oh i forgot it was steak tuesday for you...enjoy! 
think the superfree is working...big time...cos i'm full of wind (tmi! lol) but it's amusing me cos my OH is like...."ffs!" hehe.
i just sat down with my dinner and had carrot/suede mash on my plate and he was like...awww do you need to! lmao...c'mon the superfree
dinner was nice, made a baked potato for quickness so put a spoonful of cottage cheese in rather than syn butter, had the peppered steak and the veg and have a wee bowl of fruit salad to have in a bit x

Hahaha. Your poor OH!! Lol. That's the downside of SuperFree I guess lol.
Steak night was good. I had 2 syns worth of butter in my potato. So that took me to 9.5 for the day. Got in late so I didn't have any treats which gives me a few in the bank for later in the week if I need them.
What treats did you have last night or was it just fruit salad!?
I'm on EE today. Fruit, yoghurt and cereal bar for breakfast. Risotto and salad for lunch with some crisps and my other cereal bar for hexb. The risotto is my hexa. Dinner is stew. Bf says he is going to cook it and we have some dumpling mix as well so I'm going to spend some syns there. I worked out that 1/4 of the bag is 7.5 syns so told him to make me one or two little ones out of that amount fingers crossed it works and he does it right.
What's your plan today?

ooh your dinner tonight sounds lovely! hopefully he tries to get as many out of the pack as possible....more is always better (even when it works out the same syns lol)
had 2 wee chocolates last night and some hoops and crosses. made scan bran cake for the 1st time in a while so having that with fruit this morning,just grabbed a cup a pasta thing for lunch but not had it before so not too sure i'll like it and i took quorn chilli out for dinner which i'll either have then, or keep it for lunch tomorrow.
that's my freezer stocks for meals i've cooked run out so i think mac and cheese and a big pot of quorn chilli is required to bung a few meals back in!
ideal that you didn't use all your syns...but didn't feel like you missed out and like you say, you can have something another time to use the extra up
are you up to date on homeland/the blacklist??x

Well the dumplings didn't end up being a problem because he forgot to make them lol. The stew was good though - even though it was difficult to avoid bread and butter with it lol.
I'm all sat down and snuggled now. I have used 5.5 syns today so plenty to treat myself with now. I've got a cuppa and a mini twirl (6)
What's your treats today? How was your day?

oooh i love twirl!
do you remember the cadbury's spiral that was out years ago? LOVED them!
infact...all things cadburys are winners! lol
stew sounds good...maybe a bonus that he forgot the dumplings now that you can have your twirl?
treats tonight are a funsize mars bar and some hoops and crosses
my day was busy and i've only just sat down with no bits or bobs to attend to....finally! nothing specific but just this or that - you know one of those days?
done now though and i was stressing earlier trying to sort lunches for tomorrow and 3 seperate dinners for tonight...and then i thought stop grumbling woman...you're just after saying you didn't know what to do with yourself when you had no sw food to prepare! hehe.
all sorted for work etc now so nothing left to do other than eat goodies...yaaas!
how was your day?x

Ooohhh I remember spiral! Yeah I'm totally happy with a twirl instead of dumplings. I had a mini flake too (4 syns which I technically shouldn't have as it took me over half a syn but who cares ) It was a really nice treat so I'm happy!
I am not very prepared for tomorrow but it seems like too much effort to get back up and sort it out lol. I was planning to have a green day tomorrow and was going to make a stuffed pepper but that ain't happening now lol. I have some soup left in the freezer so that will have to do instead. Lol

soups are ideal for minimum fuss - well, once they're made anyway.
i really need to start trying different ones...i just end up sticking to the same one all the time and have done for years lol!
1/2 a syn over....oooooh you rebel!!
my goodies were nice too, i'm gonna head to bed soon i think but have some cheese left that i didn't have earlier (i'd weighed it out then didn't use it at the time) so gonna nibble that then head up.
it's been raining all day today and windy too....i hate that more than anything - the wind and rain together cos it's one thing getting soaked but the wind blowing my hair about at the same time = riot hair doo's lol.
hopefully it settles through the night x

Yeah I tend to make the same soups as well. I only ended up with this one because I had some leftover leeks to use up so I stuck it in the pot with the rest of the BNS I had and some stock. Seasoned with salt and pepper and then chucked a bit of sage in. It's really nice so win win for me
I like making soups that you can put on and then leave to cook while you do something else and just blitz at the end. BNS is a firm favourite of mine.
Well looks like bf has eaten up most of the other mini chocs I had so I'm glad i did have the extra now!! I did hide some away in another place but won't be long til he finds them as well. *sigh*
Green for me today. I've got cereal and an apple for breakfast. Soup for lunch with some crisps and yoghurt. I'm splitting my 2nd hexb so one slice of bread to dunk and one hifi (which bf also ate two of last night!!!!) then dinner is linda mc sausages and mash. The crisps and sausages will take me to 6 syns so I'll be able to have a treat tonight and prob a bit of butter in my mash!
What's on your menu!?

oh grrr to him!
especially on the hifi's ....they're like gold dust! lol
i'm lucky, my OH wouldn't even attempt to try them cos he's too busy digging in to his own goody cupboard lol.
today is green as well for me although i've only used 1/2 HEb so far so depending on dinner, it might change.
had quorn chilli and rice at lunch time (cold) and it was good...def need to make some to freeze cos it's so handy just to take it out the freezer!
i've not had proper mash for ages....i just don't make it cos i wouldn't syn butter...and i wouldn't have it without it in ! lol x

Grr him indeed!!! It's only because I refused to go to the shop and buy him biscuits (because I was already in my pj's!!)
I realised earlier that in only took one hexb with me to work so I have two cereal bars with my name on for my cuppa later on. I have also only used 8 syns so can really go to town if I want to lol
How was your day hun?

bonus on the syns and HEB...love it when that happens
my day's been good thanks, good on the food front day and i can honestly say, i've loved being back on it this week.
have no expectations for WI on monday, if i lose from my last weight then great, if i sts then that's decent too considering last weekend lol and if i have a gain, then it's justified (and prob not as bad as what it could've been had i not got straight back on it!)...but either way, i've had a great week so far!
i made a tomato pasta thing for dinner which i had half of and the other half is in the freezer for a lunch next week.
also tried the koko dairy free milk with chocolate and made up some quinoa (to use the last of it) to see what it was like....not too bad but i made my little one porridge with it for supper and he loved it!
he loves porridge but having discovered the option of chocolate tasting porridge has blown his wee mind lol, but i'd never make him it at night time!
great alternative to him having nutella or something stirred in (which we tried for the 1st time the other week) and he thinks i'm the best mum on the planet "letting" him have chocolate stuff at night
the little things eh lol.
gonna go settle with a mini crunchie and some hoops and crosses (which are out of date so hopefully still edible!) and i also have 1/2 HEb left if i need it before i eventually goto bed....can't beat having too much food choice eh x

Aww bless him - that is really cute! You are a top mum I used to think that when I was allowed chocolate milk lol.
I have had my hifi bars and a mini packet of choc buttons for 4 syns so I am well and truly satisfied and ready to head to bed lol.
I've made up some couscous and salad for lunch tomorrow so I can get an extra 10 mins in bed in the morning

Lol. I know what you mean. Nothing more depressing than an empty crisp packet lol.
Are you talking about 'the moaning of life'?! I think he is brilliant. I agree with a lot of what he says but sometimes it seems like he is from another planet lol.
Blacklist tonight!!! Bf is going out I think but I'm still going to watch it and he can catch up when he gets in haha.
I'm on EE today and got couscous and salad for lunch. Not sure if I will have crisps or not (need to go to the shop if so and then I won't have many syns for a treat tonight). Dinner is a pastry pizza type thing with a sheet of puff pastry topped with tomato purée, ham and veg. Will have to syn some cheese for the top!
What you got planned?!

oh your dinner sounds nice! not had pastry for ages!
love karl pilkington...i can also relate to him...but he so amuses me!
i've taken chicken out for dinner so could be EE today...but if i decide to keep it for tomorrow, i might try the quorn meatballs, have been dying to have them all week but just not sure what to have them with other than the usual tomato type sauce?
if you go for crisps, can you get some 10p corn snack things? (well, prob 20p nowadays hehe) but they're usually ok calorie wise?x

yes I could def get some of those space raider type crisps i suppose. think they are about 3.5 syns from memory. I may change today to green.....I have been thinking about what I have got and think I can prob just about do it!
I have ham in my couscous but only 2 slices chopped up. 100g ham is a hexb on green so I think this would be about a hex worth. I also have one cereal bar with me which i will syn (3.5). Then I would have a hexa to use for the cheese tonight as well. Which would mean my syns would be crisps (3.5), cereal bar (3.5) and pastry (3) which gives me some to spare for a treat. Just means a veggie 'pizza' for me tonight which i can easily cope with!!!
I would do a nice tomatoey sauce with the meatballs - lots of garlic and basil for flavour and some pasta. that sounds like a nice dinner to me! You could even use a hexb and make 'garlic bread' by crushing some garlic and mixing with some parsley, cut the roll in half and stick it under the grill and cook one side til crispy. Turn over and spray with frylight and put the garlic mix on and cook til crispy! Its a really nice treat for me when i do it! (you could even have cheese on it for hexa as well mmmmm)

good idea!
i'm gonna do green today again too, got those quorn burgers i love so have taken a wm roll out the freezer which will be ready by dinner time.
2 slices of ham surely won't be 100g? i reckon it would be 1/2 a HEb if you're lucky?
your space raiders might be more depending on the size of the pack...the multipack ones are 3 so if you're getting them from the shop it'll def be a bigger packet.
replied on the other thread but the special k chewy delights are still listed as a b choice...on all plans x

I'm so confused about these!! Can you point me to where you check on the website as I'm obv not using it properly lol. This makes me very happy though because I love them (and my local £1 shop always stocks them!!!)
I was wondering about how much ham would be 100g but didn't want to be 'wishfully thinking' but if you also think half a hex then I'll count my cereal bar as the other half you have made my day lol.
Mmmm burger sounds great. I really enjoyed mine the other day - feels so naughty lol.

what kind of ham was it? wafer thin or decent ham where you get maybe 5 slices in a pack? surely 2 slices isn't 100g???
to look for the HE's, i clicked on syns online then at the top it says latest healthy extras and just take it from there.
wish i could find them on offer for £1...my little one loves them but i refuse to pay £2 for 4 and the load i bought last time are done
gonna have the quorn burger for lunch (like now lol) and make cheesy potato and broccoli bake - a girl on another thread posted the recipe for me last night x
