Syns per serving: Free on Green, 8 Syns on Original
Ingredients
2lb/908g medium sized Maris Piper potatoes
Fry Light spray
Crushed sea salt and malt vinegar [optional]
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 240°C/475°F/Gas 9. Peel the potatoes using a potato peeler and remove any blemishes or 'eyes'. Slice lengthwise into approx ½in/1cm thick rectangular chips.
2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the chips and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and leave aside for 10 minutes to dry.
3. Return the chips to the dry saucepan, cover with a lid and shake to 'rough up' the edges of the chips - this roughness is important to the texture of the chips.

Syns Today:
Got the ironing board out and GOS came in... was going settle to do a lot of ironing and watch the telly... but nope.. tennis!
I never get it..hitting a ball with a racket.. back and forth.. bit like football! Grown ups running around after a ball and get paid a fortune! But each to their own I guess.
Anyway my point is .. ironing is boring enough without listening to people go oooooouuuuurghhh... graaaaaahhhhh and having to lift his metal object with steam coming out for hours! Would be like watching paint dry.
So made a nice coffee and decided to come back here and bore you to death instead!
Did have a little cuss about the dead dishwasher.. think it fell on deaf ears. Might have to end up doing it myself!
New bank cards came today... most would jump for joy and go on a spending spree... me it was ahh ok! No spending spree for me... why? Cause I am a good girl and the shops over here are crap!
Have been listening to Radio Bristol on the internet... more doom and gloom!
Does anyone know.. What chart duo has a combined age of 132? Nah I don't know either!
Triedness is creeping in again... always around this time after taking those darn allergy relief tabs.
*Reminds herself... sleeping = no eating!*
Think it might be kasler from dinner with some boiled pots and salad.
Might have to go nap..
*Hangs head in shame.. sleeping in the late afternoon = old age!*
Box Tips:
Strength training includes any type of exercise where you work against resistance. This includes any movement using your own body weight, bands, tubes, resistance machines, or free weights. Incorporating a strength training routine into your weight loss program can help you lose weight. First, resistance training is a great calorie burning exercise. On average you will burn approximately 200-400 calories per session. Another benefit of strength training is that your metabolic rate will stay elevated for some time after the workout.
Fiber makes us feel full sooner and stays in our stomach longer than other substances we eat, slowing down our rate of digestion and keeping us feeling full longer. Due to its greater fiber content, a single serving of whole grain bread can be more filling than two servings of white bread. Fiber also moves fat through our digestive system faster so that less of it is absorbed.
Replace a coffee break with a brisk 10-minute walk. Ask a friend to go with you.
I know what you mean about being woken up....except i was woken up by a barking dog who decided not to shut up for another 4 hours!!!! how can these owners not notice this?!?!?!?!
