I'd say yours are too if the cals are the same.. have a look at the NV's n if they're much the same I'd take them as being free..

It doesn't have any beef mince as being free on the list.. Its has Beef - braising beef, lean, fillet steak, lean, silverside, lean, stirloin steak, lean, stewing steak, lean... I s'pose you could buy any of the above in the butchers and ask them to mince it and it'd be free.. But shop bought it isn't.. I suppose they add stuff to it to bulk it and save money (for themselves, not us the consumer!)

Yeah I buy lean steak mince not beef mince but only selected supermarkets seems to have steak mince. Most have beef mince ??

Totally agree! They clearly made theirs free so you buy them .... Slimy sods! Buuut technically if yours are same cals etc then I dont see why you couldn't use them ... Ww makes out like their stuff has special weight loss powder in dont they haha xxxxxxx

It does say calorie controlled.. Not just WW brand.. So if yours are of similar NV's they'd be free too..

Taaaar tracy ... A massive help =)
 
I had some for lunch again today.. Last of it will be for tomoro's lunch.. Its yummy isn't it?!
WOW.. Your little girl is having some?! Well done miniLaura.. That's SOOO good for her.. (And you get yer calcium from too :D)
 
All the family eats what I eat they just get more healthy fatty snacks than I do. My son had it a while ago too and he's one, my daughter is begging for more so I doubt my pot of soup will last till lunch tomorrow hehe x
 
That's really good... Let her have as much as she wants ha ha..
My niece used to run to my house when she'd see me dragging in my bags of shopping.. She knew I'd have "funny fruit" in my bags and she loved it.. She named it "funny fruit" coz her Mam only ever bought apples, maybe oranges sometimes but that was it..
Whereas I buy grapes, pineapples, melon... funny fruit.. ha ha..
So i'd let her eat whatever she wanted (within reason) from it.. As long as its fruit r veg in my book they can fill their boots :D
 
My kids like different fruit too, their favourite is pomegranate, lychees and cherries. Me and my daughter get through a punnet of blueberries or raspberries every day. Oh and lidls cherry tomatoes mmmmmmm!

So bloody expensive tho:(

Yea I think its ridiculous to have the like of fruit as expensive as it is.. I like that the supermarkets do the 2 for €3/3 for €3 offers now tho..
I have to say my niece n nephews from one of my brothers LOVE proper food.. If I give them a choice of a roast dinner or chipper/McDonalds.. the roast dinner would win every time.. If n when they do get Maccers they get fruit bags instead of chips..
But their parent eat complete junk food for their own dinner..
Saying that, their kids also love biscuits n stuff too..
But then my sisters daughter and my other brothers son are the COMPLETE opposite.. Will eat crap til the cows come home but its torturous to get real food into them..
 
When people say to me that their young kids are such good eaters I tell them to make the most of it coz as soon as they go to school al that can change. My son was fab until he went to school would eat anything then as son as he started school that all changed it was really upsetting. But he's great now, he eats absolutely anything. But my little girl it's a battle with every night, she never had 1 jar of baby food as a baby only ever 'real' food but once she started to do 3 Full days in Pre school all that changed too she's awful she would live on chorizo sandwiches at the mo. luckily she does enjoy fruit and veg but not 'proper meals' so as long as I can see her eating lots of fruit and veg I feel it's ok. But coz we eat so well and I don't take her rubbish I let her get on with it I don't give in to her, and i just say 'oh well you'll be hungry' coz I can't force her to eat, as much as I'd like to sometimes.
I reckon she'll change tho like her brother she'll discover she is actually hungry and she does like what she's being given and that there is no other alternative she'll be ok.
When we go out for dinner my son who's 8 always asks for good things off of the menus, we went out for fathers day and he asked for mussels and the chef came out and shook his hand it was really cool.

Ha ha ha.. Sounds like you're talking about me as a kid there Tracy.. I was awful.. My poor Mam.. But back then no way would you catch me eating any sort of veg!! I liked fruit but again it was the usual apples, banana's n oranges.. Maybe the odd peach r plum but that was it.. then she'd find something I'd eat and I'd have it for MONTHS on end..
Her mistake tho was she'd cook whatever she thought I'd eat.. She didn't do (IMO) the "right" things and do what you're doing with your little girl.. She made me my dinner and the rest theirs.. And this is how I became I spoilt little madam who threw a tantrum n got her own way.. Unless Daddy was around.. Then she'd cut out the need for my tantrum n giv me my way so he didn't give out.. Yes.. I was the meaning of the work BRAT!!
 
I was terrible as a child too, I only ate chicken, roasties and chrisps and thats about it. My tastes completely changed when I started the pill and I'll eat more or less anything now. Both my kids are the complete opposite, my daughter asked for winkles one day in a restaurant and the waitress didn't even know what she was talking about, my sons favourite is chicken, butterbean and smoked paprika pasta. But again they'll eat anything. I'd imagine its very worrying to have a child that doesn't eat, I must have broke my mums heart.
 
I'm still rubbish :( bad times!

Glad u cleared up the free-ness! Makes me tempted to try it :) x
