    Forgot to show you my bargains :D was dead chuffed with the lamb 70p bargains-003.jpg

    WOW! Where was the lamb from? Don't recognise the reduced label:rotfl:! Definitely an absolute bargain. I never seem to find anything like that. Best I seem to get is half price fish in Mr Ts!

    Glad you had a brilliant day Beanie and didn't fall over. You must be so proud of your son.

    Saved myself 6 Syns yesterday as decided I didn't fancy the gin so just had Old Jamaica diet ginger beer:A.

    Today's plan:

    B - bacon, egg, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes
    L - Linda McCartney Rosemary & Red Onion sausage & onion sandwich HEB + 2 for spread
    D - Stuffed lamb loin; roast potatoes, braised red cabbage, green beans

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread
    Syns - spread 2; frozen roast potatoes (not sure of of Syns as don't know how many I'll have!) 50g Stuffing 3

    Weigh in today and I've lost another 2 lbs! Very pleased with myself. Thinking I might try on some of my old outfits next weekend if I manage another 100% week :)


    Everyone seems to be doing really well considering the time of year!

    Well done that's a great loss. Think everyone is trying hard to be "good when you can and careful when you can"t to limit the damage prior to the festive season!

    I only eat my local butchers low fat sausages or Linda McCartney Rosemary and Red Onion ones. If I'm going to syn sausages I prefer my butchers ones any day:D. If I don't want to syn them then it's Linda McCartney's!

    Feeling much brighter today at least I’m still awake! Yesterday was spent mostly asleep and I slept all night too!
    I have been reintroducing wheat/gluten and think this may contribute to the exhaustion. Also could be hormonal ( at THAT age :eek:).

    Heartfelt hugs Tweets :A

    And so you should be! That's a good loss.:T


    Thinking of you tweets.:A


    Glad you're feeling a bit better this morning tie. It's amazing what some sleep can do.:)


    How do you syn your butcher's sausages denise? I'm happy enough with Sainsbury's BGTY and we don't eat them very often anyway but it would be good to try something different. We have some award winning butchers around here but I wouldn't know where to start on working out syns.


    I've prepped everything for dinner so I can turn it round quickly when I get home from my tea dance. I'm really hoping I can be strong when faced with the buffet. Its easy for me to ignore cakes but the savoury things are not so easy.


    I just realised that I haven't made HB steaks for so long that I didn't follow the recipe properly:o. I've done it more like my usual beef casserole but with steaks. So no mustard and a bit more cornflour and different herbs. I must have been half asleep. I'm sure it'll taste fine. :)


    Today's EE plan:
    B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage with HEA milk, pear and banana
    L: veggie omelette with pickled cabbage
    D: HB steaks (mushrooms and onions), SW roast potatoes, carrots, swede & carrot mash, cauli, broccoli, savoy cabbage
    Syns: cornflour 1, weekend wine and whatever I don't resist at teatime;).

    Maman Our local butcher used to be SW butchers before SW decided they weren't going to accept local butchers any more (about 2009 I think!) and they were 0.5 Syns each. They're still the same recipe so I still syn them at that. They are made with less than 5% fat pork and egg to bind and no cereal so probably syn free really - they would be if I made them myself using 5% fat pork mince and bound with an egg.

    We also have another butcher in our local town and in the next town that also do low fat sausages but our consultant has said they should be synned at 1 each so I stick with the local one and syn at 0.5 each.
