I know, I've thought about complaining every time I re join. I last about 2 classes and then I just can't take it anymore. I thought that was just what all slimming world classes were like. I'm gonna try and join another class further afield and see.

Do you have to use oil or can you use fry light? Might have to give the chip sprinkle a try :-) xx

Your chips look awesome how do you do them?

SW fry up

Yay thank you!! Good to know about aldi too as I often shop there to try and save x

How many syns is one tbsp of extra light Helmans mayo? It says 10 calories which I thought was 0.5 syns as 1 syn=20 calls but my book says its 1 syn per tbsp??

I think consultans and their classes will be criticised no matter what they do because everyone's different and wants different things. I keep re joining classes but always feel the consultant is rubbish so end up doing it from home. I'm lucky if the class lasts an hour. Everyone gets weighed...

Think I'm gonna have lentil cheddar bake with chips and salad

Last nights leftovers of veggie tagine couscous and salad

I use fry light buttery

Thanks. I got some f the sprinkled with chocolate ones and I think the orange and vanilla are free but not sure about the cherry ones, they have a layer of fruit?

No probs :-) where abouts in Ireland are you? My dads from Kerry x

SW fry up

There's no syns in it, it's just like fry light oils

Ooh I've been dying to make these! Are they really good? They look awesome x

Well done x

What actually happens in image therapy? My local consultant is AWFUL! I've joined classes several times and she knows nothing, is really unhelpful and has never ever mentioned anything about image therapy x

OMG i neeeed to make this for breakfast soon :-)

What was the syn free pesto like? I'm thinking about trying it x

Cannot wait to try this!!

Ooh what a good idea with the vege stock! I tried it with flora buttery and milk and they were good but defo gonna try the stock! X

Gelatine is free. Only syns are in the sugar free jelly which I think is like 1 and a half syns per pack x

Hi can anyone tell me if any of the muller lights have syns and how many? Thank you x

Mmm it was yummy!! :-)

Thank you! Sorry should have said one of them is a fussy bugger who doesn't like spicy lol. Risotto sounds good though :-)

Think I'm gonna have comfort food of egg chips beans and tomato

Trying to find a veggie recipe tonight as my two best friends are vegetarian and are coming for tea tonight. Having a green day. Any suggestions welcome :-)

Quorn sausage ( new syn free ones they've brought back) egg and tomato butty

Hello. Think I belong here. Started on Tuesday weighing 15st 2.5 lbs xx

Arghhhhhh don't mention the C word lol! Xx

Hello. I've started doing SW from home as of yesterday. Our local consultant is awful so I don't want to go to classes plus can't really afford them as I've become a student again :-)

I love the curries!! And they are the easiest to adapt to SW :-) xx

My boyfriend loves the hairy dieters books. I'm doing slimming world though. Basically you just have to adapt the recipes so they don't include fat etc. ie don't use oil use fry light instead. Use smash powder as a thickener instead of cornflour. Or syn the non free ingredients. Xx

Thanks hun! I can't work this bloody app lol so resorted to google. Can't wait to try petes recipes. Tea tonight was salmon, mash and vege

Banana and reduced calorie peanut butter (4 syns) on toast hexb

Tuna salad, baked crisps (5syns) and a banana

What's the recipe? Can't find it but looks yummy!! X

Where can I find petes recipes? I'm on my phone so the search doesn't work. I've spent ages trawling the recipe pages x

Oh my god this sounds awesome!!

Yummy thank you! I will defo be trying that soon!! Tea tonight was pea and mint risotto hex cheese with sw chips and vege

Aww that sucks :-( luckily there's a Sainsburys near the college I start tomorrow in lancaster so ill have to stock up lol xx

Hi can this be used as a hexa?

Haha this made me laugh!! Xx

How many syns are they? Might have to try lol xx

Ohh really?! Though I'd seen loads of threads on here about using them for pizza? X

I believe they have brought these back? But are thy available anywhere other than Sainsburys? I only have asda, morrisons or booths where I live waaaaa :-(

Hi can these be used as a hexb? And do they do them in whole meal? I'm wanting to try the pizza with them. Thanks :-) x

Glad I found this as was just reading the magazine and it mentioned free food snacks as being free which I wanted to check :-)

I struggle too :-( my head says eat cereal but my tummy says cooked breakfast all the time! Then I feel uncomfortable and bloated all day x

Hi can anyone tell me if they can be used as a healthy extra? Thanks x

Hi is anyone able to tell me the syn value of asda's mango and passionfruit yogurt? It's a 450g tub. I got the wrong one by mistake and didn't realise it wasn't fat free. I can't really afford to go wasting it though.

Wow that's quite high oops. Thank you soo much for finding out for me :-)

Hi can anyone tell me the syn value for the innocent moussaka veg pots? And are they tasty? :-)

Hi sorry if this isn't in the right place. I'm after some free or low syn quick and easy lunch ideas. I work in an office with use of microwave and kettle. I've seen in the magazine something about innocent snack pots? I'm wanting stuff like that so I can just grab it and take it in.anyone have...

Hi does anyone know what the syn value is for the new trop 50 juice? X

Hi does anyone know if the 4 pack of ww citrus yogurts are free? Xx

Help please! Me and my boyfriend like to go to spoons for breakfast on the occasional Sunday but is there anything low syn on the breakfast menu that I can eat or is it better to just avoid it completely ? X

Mmm yummy thank you :-) how many syns are they if not a Hexa? Xx

Just found these in Asda and wondering if I can have them as a Hexa and how many? Xx

I'm slightly confused over the 1/3 super free thing. If I had a bowl of super speed or any free veggie soup for lunch would I still have to have a bowl of salad or vege as well? Or would the soup be ok on it's own given the amount of super free food in it? X

Are the sachets of oats so simple a hexb? I have some blueberry ones that need using up but they're not in the book only in syn part :-(

Jesus!!! I will be giving them to my housemate o save myself lol x

Awe gutted :-( thank you though! Do you know how many syns they are for 2? X

Hello! Are the chocolate weetabix counted as a hexb? I mean the standard size ones x 2? X

So following a traumatic couple of months due to splitting with a long term boyfriend, finding a lodger etc I am now ready to tackle my weight again! I lost the plot with it a few months ago and put all the weight I lost back on through comfort eating. I can't afford to go to classes so I will...

Hi I was diagnosed with PCOS about a month ago after TTC for 2 and a half years! Doctor has referred me to gynaecologist and I have an appointment next Thursday. I'm doing Slimming world as I'm about 3 stone overweight and really hoping weight loss with help me get pregnant. Hoping the...

Thank you! They were pretty small scoops thankfully!! :-)

I'm a support worker and a little girl that I look after wanted ice cream and jelly tonight but demanded I had some with her despite my protesting. I had 2 scoops of Walls light soft scoop ice cream and a pot of Hartleys strawberry jelly (not the sugar free one!!) can anyone work out the sub...

Omelette with ham and cheese

Chicken tikka and rice. Syn free

Mmm that looks lush!!

Mmm made this for tea tonight!! Amazing! Thanks for sharing :-)

Adds chick pea Dahl with extra veggies added and rice

Jacket potato with left over quorn chilli and salad

Deluxe hi-fi bar and a banana, had. College exam so had to be quick and easy

It's an easy mistake to make. I love sushi snack packs and thought they would be free as its just rice and fish. But they have cream cheese or anything else mixed in so they aren't :-(

I keep trying to like them but I really don't. They don't fill me at all and I don't like the flavours. My friend has just brought me some hi fi deluxe bars (I don't go to a class) and I am in love with them! Would much rather have one deluxe than 2 Alpen lights

It's not free it's about 1-2syns per 100g or something like that. It's all different and depends where you get it from and what's in it.

I tried a red day earlier In the week and it wasn't too bad. I didn't miss the carbs that much! Might try another tomorrow. I noticed I was less bloated on the red day

Where about are you Delphi? I'm in Cumbria and my Asda has finally started to stock it :-) think we are the last place to get it

Wow lots of ideas thank you! Have never managed to find celeriac but will keep an eye out for it! X

I'm gonna get some of the gammon rounds! Ive never tried mackerel, I never used to eat fish at all but I do now. Going to try some tinned tomato mackerel, if I don't like it at least my animals will get a treat lol x

I'm good at buying and eating fruit, vege and salad which helps when doing SW. I cook for me and my boyfriend but he's very good and eats anything I make regardless of how bad it tastes lol. I will make him rice or whatever to go with his and I'll not have the carbs with mine. I'm like you when...

Thank you for all the ideas. I'm am going to try my first red day tomorrow. Breakfast and lunch I'm not worried about but I just can't get my head around not having potato or rice with my main meal at tea time! Will see how I get on tomorrow! :-)

Do you mind me asking what her sort of average weekly losses are? I am loosing about 1-2lbs per week but have more than 3 stone to go still and am thinking it would be quicker on red

Would the wedges have to be a hexb? X

Ha ha mine know better than to do that! He knows he would loose the use of a limb if he did lol! X

I do this!! Have to have my own treat box in the cupboard separate to boyfriends biscuit tin. Have got pretty good at resisting his high calorie stuff and tonight he has eaten lovely ice cream whilst sitting next to me and I managed to resist! Annoying skinny man can eat anything and not get fat!

I am exactly the same! I am doing a green day today and had Quorn spag Bol for tea and now have crippling stomach ache :-( going to try red for a few days and see if it helps

Ha ha yup he sounds as good as mine on the Slimming World food experiments front! Aww thank you that's my Mylo! Beautiful black lab! He's my baby lolx

Me too, I use tomato base and add spices and yogurt etc. I like to experiment but I'm always a little wary as I cook for me and my boyfriend and although he is very good and always eats what I cook sometimes it hasn't turned out good! X

WOW I love that!!! Have promised myself a shipping spree and holiday somewhere hot for when I get to target! That's such a good idea to put the £5 away each week!! X

Yeah I've got the cauliflower curry recipe copied to my phone but I've been a bit chicken about trying it lol

Wow that's brilliant! I only have a stuck blender though so not sure if it would work but gonna give it a try! Thank you :-)

Aww that's a good goal! I've promised myself a holiday somewhere hot for when I get to target so I can wear nice clothes and bikini! No I haven't got a diary on here, I just write it all down at home but I'm thinking I'm going to start one. Especially as I know I'm going to struggle with red at...

No ive been doing it for 5 weeks now and have lost half a stone so far. Which is good as its going down but it just seems soo slow! I started off doing Extra Easy and then have been doing a mixture of EE and Green. But I'm bloated all the time and want to see if doing red will speed up my losses...

It's Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It causes a lot of "womens problems" and in particular difficulty with weight, causing me to put weight on easily but struggle to loose it. It causes a similar effect on insulin as diabetes does. We have been trying for a baby for over two years now and I was...

Thanks I will have a look at her diary! What on earth is cauliflower rice lol?? X

Oh yeah I know I can have them if I use them as a healthy extra or syn them it's just that I like having milk, bread and cheese as my healthy extras and keeping my syns for treats rather than rice etc. I like EE and Green as I don't have to worry about weighing anything other than healthy...

I am really wanting to do Red days as I have been diagnosed with PCOS and advise that a low carb diet would be best for me. But meat is SO expensive and I just cant get my around not having rice, pasta or potato with a meal. Thanks for posting your food diary though as reading it has helped me...

Ah thank you! I thought the multi pack ones I get must be classes as a standard bar so that's why I got so confused! :-)

I would always round up just to be on the safe side and not go over my syns!

I love Cadbury Flakes but confused over how many syns they are? In the book it says 8.5 syns however they are 135 calories which means 7 syns based on the 20cal = 1syn! Help

Yup me too, been looking for at least two years lol x

I had this problem trying to find the Salad Light spray dressings! None of my local supermarkets had it and sent my in laws all round Manchester (they live there) going into every Tesco and Sainsbury's looking for it. Couldn't get it anywhere! Then last week my Asda finally started stocking it...

Hi I also have PCOS. I have lost half a stone in 4 weeks so it's coming off quite slowly but surely. I'm going to be in it for the long haul too! I still have 3st 2lbs to loose! The good thing about Slimming World is that I think it's a better diet for those of us who have a fair amount to loose...

French toast (hexb) banana and maple syrup (2.5 syns)

Ooh shall be getting some! Thank you x

I make my own burgers. Extra lean mince and seasoning. Syn free and delicious. You can experiment with different herbs or chilli powder etc

Hi how many syns are in Asda chick pea Dahl?

I've been trying to drink hot water with lemon and sweetener but can't get myself to like it. Will try and use it in cooking instead. Nice with chicken or fish x

Bacon sarnie and coffee

Nope lemon juice/preserve is free :-)

I haven't been on any pill for over 2 years now as we are trying for a baby (with no luck :-( ) I have just been diagnosed with PCOS and referred back to a gynaecologist for it after being referred two years ago and told there was nothing wrong with me just IBS! When I was on the pill they tried...

Going to be having home made burgers and SW chips

Jacket potato, tuna, sweet corn and spring onion with salad

Thank you that's really helpful. I like omelettes and stir fry. But I'm struggling to think of that I can serve my meals with? What do you use instead of rice, pasta or potato? I'm really confused about red days. Im doing slimming world from home and have my books but still cat make sense of the...

I too am thinking about going red. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and that causes weight problems and insulin resistance. I have been recommended a low carb diet. I have been skin EE and green but am VERY bloated. Good luck and let us know how you get on

I also get really bad headaches almost every day. I've often thought it could be because I'm not drinking enough. I'm going to try and drink lots more on my next days off

Oh god yes I am exactly the same there too! My mum and boyfriend telling me its all in my head but when I go I do a big wee each time despite drinking little. I have to get up during the night too! I worried I might have diabetes (especially as I'm overweight) but the test was fine.

I have the exact same problem with my bladder and can really sympathise with you there! I've always had problems and had scans and tests as a kid but they found nothing. I've got such bad toilet anxiety now that I'm scared to drink a lot so I don't drink much fluid at all to avoid interruption...

Ha ha my bests friends mum is a dentist so her house is FULL of straws. My friend is always telling me off for not having them x

You might be loosing fat but building muscle if you are exercising more than you were? X

Hello. I have been doing SW from home for 4 weeks and have lost half a stone. It's coming off slowly but surely and I'm not always 100% so I'm comfortable with my weight loss. I still need to loose another 3st 2lbs target to my target. I have been doing EE and green days. Money is limited and...

Eggs, beans, "fried" potato and 2 Quorn sausages (2 syns)

Yup. They should really focus the money the make on ensuring consultants are fully trained and can actually do the job! My Rosemary Conley consultant was absolutely fantastic, unfortunately I found the diet far too restrictive. Wish I could combine her with SW diet

I dot go to classes because the consultant is rubbish, that's the only reason. I do it from home and use this site

The only thing I can think of is are you adding up the calories in your wine and take away at the weekend? You might be going way over your syn allowance there even if your saving them during the week? Other than that your food diary looks fine. X

Brushing your teeth after eating or drinking something acidic is actually the WORST thing you could do to your tooth as it really increases the risk of enamel erosion.

There is only 3 classes a week where I live. All of which are on a Tuesday. Not helpful to those who are shift workers, work in catering, care etc and cannot guarantee the same days off every week. The consultant is also rubbish so unless you drive and can afford the time and money to travel...

Been doing SW from home for 4 weeks and lost half a stone. Down to 14st 2lbs. Hope to be into the 13 soon :-)

Aww you are lucky! I live in a fairly rural part of the uk and unfortunately she runs all the classes anywhere near here so I can't even go to a different class as there aren't any! I'm not doing too badly though, have lost half a stone in 4 weeks doing it alone. I haven't been 100% all the time...

What is 30 day shred??

But if an odd one tonight. On the weekly meal plan it was supposed to be LC sausages, mash, peas and gravy (normal Cumberland for boyfriend) but I wasnt in the mood for mash and couldn't be bothered to cook so made chips, sausage and beans for BF and I had omelette with lots of veggies, LC...

I agree with this. If our consultant was good I would be more than happy to incorporate going to weekly meetings into our budget but as she's not, I'm doing it from home. X

Blimmin eck that's brilliant! X

I made an amazing tasting curry last night. I used Thai red curry paste (1-2 syns a tbsp depending on what type you use, chicken, vege, milk from allowance, Philadelphia (hexa), natural yogurt and muller light coconut sprinkled with chocolate (syn free). It was the nicest, creamiest curry I've...

Rosemary Conley charge back fees too! I now do SW from home as I found Rosemary Conley diet too restrictive but love SW. However our consultant is rubbish and seen as money is tight at the minute due to becoming a student again I personally can't justify £5 a week to go to a class where I get no...

Well done! Bet that's feels amazing :-) can't wait till I get there too x

Jacket potato, beans and cheese (hexa) with salad

Coconut muller, summer fruits, banana, Dorset cereal (hexb) layered. I also crushed a packet of mini cookies (6 syns) and added (soo worth it!) Thanks for the idea Alsmum!

My local Asda have finally started selling this!! It's lovely

Thai red chicken curry and rice

This months has quite a lot of veggie (Quorn free) recipes x

Mmm defo going to be trying these!!

Yeah I tried the Cajun one out of the mag but the smash one sounds better

Where in the new mag are the smash goujouns? I can't find the recipe?!

I wondered about this as all baked beans are free?

I couldn't eat lunch today. College was so hot and stuffy that the heat made me loose my appetite! The only SW friendly thing I could have eaten was jacket potato and beans which was just not appealing when I was so hot!

1-2 lbs a week is a very healthy weight loss!I have lost 6lbs in 3 and a half weeks. So about 2lb a week. It's coming off a lot slower than when I did Rosemary Conley however I am not starving and cranky all the time. I'm also not sticking to 100% every day and have been going over my syns and...

Mmm it was! Even the boyfriend enjoyed it!

The recipes are really good!! We had the chicken strips and wedges on Saturday and had mushroom stroganoff tonight :-)

We had mushroom stroganoff and rice. Recipe from this months magazine

I had French toast (hexb) with banana and maple syrup (2.5 syns) again! It's sooo nice

WOW!!!!!!

Oh wow!! That's definitely going on the shopping list! :-)

Ooh can you have halloumi as a healthy extra? I love it!

We had Cajun chicken, wedges and salad from this months SW magazine

Yay my Asda has just started to sell the Salad Light dressings! Got the Caesar one and it is lovely :-)

Nice salad with chicken, potato and egg

French toast (hexb) with banana and maple syrup (2.5 syns) amazing :-)

Aww so glad it free! I too have always avoided it as I presumed it wouldn't be free

It's impossible to put weight on overnight. Your body simply doesn't work that fast. If you ate a KFC last night there's absolutely no way it would show on the scales as a gain or loss the following morning. When dieting the results of our hard work don't show immediately.

Not sure if they have any free food in them but 20calories = 1 syn so based on that it should be 4 syns

Dunnes are Irish supermarkets. X

Mmm lovely! :-)

I'm intrigued too! Have been looking out for them but not found any yet

Mmm I loves a milky brew lol. Having a cup now :-) I always need my milk allowance for brews and cereal.

They've changed the recipe so some stuff isn't free. Mince, chicken fillets and chicken pieces and burgers are free. Sausages are 1 syn each. Linda Mcartney red onion and rosemary sausages are bloody lovely and free too though. But they are expensive

No there is loads of stuff, mince, chicken, sausages, burgers. I made spag Bol tonight with Quorn mince and my boyfriend hasn't even noticed it wasnt meat. My trick is to add a beef oxo to give it a meaty flavour. Extra lean mince is £4 whereas Quorn is £1-£1.50 so it's great when on a budget...

Ha ha oh dear! I'm am a bit of a wuss when it comes to hot food. I made salt and pepper chips last week with too much chilli and blew my head off!

I cook it for me and my boyfriend at least twice a week and we have never got Ill from it. It makes me gassy lol but that's it. I have IBS so my stomach gets upset easily anyway

Mmm that looks yummy!!

I wasn't being rude or horrible I was simple stating what your supposed to do on EE days according to the book.

No you have to fill your plate with 1/3 super free. As in you could have spag Bol with salad on the same plate. The point of this is to make you eat less of the free food (spaghetti etc). If you had salad on the same plate you would automatically eat less by eating that. If you didn't and you...

Thank you. I've got my head round them now lol. Have been mixing it up between green and EE. Red days would probably be better for me as I have just been diagnosed with PCOS and low carb diet is best option for it. However meat is so expensive and we are in quite a tight budget. Pasta, rice...

Bachelors leek, cheese and ham pasta (1 syn) and a muller

Chocolate Philly (4.5syns) on toast (hexb) with banana

Yes I cook the fish first then mix it in. You could use the breadcrumbs as a hexb (just whizz a couple of slices of bread in a food processor) or you could syn the bread. I don't follow a recipe I just kinda make stuff up so I'm not sure on quantities sorry. There's only me and my boyfriend so...

Bought me some lemons today. Going to make syn free lemon curd and also drink hot water and lemon each morning

Me too using my iPhone! Very frustrating x

Fish cakes are really simple to make. You can experiment with any fish you like. Just start off with mashing some potatoes and seasoning with salt and pepper. Then add salmon, prawns, cod etc. you could add chilli powder if you wanted them spicy. Make into fish cake shapes, cover with beaten egg...

I use Philadelphia as my hex. I have tried really hard to make myself like Quark as its syn free but it's just vile z

Ha ha that is a lot of animals!! I'd have more if BF would let me but he won't. My excuse is he won't let us have babies yet so I keep getting animals instead lol! I daren't put a picture of myself as my profile, I just look awful in every photo. I don't have a dairy on here, never even thought...

He's a total softie!! Love him to bits! We've got two cats and bunny wabbit too (I'm mad about animals) he's much more photogenic than me too! Hence why I have him as my profile picture on here and my Facebook lol

Yeah I remember being told that I had an allocated amount of holidays which I had to book off and then any other classes I missed outside of this I would still have to pay for! That was 2 years ago. Woofer is Mylo lol, he's good at cheesy grins :-)

It is expensive. Our local consultant was rubbish!! I'm managing to do it ok from home and saving money too! I think you still have to pay if you miss a week though? Well you used to anyway, it might have changed now x

I dont go to groups I just use this site and do it from home but I've read loads of posts saying it's ok to. The consultants seem to get stuff wrong sometimes. But don't quote me on anything lol cos I could still be wrong x

Salt and pepper chips! Trying for the first time. I made OH salt and pepper chicken (green day for me) he loved it! X

I think it's fine to mix and have half of one and half anther. As long as your getting your daily amount of calcium and fibre. I mixed my cheeses today as I ran out of low fat cheddar so had 22g low fat cheddar with 3 extra light laughing cows :-)

Thanks for double checking. Wish they were 41/2. I think I may develop an addiction to them!! X

Thank you! I've just munched a packet in seconds! So yummy!! X I based my syns on the 1 syn for every 20 calories, I keep reading it on here x

Am I working out syns wrong? Mini jaffa pods are 144cal so shouldn't they be like 7 or 7.5 syns per pod? And mini party rings are 114cals, would they be 6.5 syns? X

It's only not free if it's cooked because it takes a lot longer for the stomach to break it down when it's eaten in its natural form. Eaten in its natural state keeps you fuller for longer and reducing the chance of snacking. Lemons don't count I guess because who actually eats lemons lol. We...

Thank you!! X

I've just bought mini party rings and Jaffa cakes :-) also got some Cadbury Freddos, anyone know how many syns? 95 calories so I'm guessing about 5? I'm intrigued as to how you eat a pink n white after its been microwaved lol?! I have some in my cupboard x

I'm having a HUGE battle with myself right now. Have only 2 syns left and want chocolate soooo badly!! Trying not to raid the biscuit tin :-(

Made it tonight and added extra veggies and chilli flakes! Was absolutely lovely! OH enjoyed it too, actually licked his bowl clean lol! X

Thank you! Can't wait to try this! I LOVE lemony stuff lol x

Thank you for the recipe! Will be first time making it tonight! :-)

Yeah I discovered I could have more as a hexb on green days. Does anyone know how much Philadelphia light and extra light you can have?

Lentil cheddar bake with salad and chips :-)

Bloody hell that's a fantastic weight loss!! Is that in one week?! What exercise do you do??

Thank you! I will have to keep an eye out for some! Xx Cottage pie and plenty of veg for us tonight :-)

Thank you for sharing your story, this has given me do much hope :-) x

Going to try an find lemon curd recipe to make :-)

Mmm thank you! Will defo be trying this!! Can you buy jasmine rice or do you make it? I've only ever had it in Thai restaurants.

Whats the recipe and syn value? It sounds amazing x

Quorn spag Bol followed by chocolate and banana cheesecake using Alpen lights (hexb) & highlights (2syns) :-)

Magic oaty pancakes (hexb) with banana and maple syrup (2.5 syns) yummy!

Mmm just made these for the first time! Yummy!

Not so good lol! Bad week diet wise. Had stressful week and some bad news but will be back on it tomorrow. Have planned my meals and stocked up on fruit, veg and salad. Gonna do a mixture of EE and Green days depending on what we are having for tea. X
