I found the toffee options in the pound shop- the packet says limited edition so they have probably been discontinued in supermarkets.
Hope you have a great day Rosie

Cheese and marmite sandwiches- just the best!
You know, you could have had two and dplit the cheese between thd two rolls? There's not a huge amount of food there. Does h2b eat separately on work days? X

I could never sacrifice a coffee!!
Maybe I'll syn an extra bit of bread next week and try and reduce syns somewhere!!
H2B has a ready meal on Monday and Tuesday, as I work late. Really bad eating days for us!! Thankfully my mum gives Reece his dinner on Monday and the nursery on Tuesday (even though he barely eats his nursery dinner)
I was starving last night, hence the mugshot. Going to get a slow cooker in the new year and then I might be able to make myself something delicious for when I get home with minimum fuss!
I've avoided slow cookers before as always thought they were just for meat like beef and lamb (that I don't generally eat) but ive seen some amazing dishes on minimins and now think I may have been getting confused with a pressure cooker!!

Morning lovely! I've been dreadful with my updates and catching up on everyone's diaries this week :-( probably because I've been naughty!
How is Reece's cold? Emilia is full of it too :-(
Hope everything at work is ok now? xxx

Toffee options does sound nice - I have seen on favebook they are doing a strawberry one now which is meant to taste like a roses strawberry chocolate but I haven't tracked it down yet. All your food is looking lovely - reminder you can have nice food on plan and not be bad like I was. I still haven't had a tuna melt and I want one reading your diary. I might have one at the weekend with a big salad - I love those fish in butter sauce too I think you get a lot of sauce for the syns so you can cover all the veg in it.

Strawberry options sounds interesting... Although I think I'd only grab one because I imagine it could be quite sickly.
Forgot to update last night because my friend is having a little drama with her sister- her sisters h2b is in hospital in London and she expects everyone to drop everything to be by his bedside (his family are there). My friends mum and dad are elderly and have health issues so cant really make the journey and my friend cares for them and works full time. They all call the sister all the time for updates but the sister says they are rubbish and loads of swears- then throws in that she needs money and a baby sitter (her two children are in their mid teens so not unable to care for themselves!)
I just think she is trying for money- its not the first time she's tried to guilt trip for money.
Sorry for the rant!! Her sister just makes me mad- I know shes worried about her h2b who is really sick but no need to take it out on her family (who she barely sees unless she wants something!)
Food in next post!

Yesterdays was okay foodwise- I tried to plan ahead but got lost because I was making h2b fried eggs but I wanted omelette (can you tell I had eggs that needed using!) and I only have one frying pan! So my dinner ended up changing last minute.
I went to my favourite greengrocer and got some lovely fruit and veg- even bought a Perisimmon on the recommendation of Snow- will try that later!! Kinda nervous and excited about a new fruit!! Odd...
Yesterdays food-
B: Half a satsuma (the few segments with pips in that Reece couldn't have!)
L: Tesco tomato pasta n sauce (made with water) Fruit salad (apple, pear, grapes, kiwi and strawberries)
D: Baked eggs (onion, chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, 40g chorizo 4syns and 2 x eggs) SW chips. 2tbsp lighter than light mayo 1syn.
Snacks: Weetabix oaty bar hexB. Mini toasts crisp things 4.5syns. Half a pear.
Drinks: Generic regular skinny mocha (skimmed milk hexA and cocoa 3syns) Flavoured fizzy water. 4 x cups of tea (sweetener and dashes of skimmed milk 2syns)
Syn Total- 14.5syns

haha I hope the options is sickly - planning to go home via the big tescos today as apparently they stock them so will try my luck, that sounds rubbish about your friend. Why does she need babysitters if they are that age - surely they can a) look after themselves b) are old enough to go and see their dad in hospital.
Good luck with the Persimmon!

Your friends sister sounds quite selfish, perhaps Rhys is what panic/stress does to her though. If she hasn't got her h2b to lean on it might be her way of saying she needs support. Not the right way to go about it though!!
Food sounds yummy- still haven't tried your Spanish eggs, my chickens have randomly started laying again so ill put it on the list of things to try! Let me know what the persimmon is like! X

Sorry for the delay in replying Jade!!
A bit slack in remembering when Im on my phone!
Reece's cold has pretty much cleared up- he just has a runny nose at the moment, but its not blocked or stopping him from being his usual self. He is being a grump in general though and I know a few friends whos children have had ear infections lately so Im keeping an eye out for that.
On another note- I was going to go to Friday playgroup but didnt in the end (went xmas shopping instead! Almost finished now- just need to get Reece's main gift and a few stragglers that I need to order online) and Im glad I didnt! One of the parents decided to take her two children who HAVE CHICKENPOX!! She said they were all crusted over (so no longer contagious) but one of my mummy-friends said they definitely werent.
They are all worried about their children now, and Im just pleased I didnt book a party venue for Reece's birthday as it would be just as the spots started to show if they have caught it (two weeks today and I will have a two year old! Tomorrow would have been when he was due but he kept us waiting for another 13 days!!)
