the fish cakes were a disaster and just fell apart, and I just got really fed up and threw it all in the bin so I ended up having steak and mushroom instead

Food plan for tomorrow

Brekkie - grapes, cherries, muller light
Snack - fibre plus bar (5.5 syns)
Lunch - bacon and tomato pitta bread (hexb)
Snack - banana
Dinner - chilli con carne stuffed pepper
Snack - velvet crunch crisps (4 syns), natural yoghurt mixed with options (2 syns)
Total planned syns - 11.5

Chris is on a training course on monday so I think I might finally try the quiche recipe was thinking I could use 2 hexas of cheese (and maybe syn a bit too) and have half the quiche for dinner on monday night and then the other half the following day for lunch

Morning Emmy have a good one,
Shame bout the fish cakes but steak and mushrooms yummy,

Menu sounds lovely. Your focus is amazing. :-)

Hi everyone, I'm sick, yet again not a dodgy tummy this time but a sore throat, blocked nose etc.

I was hoping to get people's opinions on something. When it comes to things like tunes or halls soothers or cough mixture. Do we actually syn them? Or do we just use what we need and keep our syns for stuff that we really want?

It's just that I'm having a really good focused day today despite feeling yuck and I don't want to ruin it by going over syns because of cough medicine etc

Now that's a good question. I am inclined to ignore them, but I don't usually stay on plan when I'm ill.

Maybe I'm not the best person to answer your question then. Have you tried Sudafed Blocked nose spray to clear your nose and sinuses. You don't eat or drink it so it would be free. Then only the throat stuff to worry about. Again I use Ultrachloraceptic Spray (sp) and it works really well and is only a scoot or 2 every few hours. Can't be sure but I'd call it negligible for syns.

Hope you get some relief somehow.

hey sweetie, most sugar free cough sweets are 5 = 0.5 syns if they're not sugar free they are 0.5-1 syn each ....if you need cough mixture most are 1.5 syns per 2 tsps but if you buy Pavacol-D it's sugar free and therefore syn free.
Hope you feel better soon hun xxxx

Sorry you aren't feeling well hun, however I can also vouch for chloroseptic spray, tastes hrorid but it kills all the pain!

My mam is feeling the same at the moment too, and it's horrible to see her suffering - she really doesn't look well at all.
