Dinner was excellent! I left out the sausage in the end, since the bread slices can only hold so much; I only used half the turkey ham on the pizzas and mixed the rest in with the veggies. It was lovely, very filling. Definitely will be having it again and experiment with toppings.

[Kenco]

Hiya BritMum! I discovered it in Tesco's, it's just their own brand diet cola with a hint of almond. I love it because it's a diet drink that doesn't taste like a diet drink! Also, it doesn't have that sweetener-ish aftertaste some store brand diet drinks have (piccie below).

Thanks Surreygal, I'm so pleased!

Great loss this week hun! Hope you enjoy your pizza and chips x

 

[Christiana]
