Hiya
Benefit bars are like Alpen bars but aldis version! Ha
as long as they are 70 calories and under then it's classed as a HEXB. Hope this helps

Ah right, I don't have an aldi near me, only a lidl. Maybe I'll see if they have any own brand versions when I'm next there. So can you substitute any cereal bar under 70kcal? I didn't realise that.

My hot choc was lovely. Yesterday was a very tiring day! Walked seven miles in just under three miles across Derbyshire around the Chatsworth Estate. Was bloody knackered afterwards!

Hey
Could I ask what sort of things you woild bring to the cinema? I love going there but also like all the sweet stuff!!
I always take fruit (I buy the little snack packs from Tesco), HiFi lights (2 for a B choice), Babybels (A choice, quantity depends on the variety) and low Syn crisps such as Velvet Crunch (4 Syns). You could also take things like Freddo's (5 Syns), Special K Biscuit Moments (5 Syns), Curly Wurly (6 Syns), Pink N Whites marshmallow/wafers (2.5 Syns), etc

I haven't been on this much today...been busy with the baby this morning, and then the girls came round for lunch, was a bit naughty but I wasn't too bad!!
Breakfast:
2 eggs, 2 bacon (fat removed) and mushrooms
Lunch:
The girls came round today so I done a little buffet sort of thing, so I done bake in a bag BBQ chicken (3 syns for the whole thing so it's between 4 of us so ill day 1 syn each) and then I done salad with a bit of Parmesan in, RF Coleslaw, jacket potato, cheese, crusty bread, olives, pitta and RF humus, so I was fairly good but I did have a bit of crusty bread and coleslaw! So I'm going to say I had 7 at lunch - even though I don't think it's 7! The girls had some cake as well but I resisted
Dinner:
Beef and vegetable stir fry (2 syns)
Snacks:
Banana
Hula hoops (6.5)
Benefit bar (HEXB)
Drinks:
x2 cups of tea (HEXA)
Sparkling water
Total syns: 15.5
Total syns for the week: 63

Just be careful with guesstimating Syn values. Crusty bread is notoriously high in Syns, and depending on how much you actually ate you could have used 7 Syns (or more!) on that alone! Also as well as the crusty bread and the coleslaw, you would need to Syn the hummus too. Olives also need to be Synned - I think they're 7 for 1 Syn, and you would need to account a few Syns for the parmesan in the salad if the other cheese you had was your Healthy Extra. Also - unless the Pitta bread was a WW Wholemeal pitta, it cannot be counted as a healthy extra and would need to be Synned.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
