The Princess Diaries ♥ (DIARY CLOSED - LINK TO NEW DIARY ON LAST PAGE)

I've seen a few people mention it....what is aromat? And whereabouts does it live in the supermarket? Xx

Oooh you need to invest!! It's an all purpose seasoning and it's down the aisle with all of the other herbs and spices. It's in a really retro looking pot. I use it in loads of things - particularly on my chips as it gives them a nice crispness. It has almost a "southern fried" kind of taste, reminds me of curly fries. It's 7 Syns for the whole pot, but it literally lasts months so the Syns per serving are pretty much non existant xx

Hey chick!

I'm on nights hence the awful time of day to be posting! I have a very random question but I'm doing my meal plan for the week and am planning a roast dinner on Monday. I remember reading on your diary that you used gravy pouches...can you remind me of what it's called and syn value please m'dear?
Xx
 
Great idea listing the positives for the day! X

I've been so down and negative lately, so I thought that by taking the time out to think of the good things that have happened each day then it might help me to become a bit more positive. I definitely feel a lot better than I did at the beginning of the week :) xx

Hello lovely! You're probably tucked up fast asleep now :giggle:

I use the Bisto Pour Over pouches. The beef and chicken flavours are 2 Syns for the pouch, and the turkey flavour is 2.5 Syns. You get quite a bit in a pouch too, and I often add some boiling water to it (after putting it into a jug) to make it go even further. Really good Syn-wise! xx

Well, first day of the Easter break and I've been awake since 6.30am! No chance of a lie in, stupid body clock :giggle: Not to worry though. I'm off to the gym at 9 so I'm just going to laze around in bed until then.

Too early for breakfast this morning, as I don't usually have it until around 10am but will be at the gym then. So going to have a nice big breakfast when I get home, yummy!!

Thanks Yvonne! Had a tough but good workout this morning, now just waiting for my brunch to cook, yummy! Have a lovely day xxx
 
It's too early in the morning for me to eat much! I had a cup of green tea and a HiFi light before I went. Brunch almost ready, can't wait now! Yum :) xx
 
Probably! But if I ate breakfast and then went to the gym I'd throw up lol! xx


Just had my big brunch, was blooming lovely!

I'm the same as Stevie, if I eat right before exercise I get stitches and feel like I want to throw up. Once I went to kettle bells and had pasta for my tea not long before I went I've never felt so sick in my life! So if I went to the gym on a morning I'd probably only have an apple or a hifi light or something.

always starving after exercise too so a big breakfast afterwards would suit me grand :)

Well, as you all probably predicted I am going out tonight.

Last Saturday my best friend Katie's grandad passed away. I've not had chance to see her since, so I was going to go round and see her tonight. But she's text and ask if I want to go out instead, as she could do with getting out of the house and taking her mind off things.

I am hoping to hold off from alcohol for as long as possible. And then once I feel tempted I'll stick to strictly vodka and diet coke. One bonus is that i can't drink too much anyway as I'm driving tomorrow, so need to stay in a fit state for that.

I promise I won't do a runner. No matter what happens tonight I will be back tomorrow xx
 
Morning guys, promised I'd be back! :)

Last night was okay, I was in by about 10.30 so didn't do too much damage...hopefully! Had 2 and a bit bottles of wine between us and I did get a sandwich and a packet of crisps from the shop on the way home. Not feeling guilty about it though which is a big step from last week.

I'm off to the gym soon for CXWORX and Body Combat so I'll update with my eats once I'm back!
