    Snow's healthy living ramblings

    That is s difficult one... I can understand how you are feeling. A few years back I lost a lot of weight at Sw, I was finding I was winning slimmer of the week/month regularly so I would often miss a week or go to a different group so that my group didn't get annoyed. But really why should you...

    Where the bargains are at and anything else thats useful.

    I noticed that morrisons had less than 5% fat minced beef in packs of around 450g. These were in the 3 for £10 offer, around 1.350kg for £10. Currently £6 for 750g in tesco so think this works out cheaper and smaller packs which are better for me, can mix and match too :-) They also had fairly...
