over the wkend pretty much hit the upper limit and then some on the syn front today i was syn free until this evening have had one waitrose cod fishcake did scrape out the cheese/mayo thing in the middle but encased in loads of breadcrumbs didn't even taste nice and also had most of a courgette pancake recipe so anyway thats all my syns gone for today only had one babybel earlier with my bread roll so hopefully that will account for a small amount of the cheese in the recipes- hate not feeling in control of what goes into my system- oh well tomorrow can only get better

have spent the last few hours sorting out my clothes am giving away all my bigger sized clothes most of them i'm sick of wearing and i've got stuff out of my clothes box (containing lots of clothes in size 14 that i bought during the next sale probably nearly 3 yrs ago) have also shredded lots of docs seem to have had a stockpile of stuff i've just made excuses not to sort out. Well now it's changed and i've finally unpacked the rest of my suff from the holiday! Have cleared lots of space and am feeling more in control of myself and thrown out a fair bit of rubbish. So feeling very pleased with myself.
