If there's no free food, I make it 15.5 syns for the total weight.
If there is free food, it'll be a lot less. When it says there's a trace of something, I normally put it as 0.1 so it's just enough to register. No idea if this is the right thing to do or not but at least it gives a result lol xx

Omg I am soooo tired! It's been such a long, busy and heavy day! We drove over 200 miles and that included taking a barriatric patient to the Heartlands hospital in Birmingham...and yes, I did try to convert him to SW lol 
And then we ended up finishing late due to a late job.
But lovely hubby had made me a delicious meal for when I got home of steak, Mediterranean veg and new potatoes
Oh and I had to weigh at home this week due to work and my scales show a 1/2lb loss. Not sure how accurate they are but I need to be accountable so I'm going to log it
B :- yoghurt/ banana / raspberries
L :- chicken/cheese/salad roll (B + 2)
Crisps (4)
Brownie oatie jobbies (3)
Apple
D :- steak
Mediterranean veg (2)
New pots
Hi fi bar (6)
HexA was milk
See you tomorrow! Xx

Well done you're doing so well!
Which yogurt do you use in your overnight oats?
I tried it with mullerlight but didn't like it much!
Keep up the good work xxx

Thank you Blossom xx I usually use muller lights I'm afraid. I quite like the banana custard one and the vanilla one. I use the frozen breakfast topper from Tesco and also pop a banana in too. I think you need a runny yoghurt really otherwise it doesn't soften the oats xx

Hiya Dawn - someone mentioned that you were back on Minis so I just thought I'd pop in and say hello.
I don't post on here now at all (although just answered tameanseo) - I'm on t'other forum!.
Good to see you posting again and back on track once more.
Good luck chica.
PS I met up with Gail a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic evening with her!

Hi Bev! Lovely to hear from you! Aww I'm jealous you met up with Gail! It's been ages since I saw her.
Yes I thought I'd have a pootle on here now that it's up and running. I liked the other site but I found it moved so fast I couldn't keep up and then started to feel guilty if I didn't reply. It's a lot slower on here and I've made a couple of new friends, and of course I can put my food down which is helpful. I miss the old gang but I'm still in touch with them all on FB or phone.
You take care...I may have to pop over to the other side to see what everyone's up to! Xx

Well today has been a little out of the ordinary. Work was fine, busy day but got quieter later on, until I had a phone call from my daughter. She said her future FIL had been suffering from a really severe nosebleed for a few hours and was now starting to feel quite ill. His wife had rung for an ambulance but unfortunately there was absolutely no availability so Vicki was thinking of driving to his house (1/2 hr away) and taking him in her car. Luckily our control room is above our watch room so I nipped upstairs to ask if we could pick him up in our ambulance and they said of course. So we shot off and got there in a few mins which was lucky as he was on the verge of collapse and we'd only just managed to get him on the stretcher before he passed out. There was sooooo much blood! Anyway A&E were fab and got to work on him as soon as we arrived, and when I popped in to see him in resus a couple of hours later he was looking so much better. The bleeding had stopped and they'd already got a bag of fluid into him, and he was conscious and talking. Big relief! Don't really want to kill the future FIL off before the wedding lol!
Anyway food has been good today although I have to admit I'm laying in bed now unwinding with a glass of ponche which is purely medicinal
B :- overnight oats (3.5)
L :- ham/cheese/beetroot sandwich (B + 1.5)
Crisps (4.5)
Hifi bar (3)
Apple/satsuma
S :- homemade SW veg soup
D :- SW ready meal
Glass of ponche ... no idea of syns but would guess at around 6
So I'm a bit over with nearly 19 syns but I rarely have them all so hopefully I'm a bit in credit xx

So glad to be finally in my bed after a really busy work day. Food has been fine but the really good news is that Martin is stable and managed to eat today but when they removed the nasal packing he poured with blood so they quickly packed him again! Still no idea why he's bleeding but I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it.
B:- overnight oats (4.5)
S:- SW tomato soup
L:- ham/cheese/beetroot/rocket sandwich (B+1.5)
Crisps (4.5)
D:- Tesco chicken ready meal (5)
Apple/tangerine
Hex A was used on milk
16.5 syns in total

Anyway a quick trip to minors got me sorted and back in time to cook tea with Gwyn and Suzanne. We had spaghetti carbonara followed by strawberries in a meringue nest...yummy! 
Oh and the good news is that Matthews dad is home and doing ok

B :- nope!
L :- bacon and egg wm sandwich (B)
Tomato sauce (2)
D :- spaghetti carbonara (3)
Salad
Strawberries and meringue (4)
