Oooohhh I may have to give that a try, thanks for the tip
I'm determined to have a 100% focused day, though I'm struggling to think of ways to have at least some syns other than a drizzle of honey on my pork later

Some ideas for syns
If you like crisps and your going to miss them have a packet of low syn crisps for instance velvet crunch (4 syns) skips (4) wotsits (5) if you have an aldi near you they do some low syn crisps called crispy fries (3.5)
Funsize chocolate bars have between 3-5 syns in them
Light Mayonaise
Tomato sauce
salad cream
Gravy
All between 1-2 syns

That's brill, thanks hun
I know my problem will be stopping at one packet if I get crisps in. But I might get my fella to put them up out of the way for me and I can have a bag occassionally
We haven't got an aldi near us, but I might insist on making a trip to our nearest one to stock up on a few bits as they have cheap fruit don't they?
I've just checked the fridge and I have toffee muller lights in, so I'm going to freeze one for tonight

Well, we're doing a trip to Cheshire, not this weekend but next weekend to pick up our new fridge freezer from Chris' mum and dad and they have an aldi in their town so I'm very tempted to go with Chris and make a trip in (originally I was meant to be spending the night at home while he went).
Muller light is in the freezer ready for my Gilmore Girls marathon tonight and I've just used 5.5 syns on a fibre plus bar as I was getting a bit peckish, had a satsuma with it too. Am thinking as well as brown rice, tomato and cucumber with my pork tonight, I might have some frylighted mushrooms as I do have a fairly big pack to get through before monday lol
I honestly don't know what I'd do if I hadn't found this place. Well I can hazard a guess, I'd still be waiting for Monday to even start and then I'd probably lose my bottle before the first month was over and done with.
Just had an e-mail through, my scales have been shipped, not sure if they'll arrive tomorrow now, but at least I'll be able to weigh myself next week and see how things are going

Thanks hun, I thought they were 5.5 as I was using the 1 syn per 20 calories rule, but knowing me I'm probably wrong lol

1 fibre plus is a HEB and they are usually 6 syns I assumed they are but just checked. The dark ones are 6, the milk ones are 5.5!!!
