[MiniB]

Exciting about the flights Jan. Great! Maybe Maldives another time?

 

[JanD]

Dunno bout the Maldives Bev but fingers crossed, you never know

No weekend for me Sandra .. OH actually I lie! I should be doing fri, sat & sun nights but I'm actually off on sunday so I WILL have a sunday evening xx

 

[summergurl]

Sunday evening in prep for dancing on ice!! Do you watch it Jan?xx

 

[JanD]

Ooooo yes great!!! I'm a sucker for all these types of shows. There's a few things 'coming soon' that I like. The VERY best ever being Brothers & Sisters but this series is only 18 episodes and is probably the last series ... noooooooo!! will have to make the most of it! The Good Wife started last night and I forget what others. But they make up for the 'loss' of Strictly, X factor and I'm a celeb. How sad am I??!!

Gotta go do some ironing ... boooooo xx

 

[JanD]

Ironing done and been to Asda ... sweet & sour ww sauce is £1. Frozen ww meals are 5 for £5 for the ordinary ones and 4 for £5 for the 'special' ones. They are the old ones but I took a chance and got a few ... fyi converting to pps they are all less than double the old ones as a rough guide.
Beef Hotpot is 6pp (3.5)
Ocean Pie is 5pp (3.5)
Beef Lasagne is 7pp (4.5)
Shepherds pie is 6pp (4)

I got some cadbury's brunch bars on offer at £1 for pk of 6. Sunflower seeds, hazelnuts & raisins ones are 3pp.

I've seen on a thread somewhere on the ww forum somebody saying that Asda Extra Light Mayo is 0pp for either 3 or 4 tblsps. It isn't! 1 tblsp is 0pp but 2, 3 or 4 tblsps work out to 1pp. I got some coz i couldn't get any laughing cow extra lights (0pp for 1!! 1pp for 2) and I wanted something to spread on my wrap for work. It's okay but not as nice as extra light salad cream, but that's 1pp for 15g.

Sorry ... rambling a bit xx

 

[summergurl]

Ramble away Jan.
Am off to asda on monday so will check out the ww deals. I'm sure there is bound to be a few on at the mo. Like the idea of the meals though and 5 for a fiver is a bargain, that'd be my meals for the week sorted and on a budge! :giggle: Im such a cheapo!!!!!

Got to admit, i buy the asda elf mayo but i dont like it much so always end up adding a bit of pepper to it just to make it a bit less blurgh.

Good find with the laughing cow ex light too xxx

 

[JanD]

Ta - they used to have them in tescos - tbh I didn't like them much but I thought as a bit of moisture on a wrap they might be ok.

There's loads of varieties in the meals & you'd only need to get a bit of veg to bulk them out ... bargain! xx

 

[summergurl]

And of course, veg is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

 

[SandraB]

M&S had all their Count on us on special offer yesterday, two for the price of three so I bought six. All about 400 cals or under per meal and quite a good portion, I haven't worked out how many pp's they are yet.

I wish that we had Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's, we're getting Waitrose in March which will be a start.....our supermarkets are rubbish!

 

[JanD]

LOL!! Oh that did make me laugh!! 2 for the price of 3 eh?? :8855::8855: xx

 

[summergurl]

What there are no main supermarkets on jersey?!!!!!

 

[SandraB]

The Co-Op and Morrisons/safeway and, of course, good old M&S. It costs a fortune to live here.......the average price of a 3 bedroomed house has just been published as £475,000 down from £495,000 ....

 

[kered]

I usually buy the Hellmans Extra Lite Mayo, I love that one, but not as nice as the full fat one.

I bet you are getting excited about Oz now Jan.

 

[JanD]

Still think it's scarey .. dunno why really.
I love ff hellmans too! xx

 

[kered]

OH I do too Jan, mixed with lots of Tuna and Sweetcorn.

Hey, actually drooling over something healthy here well with the exception of the FF Hellmans.

 

[SandraB]

Have you tried a brand called Maille? I swear I can eat it with a spoon, it's delicious with chips! They do wonderful grainy mustard too.....
