    Oh forgot to tell you think she said this week, coupons are being given out in group for SW meals at a reduced price, perhaps because they put them up and can't sell them ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

    I've had coupons once before for SW ready meals but didn't use them @bubbs. It wasn't that long ago either. I think you're right that they don't sell well but fine for people who don't cook or in a hurry.

    I gave Yorkshires a miss this week as I've got toad in the hole on the menu later in the week and I'm being good. Your dinner looks fab.

    I tried a couple of those SW meals a while back.
    None to good.

    Can't believe it's 9 o'clock already! ย I've spent most of today changing passwords after we got hacked over the weekend - DH's cousin sent him a link and he clicked on it - didn't open but it turns out it was via Facebook and it was where he'd been hacked! ย DH doesn't usually click on links but because it was from his cousin who's a Detective he thought it would be OK!

    I've changed all the important ones but still have a list of smaller ones to change! ย Some sites don't make it easy to change your password!

    Back on plan today completely:

    B - fry up - P; S; F; 2
    L - burger & onions in WM roll - HEB; S; 0.5
    D - roast pork, roast potatoes and carrots, cabbage, green beans, peas - P; S; F; 0.5

    HEA - milk
    HEB - WM roll
    Syns - sausages 2; burger 0.5; apple sauce 0.5; 0% alcohol G&T 0.5

    I shan't bother with the vouchers - I didn't bother with them last time round either! ย Only tried a couple of the meals when they first came out but not good enough to bother again!

    Morning everyone,

    The roast gammon was lovely yesterday and loads left, which I've put into the freezer for other meals. Had a teeny glass of white wine, but still within syns.

    I've tried a couple of SW meals before but nothing I'd bother with again. Had a couple of the sausages for brekkie yesterday and they were so dry. Will use the other 4 somehow (hotpot maybe) but wouldn't buy again.

    I'm by myself here today as DH is in Solihull and DS2 at school. I need to food shop after work as we are very low on veg. Also need to do some prep for an internal interview tomorrow.

    Food today:
    B - grilled bacon, poached egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, pineapple - S
    L - LO veg chilli, jacket potato - S, 1
    D - Spaghetti arrabbiata (DH and DS2 will have meatballs with theirs), parmesan - HEA
    HEA - milk
    HEB - hi fi

    Have a good day all,
    Coxy

    Morning all.ย  Well done on the losses @bubbs and @Jellybaby and hope you aren't too affected by the hacking @joedenise.

    Had bookclub at the weekend and ate some snacks and drank some gin and felt very bloated anyway because it was star week but everyone said it looked like I'd lost weight so who knows ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜†ย  Had ff yogurt and strawberries for breakfast and prepped some greek style salads for lunches this week so that's today sorted.ย  Then dinner tonight we're having an old SW fave of nacho style feast using some leftover chilli from the freezer.

    Hope everyone has a good day!
