Brilliant, thanks Maman
. I would much rather save the extras up for treats. I must have misunderstood at the first group. I thought I had to eat between 5 & 15 syns a day. Chocolate is much more enticing

Prudent~~the official SW line is min of 5 syns a day max 15.
But you can 'bank' them and use over the week.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Thanks for the chart shala, hope work quietens down for you soon (says the person who's been working ridiculous hours for over a year now...) and well done to topgirl and rosylee!

May not need the 2nd HEB so if not will save 4 syns, which would of course be good!
Well done Top Girl & Rosylee on joint SOTW:T:T

Morning all
Thanks for the chart Shala and well done to our 2 SOTWs :T
Sorry to hear about those of you who are struggling with work - I used to be in the same position so I know what it's like. In fact I got to the heaviest weight I've ever been when I was doing the most stressful job, purely because I was grabbing whatever food was available, which wasn't healthy. I'm so glad not to be in the rat race anymore.
Day One was successful, I only had 5 syns and I didn't really need them but hey ho. I also had a green day yesterday but treated it as EE and only had 1 HEB so I've saved 6 syns there (not that I'm counting them towards my weekly total :rotfl:).
Today's menu:
B: orange and nectarine
L: LO sausage ragout (contains onion, tomato and pepper for speed)BGTY quarterpounders, SW chips and salad.
I've currently got 2 pound cakes sitting on the shop counter, reduced to half price as they're out of date today - moist chocolate and lemon - and I'm really hoping someone snaps them up before we close at lunchtime. Its not looking likely at the moment, we've only had 2 customers so far. I might give them to the lads that work on the site to save me being tempted by them, although the chocolate one is definitely calling to me... I wonder how many syns there would be in a teeny tiny slice..... :cool:
Loving the pet pictures - they make me want one, but I'm allergic to cats and a dog wouldn't fit into our lifestyle currently. Maybe when we're retired.
Well, the laptop is holding up so far, I'm tempting fate now. Maybe it knows I'm looking for a replacement!
Have a good day everyone.
