Calling all Irish!!!

Speaking of ice cream I picked up the Dunnes version (I think or they were Ice King. My husband threw out the box.) version of Mini-Magnums. They are delicious. They're €2.49, the box has 8 ice creams (2 white chocolate, 2 milk chocolate, 2 dark chocolate and 2 milk chocolate with almond) and each ice cream is 4pp each.

[MrsK87]

[Dubchick81]

Have a nice 0 pp soup (if ya'v made sum) and a chicken/tuna salad wrap/pitta.. nice n filling and still light.. And good luck for the weigh in..

Those Dunnes ice creams sound like a right bargain.. Might hafta get me some of them..

Anyone know what a solero is on the PP system???
And anyone kno what an uncle ben's single serving of boil in the bag long grain rice is??

 

[Dia Dhuit Puisín]

Soleros are 3pp. But a warning, I had one of the berry ones on one of the hot days we had a few weeks ago. My tongue was burning for at least a half an hour after.

Don't know about the rice though. Sorry.

 

[azwethinkweiz]

Mmm I have exotic soleros at home and those are 3pp too.
Is it the 62.5g bag hon? If so, 6pp! X

Sent from my Galaxy S using MiniMins

 

[Dubchick81]

That's great Sarah thanks.. I had given 6 for it but wasn't 100%..
I dont like the berry ones but thanks for the warning x

 

[azwethinkweiz]

Good guess on your part hon!! x

 

[Dubchick81]

It was kind of an educated guess.. I was 80% that was what they were and would have checked but it was always when I was away from the press that i'd remember I needed to check Sods law..

How you getting on today with your water drinking? Very well done yesterday

 

[Nini89]

Hello everyone! I'm from Cork. I think this particular thread is quite interesting!

 

[azwethinkweiz]

Welcome Nini89!!

Um. I've had a pint of water so far. Was in a meeting for 3.. yes THREE.. hours there and there wasnt any breaks even for water lol. Sigh. Feeling the urge for a pepsi max.. mmm...

 

[Dubchick81]

Wow.. that's a long meeting!! Ha ha.. Hate that!! lol
Ah well.. At least you've had some.. Could have been worse n had none..
I would LOVE a diet coke rite now...

 

[MrsK87]

1.5lb off was hoping for 2 but will take that.

Had a chicken teriyaki salad for lunch yesterday for 5 PP and it was lovely.

 

[Dubchick81]

LOVE chicken teriyaki! yum yum

2lb loss for me this week.. chuffed to bits so I am

On another note.. I bought Low Fat Milk in (either) Lidl/Aldi this week and pointed it this morning for my cereal.. its only 1pp per 100ml.. Premier Dairies LF milk is more... 43cals per 100ml in Lidl/Aldi milk.. 96cal in PD milk.. Super save

 

[MrsK87]

Well done on the 2lb

Hi Guys..
Just a quick query somebody might be able to tell me..i brought 2 slices of Pat the Baker Multigrain bread with me for lunch, i looked up the nutritional information on myfitnesspal and on my propoints calculator its workin out as 1 pro point per slice..cant be right can it? Has anybody pointed this bread before??

Oh god imagine if it was rite 1 pp for slice bread..happy days..has to be wrong

 

[Dubchick81]

Yes it can be 1 for 1 but will be 3pp for 2 slices..
Haven't pointed that one but if you've checked it on myfitness pal AND on yer calculator..
When you enter in the values into your calculator, wait a second til the 'use?' message comes up, then press x (to multiply) and do it by 2 and it'll tell ya when it is for 2 slices

 

[fendigal]

Thanks dubgirl..i didnt know i could do that! the calculator is all new to me, my friend gave it to me it was her mams but they couldnt find any instruction booklet so im learning as i go with it..must get my leader to show me the ins and outs of it!
I'll def be stickin to that bread if its only 3 pp for 2 slices

 

[Dubchick81]

Yea that's deadly.. Most I've found to be 2pp for 1, n 5pp for 2 slices.. Will defo be making note of that one!!
Yea I have the booklet n all but never even looked at it. My friend was playing with it one day and discovered that.. You can obviously divide the pp value as well.. Dead handy!
