Oh yes! fry lite is a must for me - i love my roast pots and carrots, sunday dinners are not sunday dinners wthout them!, ive also picked up the salad dressing one with the balsamic one in but havent yet tried it out
They are homemade (h/m) so i know exactly whats in there, i tend not to eat sausages that much so tend to stick with the asda gfy ones

Note to self:
Steak dinner was absolutely divine, especially the mushrooms cooked with frylite and garlic, mmmmm.
Also tried a frozen muller lite, the vanilla with chocolate sprinkles, heaven.
Just now waiting for the lime jelly and nat ff yoghurt to set, i tried it before it was set and it was lush, i have a small ramikin and am thinking i could crush up 1 digestive and make some sort of cheese cake, worth a precious syn (or couple of!)

well done with the 6lb loss!! cheesy grins are compulsory
the cheesecake idea sounds good - but the trouble with using 1 digestive is the rest of the packet!!
