Hello back stalker Emmy, nice to see you!!! Applekath I haven't tried the First Cape yet, have ordered some and will arrive with my asda delivery on Tues, saving it for the weekend so I'll let you know!! I see a few people on the other thread have tried the Banrock Station and liked it, wouldn't it be lovely to open a bottle and know your not going over your daily syns allowance!!
Well I went well over my syns on Saturday but did manage some damage limitation!!
Saturday's food went as follows: Green Day
Breakfast: Two Quorn sausages (2 syns), a tin of baked beans, mushrooms and tomatoes and two slices of wholmeal toast ( HE b x 2)
Cup of tea (HEa milk) and a couple of green teas.
Dinner: Sweet chilli noodles and a salad (in the pub)
15/20 G and T's 37.5 to 50 syns! (over a 12 hour period!) I am pretty sure the total is nearer 15 but allowing for any sneaky doubles someone may have bought although I was adamant I only wanted singles!!
Sunday's food: EE
Early breakfast:2 quorn sausages (2 syns), baked beans and a slice of wholemeal toast (HEb)
Cups of tea (HEa milk)and a couple of green teas.
Brunch: (Hungry after drinkies the previous day!) A jacket potato with left over quorn spanish chicken (Quorn, tomato, passatta, onion, carrott, peppers, celery)
Tea in pub: 2 coffees with milk from HEa and a chicken and bacon salad, no dressing.
Supper: Beef stew(lean stewing steak, onions, carrotts and peas, sprinle of gravy granules) spoonful of mashed potato, savoy cabbage.
I am pleased that I eat out twice this weekend and stayed on plan and avoided the temptation of chips, melted stilton, too much bread or potato and puddings....I also stuck to single gins even when offered double's for an extra pound/50p/20p!!! and had the occational extra tonic to top up rather than another gin!! Just need to be very good till Wednesday, careful with the carbs....absolutely no more alcohol and frugle with the syns, I would so love to get my stone this week...need to lose a couple of lb's to get there!!!
Monday's Menu:
EE
Breakfast: 2 Weetabix with skimmed milk and a chopped banana (HEa and b)
Large mug of tea
Lunch: Large mixed salad and mackerel fillets in tomato sauce, muller light.
Snacks: Apple, banana and a cheesey mugshot (2syns) will only have if desperate!!
Dinner: I think Quorn chilli with kidney and baked beans, pepper, tomato, onion and pasatta with either rice or a small jacket spud, or a quorn cottage pie...dependant on what the family fancy!!

Syns so far this week around 15 foodie ones (allowing for sprinkles of gravy granules and the odd blob of a condiment), 40 to 50 gin one's and about 15 wine ones after WI last Wednesday so counting them in this weeks allowance.
