Yay. Amazing news sausage. I am so delighted for you. Hopefully your confidence has had a boost too . What about your clothes - are they feeling any looser ? (do you have properly fitting clothes or are you still wearing stuff that is too big ?).

Hope this week is another good one for you.

I posted this today on the bargains thread

Just been to Home Bargains and got...

chickpeas - 29p per can
jalapenos - 89p per big 480g jar
panda liquorice - £1.19 per 240g bag

I am sorted for houmous for ages now! I have seen the SW vegan ladies talking about this liquorice, but not tried it until today. WOW it is gorgeous and only 0.5 syn per sweety.

I am still sore as hell today from Sunday's workout. Worse than yesterday I reckon. Done my hula today though. Going to have a radox bath and some wine tonight cos I'm on holiday

 

[B's lovely lady]

Ooooh panda liquorice.... I'm
Intrigued - where did you get it??? I was very excited when I was in m&s and saw they had gelatine free Percy pigs.... Excited that was until I saw it was 1 syn per pig!!!!! The packet went back straight away.....!!!!!

 

[silly sausage]

The liquorice was from Home Bargains. I think it is a national chain.

I was on the look out for Haribo giant sour strawberries. Interweb says they are vegan. Not found them in the shops yet.

Oooh thanks for the info on the Percy Pigs!

I volunteer to try them! lol

Ooh liquorice - lovely. Haven't had any for ages. Is it just the plain black bits? Half a syn sounds decent. I do love a liquorice allsort too, they're 2 syns each I think. The danger is buying a whole bag of the stuff and having to moderate your intake. That's why I haven't had any for ages I suppose, I just don't trust myself!

 

[Beegee]

ps - didn't say well done to you for your fantabulous loss this week - nice work SS!

I don't eat Allsorts, but love other aniseedy things (pernod, Fox's glacier blacks, fennel bulbs and seeds) so am chuffed to have found this liquorice. They were also selling it in bars (5 syns each I think). This is probably a safer buy for me than the big bag

Exercise: 25 mins hula hoop

I misread that as "25 mini hula hoop." :8855: I had this image of you eating lots of very small hula hoops as your exercise :8855: I don't know why it makes me giggle so much but it is ... I think I'm very tired :8855: Oh dearie me .... :8855:
