it was lovely thanks!
look on here.. http://www.minimins.com/sw-sizzling-summer-recipes/207725-2-5-syn-eton-mess.html < will be syn free if make own meringues.. (below)
Syn Free meringues - will keep in an airtight tin for a week
4 Egg Whites
16 tbsp sweetener (allow 4 tbsp per Egg White)
Preheat oven to 110C
Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper.
In a large clean, greasefree bowl, whisk egg whites into soft peaks.
Whisk Splenda in a tablespoon at a time till stiff then fold in remaining with metal spoon. When whites become fluffy stop and lift up some mixture, it should stand up in stiff pointed peaks. Too much Splenda added at once will soften whites and prevent crispness etc. Beat mixture together well after each addition (but don't over-mix!)
Drop spoonfuls, spaced apart, onto paper using a teaspoon for small or dessertspoon for large meringues!
Bake for about 90 mins at a low temperature (or till dry and lift easily off paper). Slow gentle cooking ensures they are light and dry with no stickiness.
Cool at room temperature.
Top with fresh berries and 2 level tablespoons of aerosol cream for 1/2 syn

Well done hunni! Bet your well chuffed!! I cant wair for a result like that!
Went to Zumba this evening (been going on and off for nearly two years, was first class back since end of Aug) You tried it? I love it, it's fab!!
I love swimming too, I don my MP3 player and swim and swim! Going to get back into that tomorrow as well! I've had weeks off cos of training with work, holiday and illness :-(
What did you end up having for dinner? Cos it was mum's birthday and had to get to Zumba only just managed tea, was crab sticks, smoked cheese and chicken (weird I know!) But I enjoyed it!

I have a bad knee, shattered my knee cap when I was younger. It doesn't really effect it. But I know what you mean. I can't go on the stepper cos of it! (Good job I hate the stepper!) I've weighed again and looks like a lb off! I know I shouldn't but I can't help it!
Going to have a look at swimming timetable in a mo!
What's for tonight?

That's poo! Feel for ya!
My dinner is Gammon, poached eggs and steamed Asparagus!! Yummy! I have some small Milky Bar choc bars in fridge @ 3.5 syns so if I get a sweet tooth I'll have one of them. My all time fave choc!!
My friends do Kettlebell! They say it's really hard and they can't walk next morning! Was meant to be starting up with them but don't think they have in a while.
