    Opinions, please????

    I just wrote a long detailed opinion as to why you should buy and then my phone decided to be rubbish (see my thread in off topic). Essentially I said if YOU like it, you should buy it. Have you seen it only online or in the flesh too? I find I often see things online and thinks it's gawjus...

    Changing from iPhone to HTC

    Hello all. I'm now allowed an upgrade on my phone and I'm not sure what to get. I've had the iPhone 3Gs for about 20 months now and as much as I like it, the shoddy network is starting to really get my goat. I'm toying with the idea of getting a HTC Desire S but I'm not sure if it's the right...

    Confused

    Hello. You need to have a third superfree with every extra easy meal - I think that is why it works, as although you're mixing carbs and protein, you're filling up on superfree so you don't eat as much of it. Or at least that's what I think anyway! You could have a side salad with your beans...

    Ok, now I'm not sure I am supposed to include chicken as a free food allowance. So if you don't, it'd be 10.5 syns on all plans. If you do include chicken as a free food allowance, they're 5 syns on EE and red. xx

    what have you eaten today? Curry and rice is something perfect for an EE day, so maybe write down everything you've had, and we can work out if you could make the day EE or not...then you won't have to worry (although 12 syns a day is fine - I always use 15!) x

    You don't really seem to be eating a lot which could be part of the problem...do you go to class?
