointy pepper with grill halloumi (6 syns);salad
    D - stuffed squid stuffed with rice, onions, & tomatoes; salad (6 syns).

    DH is cooking dinner tonight which is why it's high syn as he insists on using olive oil for this dish rather than Frylight!

    HEA - milk
    HEB - 1 slice WM bread; may also have a Alpen Light with a cuppa later.

    Syns - butter 2; halloumi 6; olive oil 6

    It's not an American recipe shala. I think it's slimming eats (or is that American?). I've read your recipe on Page 1. The only thing that put me off is the brown sugar. Maybe I'll try yours first and then, if needed, buy in the stuff for the other recipe.

    That was June who asked, not me :) I think the slimmingeats lady is British but living in Canada..

    Swap the sugar out if you don't have any brown, white sugar would work too. Is it more or less syns than syrup? I'm not sure without checking :o

    Well my eating has been to pot the last few days, just haven't felt like anything at all, think my tastebuds are rubbish at the minute so I can't really taste.

    Going out for pizza tonight so I'm just going to have what I want then get back on board tomorrow. I'm not expecting a loss this week so I'm just aiming to maintain. Going to eat fruit and quark today as that's all we have in :o:rotfl:

    Have a good day xx

    It won't be easy and I think cheering is an exaggeration but it would help my team if they win.:o

    Sorry shala, I remembered it was you that does the sauce separately and puts a rub on the meat. Strangely enough sugar is 3 syns for 1 tbsp. but syrup is 2. Plus I'm more likely to have a level tbsp. of syrup;).


    Enjoy your pizza and hope it kickstarts your tastebuds again:).


    Shame about the olive oil denise. My DH cooks breakfast every day so it means that, without fail, he uses up my HEB. Left to do it myself I'd probably have fried potatoes instead of toast with a cooked breakfast. BUT I don't want to do it myself as it's great to be cosseted every morning so I just live with it.;) It's adapting SW to RL that makes it work.


    wiggly, it's not easy keeping up with SW and a job and a family but it really is worth the effort. Speed at breakfast is easy with frozen berries, salads will be fine at lunchtime for the next few months. Do you eat with the children in the evening or after they're in bed? I'm just wondering what sort of evening meals you might have to help you get the Speed in. Personally I eat loads at lunchtime and dinnertime to make up for the fact that I rarely, if ever, have any with my breakfast.


    Today's EE plan:
    B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage with HEA milk
    L: mushroom omelette with pickles
    D: Lidl pulled beef, patatas bravas, mushrooms, greens (asparagus, broccoli, broad beans).
    Syns: squirt of syrup, weekend wine.:D
