Yeah the one I went to is quite a trek away but we were in the area so popped in for a nose! There's not many round here, not that I've seen anyway. We have about 4 lidl's though!

slow but steady!
Yeh I like Lidl too and have one just up the street, they are pretty good value and the offers are good. Just wish it wasn't such a trek to my nearest Aldi it's over in a part of town that I never go to and also has no free parking at it 
Once I'm back on my feet will take a walk over I do like having cereal bars to snack on, don't really use them for breakfast though not filling enough x

EE today
Breakfast: coffee (part A)
Lunch: tuna sweetcorn sandwich (HEB plus 3 syns) harvest morn cereal bar (3 syns) satsuma
Dinner: leftover chilli, brown rice, veggies (superfree sauce plus broccoli & carrots)
Snacks: 1 pink & white (2.5 syns) 2 bananas, 2 satsumas, kiwi berries, harvest morn cereal bar (3 syns) coffee (rest of HEA)
Total syns: 11.5
Hmm yeah, two bananas! Jeezo. Need to go shopping, we have no yogurts, just enough satsumas for lunch at college the rest of the week and no snacky things, so I went on a banana binge tonight. We have 7 syn cereal bars and 5 syn crisps but I'm trying to keep syns low to balance it all out!
Aaaand also I am really hoping for a good loss this week to get into the 19s (or maybe get my 2st sticker!!) so if I don't get one I am revisiting this EE business.
Edited to add that since writing about wanting a good loss I cannot stop thinking about WI day - it seems so far away!!!!

Hello!! Admittedly I haven't got through your entire diary but I am now subscribed. It seems you, I and IRC just follow each about the forum these days. The boards need to worry when we all start cackling.....
I LOVE aldi but it's just too far from me- I'd spend more in travel costs than my usual shopping. Must be worth a weekly trip for fruit tho, I'm sick of paying Asda fruit prices.

Hey Jez
oh don't worry my diary is mostly just food entries and me rambling, you haven't missed much by skipping to the end I think Aldi need to open more Aldis so we can all shop there more often! Tbh I think my nearest Asda is about the same distance as the Aldi, just at different ends of town, it's just inconvenient.

Look what I got!!!!!!
I hope that worked? If you can't see the pic let me know, or else I will feel like a fool lol.
So, 4lbs off this week!!! Taking me into the 19s
and to a total of 2 stone 1 pound loss I am seriously excited! I was so nervous before I went up to weigh in, I thought I was going up there to see a STS staring back at me, or a gain, this week I've been planning to switch to red thinking EE had stopped working... well it hasn't!
Woooooooooooooooooooooop!!!!!!!!!!!

Like the sound of smoked fish risotto, is it your own recipe Chef Penguin??

Lmao that made me chuckle!
It is actually, but I only use Asda's finest smoked river cobbler, because no other type or brand of fish taste as good as this one. The rice also has to be Asda's own brand, Tesco won't do! And make sure you stir it five times to the right and seven to the left, using a saute pan and a wooden spoon, also bought from Asda. If it doesn't bubble after 10 minutes you're doing it wrong and should post a comment below to a) make me more money and b) be ridiculed by other chef types.
That was my best impression of a YT guru btw... lol *sits back as Tesco goes bust*

Yeah you do deserve it. I tend to just keep an "idea" of what I've had and that normally ends up being 4....because I don't remember anything after that. So 4.
