    Seems ironic doesn't it @bubbs but good to hear your dad has put on half a stone.

    @beanielou - the thins are 5 syns each unfortunately - not the whole pack, LOL!  The Village Baker High Protein Sandwich Thins from Aldi are HEB if that's any use for you for a different one.  The only Warburton one to be HEB is the gluten free one.

    Sorry @beanielou 5 syns is for just one Thin not the pack - that's for the half and half or the brown ones.

    The Village Bakery High Protein Sandwich Thins from Aldi are HEB if that's any use for you for a different one - no idea what they're like but could be worth a try to use as HEB for a change.

    What are the syns for @bubbs?  Is that the choc shot?  We had some strawberries & grapes with some vanilla ice cream for pudding tonight.

    Morning all,

    Another one here who could donate at least half a stone to @bubbs dad!

    Those thins seem high @beanielou - not fair is it, given they're fairly small!

    Traybake last night consisting of 4 SW !celand sausages, butternut squash, carrots and onion. I served steamed broccoli on the side. Just DS2 and I eating as DD had dinner out with BF. There's roasted veg left for today. It was good to get rid of those sausages - won't be buying again!

    Food today:

    B – grilled bacon, poached egg, WM pitta, melon, strawberries, blueberries – P, HEB, S

    L – roasted veg, salad leaves, tomatoes, pickles – S

    D - takeaway chicken shashlik - 10 syns

    HEA – milk

    HEA – mini babybel

    Syns – rum n pepsi max plus curry – 13 syns

    Have a good day all

    Coxy
