But we’re saving it for tomorrow night!! Mum liked the taste too!! She was surprised when I said the sauce was made with yogurt!!

Dinner tonight, shepherds pie (2 syns for the cheesy mash), steamed veg

Lunch; Syn free speed veg minestrone soup
Small portion of sw classic cheese and onion pie (3 syns for cheese- it was a small slice!!)
