I think the points have to either be used on the day or you lose them (you can't save up a few points every day for the weekend) then the weekly points are the ones you can use for your treat stuff.  I haven't went to the WW meeting yet but my mate started and said she's allowed 26 points per day on top of her free food and then 45 (i think) extra weekly points but she is already quite slim so I'd say it might vary from person to person.

Can you go to one meeting to get your books and a sit down with the consultant and see how it all works?  

Hi, Ells. I think I am going to go to a meeting just to get the booklets and information that I need. There's a lot more WW products available than when I last used it which is good - wine, sausages, cheese, yogurt. This time should be good fun. Thanks for your info and 'good luck' for when you start 

Yep there's loads of stuff now from ww out there!  I'm thinking I might actually just give the good old fashioned calorie controlled diet a go as I really think the diets with 'free' food aren't good for me because I think I might over-do it on them.

Thanks and good luck to you too

WW sounds very complicated to me. I know SW inside out - it looks hard at first and I admit I find the new 'extra easy' hard to get my head atound but I'm good if I stick to red with the occasional green.

They've changed ww so it is similar to sw now.  Free foods and then a points allowance on top but their free food is sw's superfree.  So I guess, in theory, SW has more options to eat through the day but ww limits their free foods which I suppose is better for over eaters who go over board on sw free food.

That would be me

Been for my weigh in - I've lost two and a half pounds.

That's nine pounds in 4/5 weeks - slow but going the right way 

Too right it's the right way! Well done again Sooz.

Well done Soozy.

I have a toothache that is so bad I have begged Mr Cinds to punch me in the mouth.  MISERABLE 

I'm always asking the OH to punch me in the head when I have a really bad headache but he never takes the opportunity  Have you tried clove oil?  I never bother with that though.....I just skip straight to the strongest painkillers I can find and hope that they make me sleep til I can see a dentist.

I was bored and decided to take the dressing off my stomach and now my stitches hurt.  No idea how because I didn't even touch them!  I need a new dressing now but only have one thats about the size of my face!  Seriously too big.  

Be careful with the clove oil - it can burn your gums and hurt more than toothache.

Hope it gets better soon Cinds.

My Poinsettia is still going great guns since Christmas but the leaves are no longer red. Is it possible to turn them red? I read somewhere about keeping it in the dark - I would google but I want a really simple answer so I'm asking my simple friends.

I've got oragel and codeine.  Still no punch in the mouth though.  Selfish pig 

Ells it's probably hurting more because you've looked at it, I don't mean that in an awful way, I just remember when I had my c-section and the next day I peeled back the dressing to look at the staples and felt much worse after.   

Probably Cinds, I am a cry baby anyway so seeing it has just made me worse

I'm throwing out half my house at the minute but it doesn't seem to make a difference!  I need a bigger house

WTF?  I'm getting emails for 'senior dating'  

Yes.  It's annoying I was only there last month for a check up, and I travel over to the lakes to see my dentist.  (That's how good he is) 

I get emails all the time from Fbook asking me to join, and I'm not talking about the book of faces.  I have declined their kind offer.

For now 

 I have never heard of this Fbook but I can guess what the F stands for!

I've never had an invite from Fbook.  They don't want me  

A must try, Hartleys Low Calorie Mango/Passion fruit jelly.

Fat free and only 10 calorie per pot .

That's what you get for mixing with the 'senior squad' 

I'm just old before my time I think!

My 10 year old doing the transfer test is going to be the death of me!   The Qs are pretty hard (well I haven't been to school in years so they're hard!) and me trying to explain how to do solve the equations are ending up in frustration for both of us.

Spiced Pineapple is fecking d-e-lish.

Thank you all for the replies re weight loss I'm still grining.

Mum used to keep hers under the stairs, so I would say keeping away from light or in the dark would be the way to go.

Chicken tikka masala with pasta  Sounded ok in my head but it's nearly ready and it doesn't look or smell the best

I've made loads of it too so I hope it's edible

oh

 I made it through a bowl of it.  The rest is gonna be binned

awww,

seperate it and pretend youre in a fusion restaurant

I ate the rest of the chicken and left the rest.  If my daddy pops in I'll make him eat it.

I'm so excited about an idea I've had tonight.

It's my parents 50th wedding anniversary end of next month.  They have organised a party, then they fly off around the world.  

Anyway, for the night of their party they have organised a bus to take all of their friends and family from the village they live in to the party.  Nice.

Dad used to be a Police Officer, and we have found a guy who owns a 70's style Police car and will take them to the party in the Police car.  

The idea I've had is, that the guy in the Police car should wait until everyone is on the bus, and once it's pulled away, then blue light it and take them off the bus and put them in the Police car.

 You parent's might freak out but I love the idea!

Is anyone else like me - always running a bit behind cos keep rewinding to check if I heard right? Takes me about three hours to watch an hour long programme

Rewind is great but ........I don't know if I'm coming or going at times 

OMG!!! wrong thread again - I'll get there eventually 

I record my programmes and watch when I have some peace and quiet Sooz coz I do the same.  Pause, rewind, fast forward ads.

I do too, I love love love the idea.

Soozy, I almost always watch BB on sky+, so I always rewind.

I just bought some age defying tinted moisturiser - I walked past the mirror and hardly recognised myself

What was it Soozy?  

It's only an Avon one - called Anew (or something like that) - it smells lovely though. I buy Avon because my sons BF sells it ............honestly I have an Avon man.

He's a lovely boy I've known him since he was a kid. He virtually lives here - here every night playing chess or chewing the fat. He's 32 years old and works as a sort of odd jobber - lovely looking boy but sometimes suffers with a kind of agrophobia and can't hold down a regular job or GF. We do have a laugh though as I think he is very popular with some of the 'ladies' in the village  - let's just say - he gets a lot out of his Avon and a bit of pocket money too.

And I really don't see him like that AT ALL - he's like a surrogate son - I see more of him than my own kids.

I've heard of the Anew stuff.

Soozy the bit I've highlighted I read as 'your sons boyfriend', then as I read further I thought oh well he likes both the swings and the roundabouts, fair play. 

Actually I should have been clearer - this is No1 sons best friend - No 1 son is straight and a father of two. It's number 2 son that's gay 

  This is exactly how rumours start.

I knew one of your sons was gay.

Today I am mostly coveting this coat.  

My Christmas hinting has begun
