Kay's journey to health and happiness

[Kay003]

Ah well you've been frugal all week with your syns so no harm done. Get your pen & paper out & do your shopping list & stick to it, I find if I do this & keep my head down, I'll leave the supermarket with what I actually need & not get my head turned by offers.

Girl at my Group this week brought in jars of low fat sauces that are on offer in tesco this week, the syns were amazing in them, one bloody jar was 14syns I told her no way, even if shared it wasn't worth it & to come on here & check your recipe thread out.

My keys are abit dodgy on my laptop, my fault, een eating & surfing, not a great combo lol, I'll have to give a good shake & hoover to get the crumbs out

Your absolutely right Izzy, I need to resist the temptation and stick to me list ! Yep I also find a lot of sauces and dips even the low fat ones to be quite high. I actually prefer making my own at home, the syns are always much lower. Infact it was only yesterday someone on here was asking for a sw recipe for low fat sour cream. I managed to find one on the net and copied her the link, she was well happy. Might try it out myself, I love sour cream . Oh and about the laptop and food lol I've often woken up in the morning and my laptop has fallen down the side of my bed as I must have dozed off to bed while typing, not exaggerating there, its true .

Indeed it was . So forgetful I am. I'm always writing recipes down, so your not sad. I tear out the pages of my sw magazine when I'm done with it and file the recipes I want to keep. How are you getting on this week Rae Rae ?

Hi Brittany, well I've stayed at home this weekend since I've still got the flu. My friend wanted to go out tonight, just local but I'm not up for it. I did pop out though to Asdas to do my food shop. I'm so on a budget at the moment, not working so really need to spend wisely. That's why I loved the cookathon thing you did last year. I'm just thinking up of some one pot recipes that I can freeze away into containers and have later. Saves me money and time . When I came back from shopping I made a Vegetable Pilau Rice and Speedy Quorn Chicken Korma (not the one on my thread lol that takes longer). How has your day been so far ?

Hi Brittany, thanks I am feeling a bit better. 4 syns is not bad at all, you did well there. Curry with sw chips is a nice combo, proper comfort food for this time of year . Hope your having a nice weekend.
