last one for today...

SW Mag Chocolate & Apricot Brownies
Makes 24, 4 syns each
3 1/2 oz/100g low-fat spread suitable for baking
8 level tbsp drinking chocolate powder
4 tbsp Splenda Granulated
2 1/2 oz/71g caster sugar
3 eggs
3 1/2 oz/100g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
9oz/255g dried apricots
1 tsp vanilla essence

Preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 and line a 12x18in/30x20cm baking tin with non-stick baking parchment. Melt the low-fat spread in a pan, remove from the heat and stir in the drinking chocolate, Splenda Granulated and sugar. Add the eggs and whisk until well blended.

Sift in the flour and baking powder and stir. Chop the apricots, add to the mixture along with the vanilla essence, and mix. Pour into the tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until just set (it will firm up as it cools). While it is still warm, turn the mixture out onto a board and cut into 24 brownies.

so good...and really easy to make, you literally need a small saucepan and your baking tin

i hate my boobs they look like bloody ski jumps! if i was rich i would have them disposed of immediately

LOL!!!! Seriously I really feel you there!! I have massive boobs, and I HATE them bigtime, I'd give them away if I could. :flamingmad:

 

[MrsBabyCakes]

I'd be more than welcome if you sent them my way..

If they could do successful boob transplantation, I'd gladly swap, I'll tell ya.

I always have to go a size bigger in tops, no matter what my weight, because they just get in the way. I'd love to be a B cup!

Just to let you know Philli is only a HEB on green not a HEA on any plan, it is a choice for it's protein rather than calcium. May hve to bump up your syns a bit..

*runs away*

oh don't run away, thanks for that i did think it prob wasn't but i had eaten so little that day, prob only had a tablespoon of it as there is over half the dip left in the fridge (it goes a long way cos of the yogurt) and six of us had some, so i have prob got away with it..unlike last night's chinese and this morning's mcdonalds muffin and i didn't enjoy either!!! so v few syns for me between now and tuesday

 

[donnajt]

I'd be more than welcome if you sent them my way..

you honestly wouldn't Allie, i had two little handfuls before i had the kids, clothes don't fit right when you are big busted, maybe we could share and get the perfect bust size each lol!

 

[donnajt]

i think i'm chickened out for this week, but def gonna make this...

Simple recipe and delish - would be a good one for you cos you could make up for tea and eat rest for lunch - or snack on them for 4 syns for 6 pieces of chicken you could eat the lot!

Hey get to the back of the queue - Allie asked to swap with me lol. I feel so uncomfortable with mine, I love to turn clock back and be a 34b, i could wear anything and go braless!!!

Thank you for my lovely rep comment, you are an inspiration and its fab to have you back on the boards x

 

[donnajt]

Ok - I have confessed to a chinese but worst still a sausage & egg mcmuffin this morning - it was gross but Paul was so upset (because it would have been his dad's birthday and once again his poxy bros/sisters all went out and he wasn't invited, he is fishing today and woke us all up (grrr!) at 7am with tea and muffins and i didn't have heart to refuse...anyway another excuse but the muffin was gross. So stupid to eat, so now I am going to try and only eat 3-4 syns per day between now and tuesday...just hope i don't gain

the thing about the pic is that i was terrified to have it taken as there is a worst pic taken a couple of days before xmas, i am ill, my hair is scraped back, i am wearing a pair of way too big maternity jogging bottoms and this huge old hoodie of paul's, its what makes me determined to lose weight. One day i hope to be brave enough to share but it sure aint pretty!!!

Thanks for popping in, how old is madam now? Noah is trying not to sleep during the day, its a struggle keeping him in his routine as i work mon, tues and weds, thursday i basicallly have noah clinging to me and whingeing, friday we are almost back and today, he is already down for his 2 hour sleep bliss! am supposed to be doing ironing but its way more fun here xxx

 

[MrsBabyCakes]

My comfort trousers are my Batfink mens lounge trousers , and I have an awful picture of me in my Peruvian hat in bed lol I look terrible!. I woudnt let anyone near me with a camera when I had Bells Palsy, I looked like death. I think we always think we look awful in pictures, but I often get people say I look nice in something, and I think I look like grouch out of sesame street lol. We are our worst critiques init.

 

[sarah83]

Don't worry about the slip ups- as long as you get back on the wagon you'll be fine. Just a shame you didn't enjoy it...
