I think the tiny bottle is the new style for the infusion frylight which has annoyed me as everywhere has it here now. (Same price too for 120ml instead of 190ml) however I did get the chilli one to try and was thinking it would be ace for v lazy salt and chilli chips Food looks lovely and well done on your maintain - always better than a gain!

I got the mini bags of pretzels from Co-Op and they are yum! I definitely have a savoury tooth rather than a sweet one.
Still feeling a bit rubbish today- normally it's my day to take a long-ish walk to the shops/ soft play with Reece but we are having an indoor day instead. Annoyingly it doesn't look like its going to rain either! But we are having an art day- done loads of drawing and colouring and after Reece's nap I may even get the paints out (after covering everything in newspaper!!)

L: King pot noodle 8syns... Oops! But I really couldn't be bothered!!
D: 50g salmon and dill philadelphia light part hexA on 60g WM toast hexB. Yogurt.
Snacks: 1 x chicken nugget 2.5syns. Grapes. Half a banana. Space raiders 3syns. Yogurt.
Drinks: Cups of tea (sweetener and skimmed milk part hexA). Flavoured fizzy water.

Salt n chilli chips?!?! They sound yum! Never heard of them before though.

I used to love them from the chinese - sometimes called salt and pepper chips but they are chips stirfried with big chunks of onion and chilli and garlic and loads of salt. (And presumably loads of oil when from a take away. Really nom - I was thinking you could just make slimming world chips and then stirfry them in chilli frylight with salt and onion

If you ever give them a try Snow then you have to let me know!! They sound delicious but Im struggling to figure out a way of stir-frying chips!! Just too much of a new concept
Im completely sabotaging myself today. Im on a night out tonight (as Ive previously mentioned) and I have munched on a packet of Pops, had a Costa latte and... A ready made egg and cress sandwich, which Im sure was probably more than my unhealthy pot noodle yesterday!
And copious amounts of wine will be consumed today- especially considering I am feeling pretty down in the dumps.
I applied for a new job role- only a 6 month secondment in a new department within my company but, because I work reduced hours since having Reece, they are making it a little awkward. Basically I would end up earning about the same amount as my childcare costs so its not worth it, despite how much I hate my current role. Also, I currently only work 2 days a week. I could stretch to 3 days (plus my day everyother weekend) but anymore than that and I would lose my time with my baby (and our playgroups, therefore my mummy social circle) and to be honest, my days with Reece are the only thing that get me through work in the first place.
I got the spiel about them being open to people who work flexi hours but Im not holding up much hope
Might have an extra bottle of wine just to drown my semi-sorrows... (Semi because I havent been declined straight away and at least they were interested in me so maybe my CV isnt complete rubbish!)
