Put my tree up tonight so that's something else done. I have a train that runs round a track on the tree, I love it!!


Breakfast 4pp
2 weetabix 3pp
Milk 2pp

Lunch 11pp
Greggs mexican chicken oval bite

Dinner 16pp

Chinese take away - special chow mein. I've pointed this at 20pp, anyone got any thoughts?

Snacks 9pp
Wine

Total 41/28 weeklies now 17pp

I actually think that looks like a lot less than 20pp. Looks like about 4-5pp chicken, 8pp noodles and maybe 3pp for sauce? I'd put it at about 15-16.

Sorry I wrote chicken but I meant the meat and prawns.

Thank you. A second opinion always helps that's why I asked Chinese is so hard to point, that'll be why ww'ers don't have it on esource. I did read somewhere on this forum that a takeaway portion is bigger than a restaurant portion so you should double it. Confusing eh?

Your tree is gorgeous! I'd agree with Lisa, looks a bit more like 16-17pp Have a great day today!

 

[Nikki321]

I haven't been on for ages!!! It's a good idea to focus on holiday I think I'll use it too! I'm not going until September next year though! Were going to Menorca where we have a villa & pool hope everyone is okay and I hope you find some clothes you want soon! have a good day everyone! Xxx

 

[Nikki321]

Also re the Chinese in eat out it says 9pp for special chow mein so I usually would put around 16 to be on the safe side! X

I did thank you. I made 4 chocolate wreaths today so even though I've been sitting on my behind, I've not been totally idle lol xx

 

[Nikki321]

Are your actifry chips good? I'm thinking of getting one but I need to know if they are nice first! Haha. Your tea does look good! What's a chocolate wreath? I have so many questions haha sorry! Have a good day! X

 

[mrsgosling3]

Hey Hun. Just thought I would show you my first wreath! Cheated slightly and used a poundland wreath as the base but here it is xxx

I like them. I find chippy chips too greasy and limp for my liking but actifry make them more crispy and not greasy whatsoever. 1 tablespoon of oil is 4pp but between 3 of us I count it as 1pp.
The hot air is what cooks them so they are like a dry fry if you know what I mean but the chips aren't dry. I don't think I'm explaining this well lol. Well seeing I don't have a job in sales!!! xx

The trick is not to cut the potatoes too thick. If you do, the outside becomes overcooked and mushy while the insides are still a bit hard. Cutting the potato thinner gives an even cook. I weigh my potatoes raw first then divide by 3 then add 1pp for oil x
