OV Slimming Club part 2

Jill i had a suspicion it was a border collie , i grew up with them, my parents have 2 (used to be 3 until a few years ago) and as you say the're inexhaustable dogs.

My parents dogs are both female and one is a short haired border collie and the other is a regular border collie, they are both very well trained and very obedient dogs ,clever too they can even spell, especially the words w-a-l-k and o-u-t[msnwink]

I'd love a dog but have enough on my plate so it's too big a commitment, maybe when the children are older

Hello everyone,

Well now I'm back on track I feel able to admit that I too put on a pound last week[msnsad] but I've been sooooo good since Sunday[angel] that if I haven't lost it and more besides I'll eat my hat (how may syns for that? lol.

When you lot have a salad, do you have dressing on it? if so what kind and how much and how many syns would that be? I really like creamy garlic ones, the most fattening of course! I nearly made a vital error on Tuesday evening. Made a lovely salad with egg and new potato for my tea. DH had bought some nice looking and smelling dressing, I was about to put some on when I checked the label. Now I know its Rosemary Connoly that counts fat not SW but I used to do that one so I always check that and this one was 47.6g per 100g. Thats nearly 50% FAT. I nearly fell over, I'm so glad I checked before putting it on my dinner!

The one I do like but have cut out this week is the heinz table sauces - Garlic & Chive, how many sins would be in that?

Menu for the last couple of days:

Porridge for breakfast
Tuna Salad with a wholemeal pitta bread for lunch, and an apple and a satsuma
egg salad with new potatoes (baby ones, about 4)
Maybe a geo bar or something similar

Does this sound ok?

And, Julie, I've even been managing to drink 2 litres of water a day yipee! Trouble is, been to the loo so many times at work think they're getting fed up with me. Still, we need a break from the computer every 40 mins don't we![msnwink]And I have to go to the otherside of the school to use the staff loos so the exercise is good for me too!

Hope everyone is OK, great to hear from a few newcomers, hope you're getting on OK

Hiya all, back much earlier than expected from the hospital. Had to phone at 6.30 to confirm op, told no beds but come anyway. So off we set - barely a soul on the road which is one advantage, had our pick of the car park so stuffed my money in (like anyone WANTS to part in the back end of beyond near Slough for any other reason than you are visiting a hospital), having been told she was due down to surgery at 8.30.

8.30 surgeon does his pre-surgery rounds and tells her he wants to do it by local not general, Cat agrees (I am thinking I hope you lot know what you are in for but smile sweetly and say nothing!) so instead of going back home to walk hounds etc I stay. Have to pump more money into the car par, and find my car cordoned off and when I get there am asked to move - from the shade of course. So I then do a sweep of the car park 3 times and end up having to park outside on the road, so they lose another £1.50 in income!

10.30 she goes off and comes back about 45 mins later - very upset and in alot of pain. She said it hurt alot and she made a fuss (21 next week going on 2 in this respect)- she is not good with pain and anything on the ear is extremely painful. Painkillers dispensed and she is sent on her way with not even a cup of tea - but by then she wanted to get home asap. Had to stop to buy some painkillers but she is now dozing on the sofa.

So far had mug of tea, bottle of water, a few grapes and am waiting while my jacket pot cooks which I am going to have with cottage cheese and salad.

Have a good day all, and enjoy your concert Paula, am hoping it is not going to be too hot at Wembley or will be drinking tons of water at extortionate prices!

Julie b, I am using a WW French Dressing at the moment and its 6 cals per 15g or 39 cals per 100g which is the lowest I can find anywhere and I consider it 'free'.

My old dressing (pre SW) was the Pizza Express Light which was 330 per 100g[msneek][msnoo]

[mizzy]

there are quite a few free dressings, some of the kraft ones are ok, i think it's the italian, tomato and basil and the french ones

the extra light hellmans is ok too, it has very little syns or you could make you own creamy dressing Julie B with some vlf natural yog crushed/finely chopped garlic and chives and that would be FREE!!!!!

personally i like the kraft honey and mustard which 1.5syns per level tbspn and i also use 2 spoons in a pasta dish and then add some fresh mustard to spice it up a little
