30g of parmeson cheese (or your choice) grated
salt, pepper

1. spray a large non stick pan, add spring onions fry gently 2-3 mins
2. add chopped spinach, peas and pepper, cook until spinach wilted.Add sesoning to taste.
3.stir chopped mint into beaten eggs, pour into pan and fry gently until base is brown and set.
4. preheat grill, sprinkle on cheese and grill until top is set

leave to stand, for a few mins and serve in wedges with salad or choice of veg, sw chips etc or baked potato.
Depends on which day you are having.

I also like cottage cheese and prawns as a sandwich filler or with salad.
Hard boiled eggs with cress and low fat fromagefrais (although i prefer this with cottage cheese as well. both fillings would be syn free depending on day.
Spicey chicken, add your fav spice mix to chicken pieces and grill-free on red
Tuna crunch-
1 level teaspoon of low fat mayo (2 1/2 syns) with tuna.
add finely chopped crunchy veg, cucumber, peppers, and spring onions.
If you replace the lf mayo with low fat fromage frais/cottage cheese-free on both days.
Tuna healthy extra B on green, or free on red.

Def would like to join in this thread, I went to SW when I was better off but on a pension now (ahhh) so need to pull my belt in - if I can:rotfl: .

2 years of retirement and sitting too much haven't done me any favours so it was great to come across this. Think it's a wonderful idea!

Penguin, spit 'em out - it was a minute past when you posted.... :rotfl:

I got given a box of 'Hotel Chocolat' chocolates and two bottles of champage at work.....eek!! Haven't managed to stick to it today, but considering I have such appalling pmt and have had a Really Bad Day I think I have one a reasonable job of damage limitation.

hope it soon passes, snaggs...
I had to have an operation was that bad, so mucha sympathyx
choccie and champers allowed on such occasions.

Gosh, that sounds scary Bob, thanks for the sympathy. I'm just being a wuss in comparison...lol. Mine's not so much the pain (it does hurts but I can control it with normal paracetamol), it's the mood swings. I'm prone to getting anxious about things, but I've never swung from one extreme to the other as much as I have done since my periods restarted after having Natasha. Just hoping its because they're still settling down. I felt quite unhinged this evening and burst into tears in the loos at work because I couldn't get holiday for Natasha's birthday (which I can probably arrange a shift swap for anyway)!
