I never use packet mixes for my fajitas as wouldn't waste the syns ! I found a gorgeous recipe years ago & have used it ever since......
Slice your chicken into thin strips & place in a bowl
Chop up a green chili & fresh coriander & mix into the chicken
Juice a whole lime & pour over the chicken mix & leave to marinated in fridge for a few hours
Stir fry onions & peppers, add the chicken mix & cook thru
Serve with homemade gaucamole, homemade salsa & Greek yogurt
I used wholemeal tortillas as a hexb
Virtually syns free apart from the gaucamole.....delicious & one of my fave meals

I tend to keep to making fajitas to the weekend, as the chicken does taste so much better marinaded as the lime almost starts to 'cook' the chicken & all the flavours infuse. You could always do it overnight as well. If you want to make it even more decadent, you could chargrill the peppers first, peel them & then cook them in with the fried onions.....bit fiddly but worth it! I used to do that, but now I just fry the onions first til they're caramalised & then add the sliced peppers. Please try this way rather than a packet mix, as they taste more authentic & a lot fresher......more importantly, you will save syns!!! x

30th May doesn't seem to long away 
exciting! Bet your really glad you went for the early scan
I usually just mix loads of spices for a frajita mix but will have to try your recipe next time Kim, sounds yummy, could do it one day this week as well with it being half term. Although with things that need marinading we often do it the night before and leave in the fridge until ready to cook so we don't have to leave it just for weekends.
Actually managed to get some Christmas shopping done yesterday and have an idea of what we want to get everything else. Next time little ones at his Dad's we need to get everything down which we've got for him just to see what else he needs and we also need to order some things for him. I really want it sorted for the end of November though so we don't have to worry about it in December. Really hope I get this job as well, we'll have so much more money with a second wage, will feel like we can actually do some things which we can't now as we just don't have the spare money

I know Kim..other half may not like it but suppose no harm in tryin it.
Feeling very "fat" today. I know I am not but feel heavy today. Going drink loads water and not eat til lunch. Need to focus
Fingers crossed Donna. I have a few things in for little one Xmas but it is his birthday week before which is a nightmare as I don't want him overwhelmed but at the same time its not his fault his birthday is when it is. Also not sure of how much money is too much to spend on him either

I hate those days, I'm sure you look fine but there's nothing worse then feeling fat
I have a taster today and I don't think the ice-cream I attempted to make at the weekend will be okay to take in so need to think of something else to take. I hate tasters, I feel like I have to take something but never know what. They're a nightmare. I might attempt some houmous and then take some broken up ryvita's for people to try it on :/ will need to buy more ryvita then next time we go home bargains (which is a pain as we went there last night so could have got some then)
It's hard deciding on how much to spend on little ones as well isn't it, I think it'll be easier when I have two as that will mean at least I'll have to budget to spend the same on them both, whereas now I actually don't count how much I've spent on him. I just look at how much he has sort of bulk wise.
