DOING SW FROM HOME???

[Raven]

A 1/4lb on for me this week but I'm ok with that. It's 'ladies week' and I've gone way over my syns a few times too. Next week I want to get into the 11's so I'm going to be super focused. We have quite a bit in snow in Shropshire this morning so a duvet day for me and my boys Be careful everyone, Ruth x

Where in Shropshire are you? I lived in Church Stretton for 15 yrs, loved the area but had to move out 3 mths ago as getting divorced and need to sell the house so i'm now renting in Staffordshire.

Mrsebb, thank you for your help hun, very much appreciated

Bk from the funeral and the roads were just hell, from the crematorium to the reception was about a 40 min journey normally so with the snow it took forever. The two cars in front of me kept sliding sideways and it was really scary. One was a discovery too! So glad to be bk. I hope everyone on here that has loved ones travelling has them safely bk in their home asap.

I was very good at the funeral tho, didn't eat anything and was just drinking diet coke until my partner asked me to have a glass of champagne with him as it was what was left from his friends restaurant. His friend is the one who died and he ran a restaurant so all the wine, champagne etc was leftover from there. So i had a small glass out of respect and shall count that as my syns today.

Sorry to hear about your mum. Are they keeping her in hospital.

Me too.... Hope she's ok :-(

I would definitely estimate more than 3 syns for oil! Isn't that dish deep fried? Maybe I'm making that up haha, but either way, I'd say there'd be at least one tbsp oil in the dish, which is 6 syns Just to be on the safe side as you don't want to gain/STS just cause of one meal!

Grannie, hope your mum's ok and that you're safe going around on all these buses with the snow!! Never quite learnt to crochet, but love knitting - might have to do some soon actually!

Thanks, Li! Might give your version a go x

Hi Laura, not deep fried, more like an omelette which is why I was thinking lower syns. Chow mein is 7 & beef & mushroom 5 and both of those have sauces. Will see what it looks like when out on the plate!!!

Raven glad you are safely back home.

Guys we have 4-5 inches of snow and there is a mega cold wind which might freeze it by tonight. Here a couple of pictures taken from my flat - not been brave enough to go out.

Yesterday at work we were tod not to bother to go in as lots of people leave far away and will not be coming in. Glad that I did not have to go in. Also was supposed to go to London but after hearing road traffic did not want to risk it. Hope you are all safe and do not need to go out in this weather.

Please post some pictures of snow in your area so we see how it is by you.

Raven I'm in Sheriffhales which is not far from Newport. We have had lots of snow here, the main road through the village seems ok but once you turn off its not really safe to be driving. We should be ok but I really need to go and get some snacky things from the shops :-(

Back again! Home now after trekking to the hospital. Mum`s fine but they are keeping her in overnight for observation. I think it`s to stop her wandering about. She forgets she`s not as agile as she used to be. She`s 85 years old. Daft thing is, my brother lives in the same village so he could have done the jobs outside for her! She just didn`t want to wait til he got home from work.

Had my wi and normal service has been restored after my unexpected 5lb loss week. 0.5lb off this week.

Having a bit of a strange dinner tonight as I have stuff that needs to be used up. Bacon, egg & mushy pea curry!

Heres my garden currently, just been to the garage in my wellies and i lost my foot in the snow, it completely covered it! Set for more really bad tonight. I wish it was christmas!

 

[Laura94B]

So jealous of all the snow guys! We were promised some from 1pm, but still have only had a few flakes! Apparently the new time for our flurries is 6pm! Doubt it will come then either

Feeling really ill, have gradually felt worse throughout the day Beginning to wonder if I've finally got the dreaded norivirus (again! Keep thinking I've got it) or just a virus/coldy thing going to keep on plan though as I don't feel like eating much, and the things I do feel like eating (chips with lots of salt and vinegar!) are doable

Ooh fair enough Alycyn I think I was thinking of a completely different thing haha!! Whatever you do, enjoy! I'll just sit here and be jealous

 

[Rosielea]

Grannie well done. 1/2 is a good loss.

 

[mrsebb]

Hi every1 no snow yet but threatening. Quick question. Chinese take away - chicken mushroom egg foo young, how many syns do u think as it only egg; chicken; mushroom; onion & beansprouts so they r all free. 2-3syns 4 oil? Thanks x

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using MiniMins

Hi, chicken and mushroom on its own is 5.5 syns on EE and red, 11 syns on green per serving if that helps! Can't find foo yung anywhere though sorry! Seems like its a mystery! Can't imagine it would be much more than that as its just an omelette really!
HTH

Nope, doesn't taste like scrambled eggs apparently, tastes like chocolate pudding. I haven't tried it myself, but there is a thread about it like I said in the recipes section. People rave about it.

I have to say I always find it very funny when there is a little bit of snow, and a few inches to me is a very little bit more like a dusting. I spent many years in Canada and unless you're talking a good 6 feet and -30C with a windchill of -40C, don't tell me it's snowing or say it's cold. I love it when the country shuts down and I think to myself that the weather is like the end of November/beginning of December if I was back in Canada.

Just shows the difference in a country that is prepared for snow and one that isn't. I giggle to myself all the time watching people spin and spin the tyres on ice to the point where I want to go over and ask if I can drive their car for them to get it off the ice since they have no idea how to do it. I'm amused all the time at this time of year.

Glad your mum is ok!

I am supposed to be making the mushy pea curry tonight as was supposed to be having a green day, it's now an EE day so I don't know what I can have with it for my superfree? Never had it before so don't know how it'll taste!! Some recipes have tinned chopped tomatoes in them but wondering if onion and chopped tomatoes is enough superfree? How do you make yours?

You could always have a bowl of fruit whilst cooking it to make it up??

My hubby has cousins in Wisconsin, USA. They have a laugh at our expense! When thei were in touch earlier this week the temperature was -25 and they had snowdrifts. Not sure how deep. You`re right, we can`t cope with snow! But then we can`t cope when it`s too hot either!

 

[mrsebb]

Ah yes didn't think of that!! I always think of it as part of my meal so it has to be salad/veggies, but as long as I eat it right before it'll be fine wont it? I'm thinking of putting mushroom and onion in it as well as the tinned tomatoes but ill have fruit aswell just incase!
