Sadly I only have "council sky" so can only watch it in bits and bobs with adverts, news breaks etc. Paying sky customers can get continuous coverage. I almost feel sorry for the doc as his defence team is so rubbish. I think it interests me as it is real life drama, so no special effects, no actors (apart from that one woman with her "instrument" 
) so it is more realistic than regular telly. I wouldn't say it was entertainment as such as a man is dead, children orphaned, possible prison term, but it is fascinating to see how the system works.
Anyhoo, back on topic: Aldi sells a chocolate ice cream with caramel sauce, marshmallows and chocolate monkey heads. It is called Cheeky Monkey and is like pretend Phish Food. £1.99 a tub and suitable for veggies

Thanks a bunch SS - just as I think I can manage a day without some Phish, you throw this little gem into the mix and remind me how delish it is!! Thankfully I don't know where my nearest Aldi is, but rest assured if I ever see one I'll be straight in there to snap up the Cheeky Monkey!
I think you're right about the trial, it's just so real. Utterly bizarre but totally real. I'm not a fan of reality tv in its usual form, but this kind of stuff really interests me. Am worried I'm a bit weird and macabre ...!

Yesterdays food was like this:
B: Yogurt, melon, pineapple, grapes, banana
L: Savoury rice with extra veg and cheese (hexa). Plum. Satsuma. Yogurt.
Snack: half a bag of ryvita minis (half hexb), apple and cottage cheese. Mikado (0.5)
D: Veg and quorn stir fry with noodles & szechuan sauce (3)
Oaty bar (hexb)
Not a phish in sight ...
Weighed in yesterday and had only lost half a pound despite being super good last week. Boo. It is boating time though so I may do better next week. On the plus side it did take me up to a 41kg loss and that teeny bit nearer to my christmas target!

Thanks Val, hope you have a good one too x
Today has been good:
B: Yogurt, melon, pineapple, banana, grapes, strawberries
L: Jacket potatoes (1 normal, 1 sweet just to be unusual!), beans, sweetcorn, mushrooms, cheese (hexa). Plum. Yogurt.
Snack: Yogurt
D: SW Pizza - had a bit of a yen for this today, so WW Wrap (could tweak and make this a hexb - it does say they're high in fibre. If not, 5 syns), mozzarella (hexb), veg and pasata. SW Wedges. Alcohol free lager (1). Phish (5). I'm pleased with myself here as I quite fancied ordering a pizza this evening but I never seriously considered it because it's just not worth the syns. I'm more than happy with this as a substitute!

Beeeegeeee! Are you here?
How do I calculate the syns in ice cream please? The tub gives calories per 100ml instead of grams. Is it safe to say if I heap a tablespoon that would be 3 x 15ml? Then 20 cals per syn.
So Cheeky Monkey is 143 cals per 100ml. A big spoon would be about 4 syns? More?
Good news is that the fake B&J's is lower in calories. The cookie dough is only 124 cals per 100ml. Don't know how it compares taste wise. I managed to choke down some Cheeky Monkey for pudding tonight in the name of scientific research. Was very nice

Hey Beegee- every loss should be celebrated equally! Even losing a half is a big step in the right direction <------ this is what I keep telling myself !!!!
(By the way, not at all thread highjacking.....What is this fake B+J's ? Is it any good ??? I dare say its cheaper!)

Ooh sorry ... I missed the call for ice cream assistance.
My Phish tub has a calorie list for mls and grams. I thought a ml and a gram was the same but it turns out you get less in a ml than a gram - see what Ben & Jerry have taught me? I've got a scales that weighs mls or grams but if you haven't, pretend that a ml is the same as a gram then add a syn to cover the difference. I would say that 1 average sized scoop is about 5 syns so you're probably right with your spoon guesstimate.
Thanks for the continuing research into Aldi's ice cream range. Lisa, I think you're going to need this ALDI - Store Locator
Get down to your nearest one and put yourself out of your misery girl!

Thank Beegee I counted it as 4, but anything up to 13 would have been ok as I count my syns daily (ish)
Gobolino - I posted an explanation and photos on my food diary. Don't want to post naughty food pics on Beegee's respectable thread.
