why don't you ask them how/what they use to make the soup then you might be able to put a syn value on it

Hadn't thought of that! I will if I get chance as they're always really busy. Infact I should find a SW recipe for one and make my own

Hi Anne - are you enjoying the Bank Hoilday weekend?

Yes thanks are you? Have you been up to anything nice?

We replaced the roof on the chicken run yesterday. Well, the royal "we" as I just helped get the sheets up there and left DH to fasten them in place -lol

We're currently on a hunt for a couple of throws for the settee and a chair in the dining room but are having no luck in finding any we like in two different sizes. Been out and about to Homesense, Dunelm Mill and Next today and still no luck We also went to TK Maxx proper and I tried on 15 pairs of jeans and couldn't find one pair that fitted me properly Nearly had a domestic as DH couldn't understand why!!

Spooky -lol and yes they are but not quite as long lasting as I'd hoped. That's probably me though-lol

It wasn't a pretty sight - pmsl Thing is though I took in 14's, too big, 12's too big and had to go out for 10's. Sorry but there is no way I'm a size 10 so I reckon that sizing is all to pot everywhere.

 

[donnajt]

Have you tried M&S? they (i think they still do) loads of different cuts for different shapes - other than that don't trinny & susannah and gok wan have ranges in catalogues for shapes - i think t&s are very (used to be littlewoods)

if a size 12 is too big then you take the 10 and go girl!

OH must be loving the new you x

Breakfast:
A large bowl of raspberries with a Shape Zero yog poured over

Snack:
1 Alpen light (3 syns)
1 banana

Lunch:
2 slices of nimble wholemeal - HXB with baked beans and 3 medallions of bacon
Shape zero yog

Tea:
Chilli with peppers and mushrooms thrown in served with boiled rice. Used Schwartz Tex Mex sachet at 6/12 syns. Synning my portion at 1 1/2 syns
Raspberries, shape zero yog and 2 mini meringues (2 syns?)

Curly wurly (5 syns)

Don't know what it is with chillis but I am really not enjoying them now even prior to SW. Have tried making my own from scratch, using different mixes etc and although they smell great when cooking there is something missing with the taste

Yay, I have new jeans that fit properly:clap:

Shows how ridiculous sizing is though and it was still a saga. Went to New Look to find a size 12 skinny flare as the 14 in my local one were too big. Found a 12, tried them on and they were absolutely mahoosive. I've lost just 1 lb since I tried on the size 14 and these size 12's were over 8 inches too big around the waist!!! Ended up in Debenhams, after numerous other shops, and found a Red Herring pair that fit well. I ended up having to buy a size 10 DH, off work this week and with me has at long last realised that all my moans and complaints about sizing are correct as there is no way on earth I am a size 10!!
