    Class or no class???

    To give another point of view as most above all go to class - I am going it alone after going to class just short of a year. Most of the time i didn't stay past weigh in anyway as if I am honest I just found them boring. I weigh myself each Monday morning and write it in my Slimming World book...

    How important are HEXs? Can you go without?

    curry night

    If you get it with a jacket it will be like 20+ syns so just get it as it is, worth the 4.5 syns :) They sound horrid, I wouldn't want to bond with them at all! At least you can attack them with hot chilli if they start ;)
  141. M

    curry night

    Just opt out from curry - maybe say you don't like curry and get the five bean chilli with rice and torillas which is 4.5 syns on green/EE :) Its lovely too, its made with quorn mince so I think the syns come mainly from the tortillas but the meal is worth 4.5 syns! xxxx
  142. M
