    Has anybody ever tried apple cider vinegar tablets? They are meant to help with fluid retention and help weight loss. I've taken them for 3 days and gained 3lb. Could be coincidence.

    Well done on not eating the cake. If there was one in front of me right now I'd eat the wrapper and all. Mission I'm delighted that you are changing groups. The leader sounds horrible.

    Just looked up the syns... Can't find the one I used but all the dried packs of casserole mix seem to be 6 syns. And its made up with water. That's a great idea about the smash. Its free isn't it? I used thickening granules in it to thicken it. Never thought there might be syns there though.

    I'm in Ireland as well but I go up north shopping every few months and get it then. I don't think anywhere in the republic sells anything like it. Its a Sainsbury own brand.

    Wouldn't have thought it was syn free if its in oil. Sainsbury do frozen garlic in little cubes... One cube is equal to one clove. Just pop it into the pan frozen and it defrosts straight away.
