    O/T Help! What to wear?

    I agree with Eye, it's not what you are wearing but that you will be there to pay your respects. At my sister's funeral earlier this year I wore a grey skirt, black top and a lovely bright red jacket - I just knew she would approve. If you struggle with the shopping, your black trousers with a...

    Harvester Menu - syns in 'Original Combo'

    Firstly, congratulations for doing so well! Sorry I don't know the syns but I would hazard a good guess to say ribs would not be syn free even without the sauce (someone else might know). Ribs are usually quite fatty I think?? Why not go for a half chicken without skin, tons of salad and a...

    Got measured at bravissimo today!

    Is that Morrisons end of Westerleigh Road? I lived in Brookthorpe off St Briavels Drive so maybe not that far away? Went to King Edmunds - left in 1984 to give you an idea of my age.

    Hula Hoops!

    I've got one although I use the one on the Wii more now though! Just a tip, the bigger they are (i.e wider diameter), the easier they are to use. Worth knowing if like me I was a nightmare when I tried to use a smaller one at the gym!

    Taster session

    Don't do enough for everyone! You usually get enough people doing stuff to cover everyone and it is only a 'taster' after all. Could you do up the receipe and keep half for yourself to have after class?

    Flexi syns?

    It's really interesting that this debate is still going on - it was a hot topic of discussion 10 years ago! When I first joined SW in 1991 you had 10 syns (then still called sins) and if you didn't use them on that day, you lost them - basically tough. On re-joining in 1999, you were told to...

    OMG just realised you live in Yate! That's where I grew up and went to school!!!! Are you a local or have you moved there? I lived there from birth until I moved to Bath in the late 80's for work. My dad and brother are still there and I visit regularly. Blimey!

    Got measured at bravissimo today!

    Could it be anything to do with not stocking anything bigger than an E or F cup in most shops? Why tell you you are a size they can't sell you! On that front, La Senza - bloody useless since taking over from Contessa. They're max cup size is an F - no good for us G's and over.

    Healthy extra (ryvita)

    No worries! It's a bit daft though isn't it - who would choose just 2 rather than 4 - with all that fibre I wouldn't have thought it would make any difference either way if you know what I mean!

    Healthy extra (ryvita)

    It's got an 's' next to the choice for 2 so I think it means if you choose this one it will speed up your weight loss rather than the four (duh!!!) A bit bizarre I'll agree with you. I would go with your choice of 2 HEB wholemeal rolls and syn your ryvitas - that's the best choice Syn wise...

    I love Bravissimo and would buy from them every time if I had the money. I went for a fitting when I reached my target 10 years ago and have never looked back (well in the bra department not the slimming one that is). ;) I registered with them online and they send you catalogues and sales...

    M and S scrummy new 'cup' chocolate cakes

    Hi Tracey. If you use the basic rule of thumb of 20 calories per syn, then it looks like you are looking at 19 - ouch! I'm sure it was worth every mouthful mind. ;)
