My bake thing was 10.5 syns so you are right - it would have been much worse if I'd had a pizza (or salad lol).
My friend is pre-ordering the chinese so its ready when we get there. I have asked for plain boiled rice (free), beef in black bean sauce (5 syns) and chicken chow mein (7 syns). Even if I eat all that to myself its only half a syn over as I have only had 3.5 syns on crisps so far today. We will prob share these so I am guessing it will end up being more like 3 for chow mein 2 for beef in black bean....this means that I can have a few of the other bits the rest of them order (like seaweed . I'll just have a little spoon of that as it will be high syns I guess - as its deep fried??! Would that be on syns online? (can you please check if you have a minute spare today pretty please?
My problem is sterring clear of the prawn crackers - MUST STAY AWAY lol!!

prawn crackers are only 1.5 for 5 which i don't think is too bad?
the seaweed isn't listed cooked in fat - it only shows it as free based on it not being deep fried....dunno how you could work that out but there's no way you'll eat the rice, beef & whole chow mein so i reckon you'll be fine
stop being so bloody hard on yourself lady....and just enjoy the evening with your buddies x

This makes me very happy as when i searched before prawn crackers were 2 syns EACH!!!! lovely job! I shall definately be partaking in some of those for 1.5 syns!!
As for the seaweed - I promise not to eat the whole tub hahahaha! I'll just have a spoon and syn it as a tablespoon of oil! No way I can over-estimate that way lol.
what you having for tea tonight?

not too sure what i'm gonna have yet...thinking pasta with superfree, quorn pieces and superfree??
i had cheese and onion "pasty" and beans for lunch but been trying to sort out insurance (again! lol) so need to think about dinner soon i think.
i think 5 for 1.5 is quite good...i actually don't know how they're so low - must just be the oil?
you enjoy yourself tonight...looking forward to having food envy when you report back lol x

are you following slimming world?
going to class or weighing yourself?
if you had a blow out yesterday, it might just be that you're bloated...but i only weigh in once a week - at class and that's the official weight. i wouldn't ever go with what the scales say in between my official weigh in day as our weight fluctuates all the time.
i follow plan all the time, never eat over and i have a gain 1 week out of 4. it always sorts itself out so maybe i retain more fluid that week or could be hormonal - i dunno....but i do know that if you stick to whatever plan you're following, i'm sure you'll see results

Actually the Chinese wasn't as good as it could have been. We were trying my friends new local one and I wouldn't go back lol. It was all a bit greasy but not much flavour!
But I had a good evening and good weekend despite this so never mind!
My star week appeared and OH GOD I feel awful! My stomach has been all over the place and my cramps are so bad. It's been ages since I've had one like this! Only another few days hopefully
Ahh your gain week is so annoying lol. Chin up and carry on to get a loss next week though hun!
I'm on red today but no idea what to have for dinner. Me and bf both struggling to sleep so we didn't get anything out for dinner!! Working late too so could be a take out maybe - chicken shish but no bread maybe?!
How's your day shaping up?!

aww poor you on the cramps thing...100% sympathy from me for ya
shame the chinese wasn't that great but at least you had a good time...maybe it saved you wanting to pick as much at other stuff?
how many syns do you have left today? could you maybe pick up a chinese to half with your bloke...one you might enjoy this time?
my day's ok...been busy with one thing or another for my OH...his own PA/secretary lol and as much as i don't want to go back to work next week, i'm beginning to miss the routine of everything - especially my food!
i've not cooked for my snacky things like i usually do and have noticed the difference of not being prepared as much and although i've stuck to plan, it's been a bit of a battle this week if i'm honest :-/ x

He says he isn't feeling well either so doesn't want dinner (very unlike him) so ill do myself an omelette. Got lots of mushrooms to use up so that will do me. Was just about to say ill have SW chips too but forgot I was on a red day doh!! Lol
Yeah I'm a creature if habit and like routine too. I need to sort out some lunches for the freezer over the weekend or ill start slipping up! When you back to work?!
I've been trying to organise my brain into saving mode today - really want to get my cc bill down a bit and put some money away for an emergency fund/Xmas savings. I think it's silly not to have something put aside just in case - if something happened we would only end up putting more on the cc!!

aww i know how you feel...it really has been one thing after another here for us (money wise)and it's rubbish!]
we have sky (pretty much cos we freeview etc doesn't work so we need it if we want to get a picture on the tele!) and i called last week to say i was thinking about cancelling, i've paid for yrs but they don't offer existing ppl deals etc and an hr and a half later, i have a new box coming, half price package for a year and a new router so if i don't use the landline at all, i'll save £20 a month on that!
i have the repair plan which my oh's said we should cancel so that might be another £10 a month to....not much but over the year it soon adds up.
everyone's the same just now...watching every penny and sometimes its just not fair...especially when so many do fek all but have a life of riley!
anyway....i've had a good day today food wise, done a green and going soon to sit down with some goodies.
i got cheese and onion pom bears yest and the 15g back is only 3.5 syns
i also found funsize galaxy ripples in pound world which are 4.5 and so tasty. i'd never count a big one so these are yummy for a wee change x

When I got virgin in my flat I got a deal but the price just seems to be going up and up. I'm not sure I can get sky but I'm tempted to look into it and switch for a new customer deal. Or maybe virgin would give me a deal to stay?! I need to get some time together to think about it because it was £43 per month and now all of a sudden it's £51! maybe even go to BT or something?! It wouldn't save much but I don't want to have to pay more when I'm not getting any more of a service!!
I'm also going to see if I would save by switching my water bill over. My electric is already the best price it can be and I don't have gas anyway.
Every little helps so they say lol. I'm going in to work early instead of staying late today but had to leave bf at home in bed. Bless him he is really knackered - you can see it in his eyes. All puffy! So he is going in a bit later today. I wish he would just go to bed earlier but he says he can't sleep - he is definitely a night person. Thing is that we have a wedding to go to in a couple of weeks and he is an usher so I want him to look nice in the pics....not like a zombie. Lol. Need to make him rest as much as possible when he isn't working.

couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of a zombie usher lol. poor soul, you know yourself there's nothing worse but at least we can slap on some concealer for the dark eyes lol.
if you could, and went with sky, you'd get the whole new hd box bla bla. my package, phone line rental and broadband was £53 then any calls on top but it's now gonna be under £40 and i'm getting my OH to put an app on his fone which give you free/discounted 0845 no's cos i only really use the landline for those and that's where my call charges come from. potentially if i didn't use the landline at all, after next month the bill could be £35.50 for a year!
i said that bt vision, talk talk were offering me great deals, what could they offer cos i'd just cancel...it is a hassle but think everyone is living on yrly things like that and it's worth a try.
i'll phone next yr and say i'm not wanting to pay the increase amount and see if they have any other deals?
i've paid every month for yrs and you only ever see deals for new customers...sky sometimes offer vouchers when you recommend a friend...like if i recommended you, we'd both get £75 in vouchers and you pick either m&s, tesco etc...good eh!
the bill's in my name but i wouldn't hesitate to cancel and get my OH to take it out...he'd surely be a new customer eh??
what's your plan for today? i'm catching up with an old friend today and i'm really looking forward to it x

Ooohhh well if I do get sky ill def get you to recommend me and we can both get some vouchers lol. I'd go for tesco for the food shopping/maybe Xmas presents as the one near me is huge and has lots of toys and electronics
Being a loyal customer isn't worth it these days - same for car insurance. It's well worth shopping around for all this kind of thing. I'm going to work out best deals all round and haggle as much as I can lol.
I've gone EE today as I'm meeting an old friend for dinner - although this may change when I read the menu for where we are going depending on what I fancy. I've got chicken and bacon salad for lunch with some dressing for a nice change.

i like a chicken and bacon salad, i sometimes have that warm with sw roasties for my dinner on and EE day with some dressing too
next time i see the offer for the vouchers i'll let you know, i'm not sure if it's a constant thing or just every so often.
i'm not sure if i'm green or EE today, i'm kinda worried that my friend might offer me lunch so i'm gonna have some rice with fruit this morning and take the leftovers with me and i have some of last night's tagliatelle left too - figured i could munch it in the car either before i go in or after and say no thanks if she offers....?x

Play it by ere abs see what she says. I would hold back the extra hexb and hexa just in case - you can always make up your mind later depending on if you end up having lunch or not. See how you feel when you get there.
Thank god it's Friday - this week has dragged on for years lol
