    @joedenise yes got it for same price. Did have to try two different areas and my mother didn’t look too amused when I bought several bottles 🤣🤣 

    Meant to say well done to Bubbs and Coxy on your losses x

    At least it's the alcohol free one and not loads of alcohol!  I could understand her not looking amused if that was the case!

    Alcohol free gin? What is this witchcraft? 😁
    I have stocked up on lean meat, veg, salad, sugar free jelly, etc. today….now I have no idea what to make, but I think it may involve actifry chips 😬

    Of course not, LOL!  Not witchcraft but syn saving!  You can have 2 glasses of alcohol free gin for 0.5 syns so great for saving syns and it actually tastes like the real thing!  The real thing would be 6 syns.

    Well done of stocking up on some SW friendly food.  You really should try to meal plan as you're more likely to stick to it if you know what you are going to eat.  Even if you only plan the current days meals if you think you might not fancy X, Y, or Z on a particular day.  I'd be completely lost without meal planning.

    Thanks, both suggestions noted. I will be on the look out for ‘almost’ gin and will try to make a plan for meals. I’m definitely going to prepare salad, grate carrots, etc. in bulk as that always puts me off eating it!

    Now craving 0% gin as I’m usually the driver when we go out! 

    Friends will be here shortly. Forgot to say there was an area manager in group today trying to recruit someone to take on the group. There’s a presentation tomorrow from 4-6 at a local venue. Have any of you ever considered it? I might go just to see what the costs are but worried I’ll be talked into it!!

    Sorry @Coxy11!  Could you ask one of your friends to bring you a bottle and you'll repay her?  Or do you not want it for tonight and it can wait until you can get to the shops yourself?
