    changes to plans

    The only difference between the silver and gold packages is the set of books, and the difference in price between packages is £15. I'm sure you used to be able to buy the books via the bookshop but they are not currently showing up on there for me.

    changes to plans

    I am an online member and I had new books sent out to me, arrived this morning! :D I did get the gold package when I initially joined online though, which included paying extra to get the books, so that may be why.

    Anyone had an unsupportive consultant?

    I started SW a few tears ago with my ex as he wanted to lose weight as well. The consultant at that group was awful, quite rude if you weren't in her 'favourites' clique and useless when it came to motivating people or updating you on syns/HE info. It got to the point that I didn't want to go...

    stir fry sauce

    The ones mentioned in the magazine are Amoy stir fry soy sauces - garlic and Chinese 5 spice, lemongrass and kafir lime, and red chilli... All 3 are free and apparently cost £1.49 at Tesco. I have stir fry planned for lunch tomorrow so might nip to Tesco and see if I can get some!

    TV Series Recommendations?

    I don't have Sky but do have a monthly subscription to Now TV which means I do get to watch some of the new stuff on catch up plus box sets of things too, although they tend to only throw box sets up with very limited time to watch it all before the new series start!

    Whats for tea tonight?

    Think I might use the Quorn roast that is sat in my freezer, with dry roasted potatoes and veg. That, of course, does mean me having to get my butt out of bed... Still cwtched up watching back to back episodes of True Blood with a glass of wine. A lazy day, just what Sundays were invented for!

    Tv/dvd combi update - they wanted to send it off to repair, so I kicked off at how ridiculous that was when I'd had it less than 3 months. Manager agreed to replace for the same item... or the equivalent value. So I had a tv for the same value and paid an extra £30 for a dvd player... have...

    If they say they're going to send it off for repair instead of replacing it, I may lose the plot completely!

    Don't you just hate it when....

    Going to give it a go this evening. They have exactly the same tv/dvd combi in stock, so hopefully they'll just exchange it for a new one of the same, that way the payment method shouldn't matter. I'm hoping they don't decide to send it away to see if it can be repaired... surely not seeing as...

    When the TV/DVD Combo that you were bought as a present less than 3 months ago decides to refuse to load a dvd last night. Tried 10+ different discs in it but it's knackered. TV bit still works, but no dvd watching is possible. Even more annoyingly, it was bought on my mum's debit card, so...

    Erm's Photo Diary

    I am so with you on this one! I have no plans whatsoever this weekend, apart from a long overdue date with a glass of vino! And I can't wait - both for the wine and the weekend of no plans and doing as much or as little as I want and when!

    3 Positives for today...

    1. It's Friday 2. Dinner is already cooked and just needs reheating when I get home from work this evening. 3. Hmmm, it's Friday! So good it deserves being mentioned twice!

    Fridays are dress down days for us at work - and I am in a pair of size 12 jeans!! Granted they are stretchy jeans but I've not been in size 12 jeans for over a decade! Woohoo!

    Don't you just hate it when....

    You wake up when the alarm goes off, wondering why you didn't switch it off the night before because it's Saturday and don't have to get up for anything... then realise you are a day ahead of yourself, it's actually Friday and you have to go to work!

    chocolate weetabix?

    I don't have any of those places near me unfortunately. However, I do now have Chocolate Weetabix!! My beloved mum found me some for when I went to see them last weekend - both the Morrisons and Tesco near where they live stock them! Yay! Then walked into my local Tesco store on Monday to find...

    Frugal February

    I'm going to work out over the weekend what I do and don't have in, and what home-made 'ready meals' I still have in the freezer. Then I can plan meals for the whole of Feb and set a budget for myself. However, I'm looking at setting myself a buget of £150 per month overall, breakfasts...

    Drinking Water

    I drink at least 2ltrs of water every day during the week, usually sparkling water, some with no added sugar squash. The 2ltrs does not include any tea and coffee that I drink. I have to admit, at the weekends I probably drink less water, but more tea and coffee. I also tend to have wine at...

    Whats for tea tonight?

    Not sure what to have for dinner today - have spent the last 2 days poorly with a stomach bug, ate nothing at all on Tuesday and just a slice of toast yesterday. Stomach is better today but the rest of me still feels awful, but I'm starting to feel a bit hungry again now so need to eat...

    Don't you just hate it when....

    What she said! Purely so I can collapse into bed all weekend if needed to recover from this lurgy!

    Don't you just hate it when....

    I can so sympathise with you hon. I normally make it into work when I'm ill, unless I have a migraine and can't drive or when I had tonsilitis and was signed off by the Dr, but this one beat me. Tuesday I barely made it out of the bathroom for most of the day and yesterday I managed less than...
  220. KittenKat

    Don't you just hate it when....

    You've been off work for 2 days with a gastro bug and even though you're still feeling like death, you have to come into work on the 3rd day (a) because you have so much work to do and (b) because you can't afford to not be paid. The bodly fluids escaping from both ends may have stopped but...
  221. KittenKat

    What works for you?

    I tend to use very few (if any) syns during the week, and then use quite a lot of mine on wine on a Friday and Saturday night. I don't feel deprived during the week as I usually struggle to eat my meals and fit in my HEXs as well! As for whether it affects my losses or not, not really...
  222. KittenKat

    Whats for tea tonight?

    Home-made salmon fishcakes (well, more of a bake really than individual fish cakes! And no breadcrumbs!) with loads of veggies.
  223. KittenKat

    Quorn foods

    Some of the Quorn products can be pretty high in syns, so I tend to just stick to the syn free ones. I don't bother with the sausages, not since they changed the recipe and they became 1 syn per sausage - I'd rather have a proper sausage for 0.5 sysn from Morrisons. I'm not all that fussed...
  224. KittenKat

    What have you just eaten??

    1/2 small galia melon and a whole 450g pot of Oken fat free strawberry yogurt! Yep, I feel like a real piggie but, in my defence, I won't get to have any lunch as will be driving by that point.
  225. KittenKat

    chocolate weetabix?

    I've tried my local Tesco, the huge Asda superstore, the big Morrisons near me... none of them have it :cry: Am hoping the smaller supermarkets near my parents may, for some bizarre reason, stock it when the bigger ones don't seem to.

    Quality time with partners

    Would love to contribute to this thread but (a) all on my lonesome these days and (b) when I was with my ex I could never get him to do anything in relation to 'quality time' unless it meant sitting in front of the computer gaming or watching a dvd - yes, we were out doing things together in...
  227. KittenKat

    chocolate weetabix?

    I've been trying to get hold of some chocolate weetabix for weeks but just can't find it anywhere! Not even the HUGE Asda near me stocks it. *sulks* Heading to visit my parents for the weekend so will be hunting at their local supermarkets in the hope of finding some!
  228. KittenKat

    What have you just eaten??

    Jacket potato with baked beans and Tesco red thai chicken mini fillets. My 1/3 superfree was fruit beforehand, as I hate salad and baked beans together!!
  229. KittenKat

    What is the most odd food combo...

    I was right there with ya, until the beetroot bit! :p Not sure I have any really bizarre combinations that spring to mind right now, but years back when I was in college I was seen as weird as I used to love chips with mint sauce. What on earth is wrong with that?
  230. KittenKat

    Whats for breakfast?

    1/2 small galia melon. It was meant to have been with half a big tub of Onken fat free yogurt, but forgot to grab the yogurt out of the fridge and bring to work with me!
  231. KittenKat

    What have you just eaten??

    1/2 a small galia melon, nom nom nom!
  232. KittenKat

    What have you just eaten??

    Have eaten my lunch (rice, rocket and cherry tomato salad, and Tesco red thai chicken mini fillets), closely followed by a medium skinny latte from Costa (currently debating whether or not I can get away with counting that as my HEXA!), and am still hungry... what on earth is up with me today...
  233. KittenKat

    Whats for tea tonight?

    I've not taken anything out of the freezer to defrost so it will probably be 'cook from frozen' haddock with SW chips and mushy peas... with fruit beforehand as my 1/3 superfree to limit my intake of the rest! Or I could blitz a pot of home-made bolognese from the freezer instead... depends on...
  234. KittenKat

    whats for lunch

    Lunch for me today is rice leftovers from last night, rocket and cherry tomato salad and Tesco red thai chicken mini fillets. I also have a pear and clementine sat on my desk if I'm still peckish or get mid afternoon munchies!
  235. KittenKat

    Whats for breakfast?

    Breakfast for me was a nectarine and pear, closely followed by half a 450g pot of Onken fat free vanilla yogurt, nom nom nom.

    NSVs - Non Scale Victories

    I keep prodding my collar bone... it's probably not all that evident to other people, but I can darned well see and feel it far more now I'm 2 stone lighter!
  237. KittenKat

    What have you just eaten??

    Yep, the yogurt has now been devoured too! Is it nearly lunchtime yet?! ;)
  238. KittenKat

    What have you just eaten??

    Nectarine and pear, which was breakfast. I also have half of a big pot of Onken fat free vanilla yogurt with me here at work, so might tuck into that shortly! I have a feeling that today is going to be a hungry day... so was yesterday!
  239. KittenKat

    What superfree have you eaten today?

    Tuesday: Strawberries Mixed salad leaves Cherry tomatoes Carrots Broccoli Green beans Red peppers
  240. KittenKat

    Unthoughtful people!

    Have a lovely evening Kingleds!
  241. KittenKat

    Whats for tea tonight?

    Quorn fillets, rice and a huge portion of mixed veg (carrots, green beans, red peppers, sweetcorn, peas and brocolli). Can't wait, absolutely starving!
  242. KittenKat

    Where the bargains are at and anything else thats useful.

    Even in yogurt form it tastes very much like vanilla ice cream, well to me it does anyway!! I have been well and truly converted from Mullers after trying these! Sooo much nicer, really thick and creamy.
  243. KittenKat

    Whats for breakfast?

    Was running late this morning so only had time to grab a small punnet of strawberries and pear on my way out the door to munch now I'm at work.
  244. KittenKat

    Where the bargains are at and anything else thats useful.

    I've not tried that one yet, will have to grab some before the offer ends. Just demolished a whole pot of the vanilla one in one sitting, that's really not good... but probably preferable to demolishing a bottle of wine instead!
  245. KittenKat

    Where the bargains are at and anything else thats useful.

    Tescos have the 450g pots of fat free Onken yogurt for £3 for three pots! I find the vanilla one to die for... getting there with the strawberry one now as well, much nicer than Muller Lights!
  246. KittenKat

    Monday weigh in

    2.5lbs down for me tonight... another 3.5 to go before I get back to pre-Xmas weight... best try and have a good week this week then!
  247. KittenKat

    Whats for tea tonight?

    It was meant to be diet coke chicken for me this evening but I'm too lazy to cook so it's lasagne out of the freezer instead!
  248. KittenKat

    What have you just eaten??

    A full on SW friendly fry up! Bacon, 0.5 syn sausages, 'fried' potatoes, mushrooms and tomato, with a poached egg. Washed down with a caffetiere of fresh coffee. Hmmm, is having breakfast at 2pm on a Sunday a bad thing?! In my defence, I am still in my PJs, so surely that makes it ok?! :p
  249. KittenKat

    Whats for tea tonight?

    Tonight will be melt-in-the-middle burgers, with salad and SW chips.
  250. KittenKat

    Whats for tea tonight?

    Salmon fillet with something or other!
