20 somethings

I've just had my tea, those Linda McCartney red onion and rosemary sausages are lovely, I had 3 cos I was so hungry haha. Wanted to fill up cos going down to the big fireworks display on the beach at 7ish and there will no doubt be hot dog stands and all the other bonfire night treats. Why does every occasion have some delicious naughty food associated with it? Lol x
 
Because as a society we've learned to celebrate with food and drink. Name me any celebration where there's no finger food, cake, alcohol, or treats. It's terrible. Even just to socialise, lunch with friends, drinks with friends, cinema with sweets, restaurant with OH, cuppa, biscuit and chat. Argh! Foooooooooood!
 
Clare that is great. I like Pepsi max best. I have started to get Tesco zero, due to cost I'm not paying 89p one week and 2 for £3 the next. Mandy I am jealous of your achievement, I wish I could kick the habit! She says slurping on some coke!

Re grilled boobs: my phone is so slow with typing and jumps about when other posts come through, and sometimes it just randomly cuts out, that it is slower than keeping up with what is going on in my mind. This leads to me leaving out big thoughy processes and so sound like a loon with grilled breasts. It is such a bad habit. I have been known to do it in face to face conversations too to be honest! I need to reign it in.


Hmm melted babybel in a pepper... I'm not sold. I love slicing it up and eating it on Apple slices. Nate's having a lunch-snack. Too close to dinner time for a big lunch. But whilst he was munching I had the extra salad I made for snack attack. Feeling most virtuous.

Glad to hear they are good. They are SO low in cals. I'll decide how many to do when I see the size of them! I know what you mean about every event having food attached. My grandma and her side of the family are Italian. If they don't feed you until you are sick they have failed. She's so funny though. She'll tell you that you are fat then force feed you cake.
 
I've never been much of a fan of cake or biscuits. It's the chocolate and crisps that get me every time. Or a nice custard slice, nom-nom. But at 18 syns per slice, I just don't think it's worth it. If I really fancied one, I would cut it in half and make the kids eat the rest haha.
LMAO @ loon with grilled breasts! hahahaha
 
We were meant to do a "Fake-away" night before Halloween, but alas everyone decided to have a Christmas taster instead. I for one think it should have been a Halloween one, as when the kids are hanging around and you're so busy with trick-or-treaters, you're so not in the mood for cooking big meals and are more inclined to order out. So a Fake-away session would have been good.
Christmas dinner is mostly SW friendly, so Lord alone only knows what we'll be taking to that.
 
Girls I need a talking to! Just popped to Tesco express for some fromage frais for dinner recipe (had none but got 0% total instead) and something possesed me and I bought a bakery choc chip cookie! One of the big ones, ate half of it in the car and bought the other half home for later. Feel sick now though- need to throw it away! Can anyone find me the syns for it please? I've tried on the ap but it is rubbish and lists everything it knows with chocolate chips in! It was a Tesco finest bakery cookie. I'm guessing half of it is at least 10syns :(

According to Livestrong, there are 355 calories in Tesco Finest Chocolate chunk cookies. So that's 17.5 syns, for the whole thing. Throw the other half out. NOW!

Click to expand...

Tesco website says in a full cookie is 355 cals so rough estimate would be 8 or 9 syns for half, you had half! Within your syns!! You could have ate the lot and made it alot worse, put a line in the sand and move forward! Close the door on the cookie!! Xx
 
Cookies are made of basically nothing but brown sugar and butter lol I used to make them all the time. And then I wonder why I put all that weight on lol
The dough sure is nice to lick off the spoon though!
 
It's in the bin, soggy! Thanks I don't know what possessed me! I've had a mad craving for wensleydale with cranberries all day and had they have had it I would have weighed and synned some. But they didn't so grabbed the cookie instead and it was so not worth the syns! Sickly and yucky! So glad I only ate half as dinner tonight is 2 syns (for sausages) so glad I don't have to rethink! Disaster averted thanks again!
 
Well done! Just think, before SW you would have eaten the cookie, and then had a really fatty dinner too! Good on you!
 
Oh dear Lord, I now want a cookie haha! They really are the BEST thing ever...minus the horrific quantity of syns. Well done on throwing it out, Scarlett...I don't know that I could haha!

Mandy, I'm the same as you, not in the baking sense but in the cookie monster sense. If I was working in a school that meant I had to drive past the local subway on the way to it I would pop in in the morning and get 3 cookies for £1...naturally I'd eat all 3 before school. Seriously, how did I not see that was a problem? SW has shown me the light :D hehe!

Principal just text back so that's me confirmed as in from next Monday. Really nervous, I hate starting new things. Think I'll book this Friday off just to give myself one last long weekend lol! Lazybones
 
I'm doing well so far to make up for 'cake-gate' yesterday lol

I've had 5 syns so far, packet of jelly tots and I couldn't be arsed having any more =-O
That otta make up for it.. Tomoro I'm back to school so must go plan my outfit to impress the new interns that are coming!! So excited!! I'm the only intern in school so it'll be lovely to see two more as I will be able to have fun with them..
