Hey Louise24 - glad to see you tried the chutney - HOW good is it?!?!?!? I can see myself making it every 2 weeks! Am just trying to think around any other potential adaptations you could do although the basic recipe is good enough on its own!
OOOh - hol sounds lovely and what a nice inspiration and just far away enough for you to feel like you can make a real difference but close enough that it's not too distant in the future....

Hiya, the chutney is lovely, I eat it straight from the jar, I wish I didn't half the batch size now!
Today has been a good day on the diet front, did a massive shift at work (6am - 4pm) and am exhausted now, going to chill out this evening with a plate of sw cajun wedges (praying i have spuds in cupboard) and then a bubble bath.
Today is my first green day in about 3 weeks - Love it.
B: Porridge (B)
S: Satsuma and apple
L: Jacket potato and beans
S: Bitesize flapjack x 2 (10 syns?)
D: Potato wedges - failing that.... pasta

Hi Boo - here you go (thank you to Boncuk who I copied recipe from). Ohh, also, I made half the quantity and still had over a jars worth.
1kg onions (ı used red onions)
200ml of balsamic vinegar
300ml of cider vinegar
couple of cloves garlic
salt and pepper
5 dessertspoons granulated sweetener
I sliced the onions up small and reasonably thin, added the vinegars and sweetener and then simmered for approx one hour until the vinegar had evaporated and formed a thick sticky sauce. I then transferred into jars and sealed.

Hi Boo - yeah I thought the same, I instantly know when I like clothes and this one made me say "wow" straight away, hehe.
It's from ASOS, they do a plus range called curve and have some gorgeous clothes, a lot of the bigger sizes are frumpy but they always have nice stuff.

Ah ha! Found you! Thought I'd pop over for a visit
Top is really nice! I never seem to find anything I like.
I like EE but don't like missing out on the two HE-x'S so have started alternating red and green, EE is great for the weekends tho and good if your going out for a meal My friend has lost 5 stone on EE alone so it does work - seems so odd that it does!
Have a great day / evening with your friends, hope the foods good!

Hope you had fun at your friends' for dinner
Baked beans aren't superfree (i.e. free on red and green) but they are superspeed and free on green so they are free on EE although they don't count as part of the superfree third of your plate!
But I won't tell if you don't

loving the top lou - ASOS are getting better by the month i reckon. within the last year they've got much nicer stuff in. used to be all very plain and basic.
i bought this a few weeks ago - i love it and everyone keeps telling me how amazing it is it's always nice to have a weight problem but still get people telling you how good you look
