Yes they do! They're the worst culprits and I switched to Kelloggs Fibre Plus to no availHi Lesley - try the Alpen lights. I like them, they do not make you fartand you can have 2 of them as a HexB or are only 4 syns if you don't have a hex spare.
I'll just eat breakaways instead

Hi Lesley
As you day was light on Hex's then I'd say you were on EE - so
Chicken shashlik = 1 (it's just spices and a bit of yoghurt - proablably not 0%)
Side salad = Free
1/4 of the boiled rice = Free
1/4 of the rogan josh sauce = 2 (lamb rogan josh = 6.5 for a 360g serving)
One poppadom = 4
Mint raita = 1 per tblsp
mango chutney = 2 per tblsp
So this is about 10 - so you had spare!!!
I find Indian food is one of the best to choose for a meal out so long as you avoid all the buttery or oily sauces. Which you did. Well done chica.
Good luck for WI at new class. Let us know how it goes.

The new class was great, it was like a night out
I'll definitely keep going, the guy who runs it (yes, it's a man) has done the necessary on the computer to request to transfer us from the other class to his (apparently she can say no) and has already added us on Facebook and to his closed group on Facebook. Brill.
My new buddy won SOTW AND the raffle
Unfortunately, I can't go next Weds as I have tickets for the Liverpool v City game at Anfield, so I may go and WI at my old class and dare her to say something to me mwahhahahaha

Morning Lesley - how's the week started out? I used to hate Mondays when I worked but no longer fear them now I'm retired.
Glad the new class was good - I think it must make a huge difference to how your C is. I've only been to class once with my mum and the girl that night was a holiday stand-in and she was rubbish. Just droned on about how well she had done, no words of encouragement to either losers or gainers. Mum said she was so different from her normal C who made everyone feel great whether they had lost or gained.

Hi Pommette - I'm coming to the end of my week now as I'll probably have to WI early tomorrow (going to football Wednesday). Weekend went a little pear shaped re alcohol (I blame the rubbish footie ) but I've held it together foodwise.
On a red day today.
