Yay well done. My oh found our scales didn't give the same weight as ours. We've been suffering with the lurgy too, poor little man has been waking loads through the night and no feeding properly.

Standard mayo works out at about 5 syns per tbsp if that helps.

 

[Mummyof2boys29]

Wow that's a lot for mayo!! I ate out so couldn't stop the syns but the tuna wasn't creamy so don't think it had much in it, ill syn it tho just incase!

For dinner I have had 3 chicken drumsticks with skin taken off with peppers cooked in maggi so juicy Mexican and golden rice this is all free apart from the maggi so juicy it's 5 syns for the pouch so I will say its 2.5 for what I had! Was really tasty too!

I'm making a chocolate Halloween cake for tomorro it's hard not to pick at it and I've gotta make my sons Halloween outfit so will be kept busy

I don't think I'd have self control, I thought about working out the syns for my baking but I might die. The last lot of baking I did ended up rolled in spiced sugar and drizzled in coffee icing with walnuts on top ... Did find a recipe for 3 Syn blueberry muffins which I may have to try. Glad you have a lovely time Trick or Treating, I can't wait to go to nana's house with Little Man next year as she was on holiday this year.

Definitely the right time of year for lots of lovely fluffy baked spuds, so much you can do with them too!
