Today I met friends for, I suppose brunch, cos it was the first day the cafe's opened here in Ireland.

Brunch: omelette with tomatoes, mushrooms and ham ( allowed 2 syns for oil cos it was cooked on a hot plate with just a spray of oil )
I had one slice of brown bread ( HEB ) with butter ( 2 syns ) and a skinny latte ( HEA )

Snack: banana and pineapple

Dinner : beef and veg stirfry with rice. ( 2 syns for oil, as I thought fry light wouldn't do to get the beef sealed and hot enough )

So 6 syns but no sweet treats ....starting to miss them a bit less but would have killed for a glass of wine with dinner, but I'm holding tough for the weekend .
Not so great on the water today, trying to catch up now. Will probably be up all night running to the loo .

Lunch - jacket potato and dhal - free. Lurpack light 0.5 syns

Peach - speed
Apple - speed

Really needed the extra coffees today as wfh. An extra 100ml skimmed milk - 2 syns.
1 syn in sugars.

Dinner - 1 x 400g wholemeal.
Lurpack light 0.5 syns.
Tinned mackerel - free
Half uncle bens spicy Mexican rice - free.
Tbs - Nando's sauce 0.5 syns. Olives - 1 syn

Treat - 1/2 fry's Turkish delight

(I didn't realise they're 9.5 syns a bar - thought they we're much lower!) - 4.5 syns.

total 15 syns

Jealous @Designerenvy

Tho cafes etc open sat for us

Have booked our fab kiddi cafe for lunch next Fri

Have never liked Turkish delight. It’s like eating rose perfume 😂

@Blondeshavemorefun, enjoy your lunch next Friday. It was lovely today, still very quiet at the moment but it was very well managed and you could see how much work they put into following all the guidelines .
Good to support the local businesses after their tough time but even better to eat out and not cook ( at least one meal ) .

@Blondeshavemorefun haha I know what you mean. To be honest I just nipped in the CoOp and grabbed it thinking it was low syns. I'll be going for something more chocolatey next time!

Excatly @autumnredhead

Waste syns on proper chocolate

I’ve said many times that I’m a crisp fan rather Chocolate

Swapping stuff about today my usual breakie fills me

Morning all!

Yes blonde ha. Won't be wasting my precious syns in it again... although I do have half left still though 🤔.

I'm the same though. More of a salt and vinegar crisp lover. 😋

Here we go again.... 300ml skimmed for my beloved coffees. 1/2 syn for sugar in so far. I know I could swap for sweetener and it would be free but it just doesn't taste the same. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Have a great day all. xxx

morning all! send the turkish delight my way, absolutely love the stuff 🤤

B - iced coffee (HEA), needed it today

L - more of my pasta salad which was really fine if i do say so myself (3 syns for the dressing plus another 1 for crispy onions), won't have any cheese today
