I am eating my homemade veg soup, which i thought was going to be horrible but is in fact quite lovely. potatoes / carrots / courgette / runner beans / mixed veg and cabbage, together with veg stock cubes and a bit of madras curry powder.
followed by an activa blueberry yoghurt. I am trying different brands of yogurt as i have been getting really bad cramps from yogurts lately.
followed by a grapefruit

Determination is Key
I've just used up 14syns on 3 slices of low fat soda bread and some Avonmore veg soup.
Best 14syns I ever did spend. I'm dying of flu and soup was just what the doctor ordered. Think I'm going to have a lemsip now and then have a rest before I have to go back out to parent teacher meetings.
Anyone know the syn value of a lemsip?
