My favourite Slimming World snacks! 

As you may know from previous posts (or not? hello if you’re new 👋) I follow the Slimming World (SW) plan. We shop at Aldi and they do amazing snacks & treats that are great on SW so I thought I would share with you my favourites!

So here they are…

Let’s start with savoury as I have less of them:

  • Cup Shotz. This is Aldi’s version of  a mugshot and its 100% free! The chicken and sweet & sour flavours are free, not all are.

  • Aldi’s crisps are amazing! The cheese curls are 3 syns and the melts are 4 syns. They make such great snacks & are excellent value for money too.

Next up, Sweet treats:

  • Brooklea light yoghurts. These are sooo tasty and free. I only discovered these on our shop today and they are fab. I picked them up in vanilla and toffee flavour. (These are free a couple of the flavours are 0.5 syn) 

  • Crispy oats & honey granola bites. These are fab with a tea or coffee, crispy, oaty and delicious. 

  • Sweet and salty popcorn. This is so yummy and great as a snack or for the cinema. I love the combo of sweet and salty and this big bag is 6 syns. These are also available in multipacks and those bags are only 2.5 syns each!!

  • These groovy bars are a delicious chocolatey biscuit fix to satisfy those sweet cravings. These are 6 syns each.

So those are a few of my favourites! I hope you’ve found it useful and discovered some yummy treats that you can pick up from a local supermarket. 

I thought I would quickly mention some Easter favs and their syn values, there are a few that you can enjoy on plan and to me this is amazing, diet? What diet? 

  • Cadbury creme eggs, 9 syns each.
  • Cadbury mini eggs, 1 syn each.
  • Malteaser mini bunnies, 3 syns each.

Enjoy 👌 & don’t forget to treat yourself!!

Until next time, 

Roseanne 🙂

Get to know me tag: 25 questions ⁉

I realised that I have never done one of these before and having had this blog for nearly 2 years now I really should! So here goes. 
That’s me 👇

Let’s get into the questions…

1.What is your middle name? My middle name is Amy. I’ve got a short middle name as my first name, Roseanne is quite long.

2. What was your favourite subject at school?  My favourite subject at school was Media Studies, I loved it, still do. I took it for GCSE after I had been to a taster session and enjoyed it and I ended up finding that one subject I could just do. I got an A in my GCSE and decided to take it for A level too which was awesome and so much fun.

3. What is your favourite drink? My favourite hot drink is tea, my favourite cold drink is diet coke.

4. What is your favourite song at the moment? I have a couple, ‘Giants’ by Take That and ‘Play that song’ by Train 

5. What is your favourite food? Chocolate. Haha! This is hard because I’m such a foodie but I would probably pick mushrooms, cheese & chocolate.

6. What is the last thing you bought? This was probably when I went to Primark on Friday. I picked up a few different bits there, clothes, accessories, home stuff etc👍

7. What is your favourite book of all-time? Harry Potter. All of them. The first one is very magical and where it all began though so if I had to pick one that would be it.

8. What is your favourite colour? GREEEEN.

9. Have you got any pets? YES! I have two lovely guinea pigs 💚 Mine is called Remus (after Remus Lupin the HP character) and Tim’s is called Captain. They are brothers and super lovely xx 

Remus is the greyey/brown & ginger one and Captain is the black & ginger one.

 10. What is your favourite perfume? I love ‘Intimatly Beckham’ by VB but this has been discontinued 😦 So if I can’t get hold of that I also really like ‘Oh Lola’ by Marc Jacobs.

11. Are you married? As you’ll know, if you follow my blog, I started this blog to document our wedding planning. So, yes I am ♡ 

12. How many times have you been out of the country? I have been out of the country a few times, if you count England then I’ve been to Wales, Ireland & Scotland too. Abroad I have been to Rhodes in Greece, Lille/Paris in France, Austria, Amsterdam, Venice/Florence/Rome/Bolonge/Sardinia in Italy and Tenerife & Lanzerote in the Canary Islands.

13. Do you speak another language? Nope. We obviously learnt another language at school, French! But I was really rubbish and I didn’t take French any longer than I had to.

14. Do you have any siblings?  I have two sisters. I have a twin sister called Sarah who is 13 minutes younger than me and an older sister called Charlotte who is 5 years older than me.

15.  What is your favourite shop? Without a doubt it would have to be Primark. I love shopping, especially for clothes and it’s my fav clothes shop. I also really like Superdrug, H&M, Lush & Paperchase. 

16. What is your favourite restaurant? It’s gotta be Nandos, I love it. It’s so tasty and I liked it before I started doing Slimming World and I love that it has great options for when your on or off plan. 

17. What is your favourite blog? I love the blogs of the Youtubers I like to watch, Zoella and Tanya Burr in particular. I also really like Poppy Deyes blog as she covers lots of topics that I’m interested in such as fashion, home decor and baking/cooking.

18. What is your favourite movie? This question creates a similar answer to my favourite book… Harry Potter. All of them. But again the first film is where it all starts, is so magical and is so loyal to the book that I just love it.

19. What is your favourite tv show?  I love Friends, it never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I have seen it. I also really enjoy soaps such as Neighbours/Home&Away/Eastenders etc. I love crime dramas such as Broadchurch/Line of Duty/Midsummer murders and me & my husband love watching things on Netflix such as How I met your mother, Pretty little liars, The Big bang theory so tbh I can’t choose!! It really depends on my mooooood.

20. Pc or Mac?  This is a bit of a random question but I’d definitely say PC as I have only ever had PCs and I would only get a PC. I loved using Macs when I did media at school but apart from that I like my good old PC. 

21. What phone do you have? I have the Samsung S7 in Pink/Rose gold. 

22. How tall are you? I am 5ft 5 inches.

23. Favourite country you’ve visited? Italy. I don’t even need to think about it. It’s amazing, the best and we love it. It’s a beautiful country, absolutely gorgeous, SO much to see & the food is phenomenal. Venice in particular is my fav part of Italy, It’s like nowhere else you’ll ever visit. 

24. Can you cook? Yes! I love cooking. I also really enjoy baking too (especially the eating part) I think that’s why I love cooking so much haha. I really enjoy creating something but I also know it’s going to result in me eating which is always awesome 😂

25. Who is your favourite band? I would have to say Take That ☆ because they are just awesome and I love both their old and new stuff annddddd they are epic live.

So that was my ‘Get to know me tag!’ I hope you enjoyed it guys, let me knowww. Speak soon ✌

Until next time,

OOTD: More dungarees & a stripy tee!

Now I know I’ve already done an ‘outfit of the day’ with dungarees & a stripy tee a month or so ago but come on, this combo never gets old! 

I love how comfy (but on trend) dungarees are and I’ve always had a soft spot for a stripy tee, my stripes collection is becoming quite vast. 

Although we’ve had a few quite warm days there is still that Spring freshness in the air so these are a great wardrobe staple for this season.

I’ll leave as much information about each piece as I can, enjoy 🙂

  • Dungarees, Boohoo £12
  • Stripy tee, Primark £1
  • Blush pink trainers, Primark £10
  • Pink choker, Boohoo £3.99

I am loving these blush pink trainers, its one of my favourite colours and these suede effect trainers are so comfy and cute. They look cool with the dungarees turned up a bit too.

& you can’t got wrong with a bargain £1 stripy tee!

I hope you liked this post! See you soon x

Until next time, 

Roseanne 🙂

Starting up a Youtube channel! 

So, Me & my twin sister decided to take the plunge and start our own Youtube channel and we have called it ‘Roseanne & Sarah’. We both love watching Youtubers online and have our own blogs…

We would love your support with this so head on over and take a look 😊

Roseanne & Sarah

OOTD: It’s all about dungarees 👖

As you’ll know, if  you’ve seen my recent post about my Spring clothes haul (you can check that out here) I recently bought a pair of dunagrees, these are really ‘in’ at the moment and I love mine from Boohoo, cool and comfy. Seen as they are new I thought it would be rude not to make them the focus of an outfit of the day. I’ll include as much info as I can about the clothes included 🙂

Let’s take a look at the outfit 🙆 

  • Skinny dungarees, Boohoo £12
  • Long sleeved striped top, H&M £12.99
  • Black longline bomber jacket, Boohoo £10
  • Choker set of 3, H&M £5.99
  • Floral pin badge Set of six, Primark £3
  • Black high top Converse Allstars, Office £42 

This outfit is so comfy but really stylish too and I love the little details like the choker with the gold detailing and the embroidered floral badges! Got to love a bit of customization and making an outfit more you. 

Let me know what you think 👍

This warm weather is awesome. The sun is beating down as I write this, love it! What clothing items are you enjoying this Spring?

Until next time, 

Roseanne 🙂

Slimming World update: Lets do this! 

I’m feeling quite motivated at the moment, I’m in the zone 👊

This week in class I lost 0.5 lb and your probably thinking that’s not alot! But as they say a loss is a loss. I couldn’t get to class last week due to family problems and we had a few days of bad eating at the weekend so I was going into the unknown a bit this week having not known how I did last week.

I tried really hard this week to stay on track as since January I’ve been doing quite well with only a couple of small gains that have been evened out by big losses or maintaining so I didn’t want to spoil it, so as I say I was happy with that loss no matter how little it is. 

I’ve put lots into place this week to really boost my weight loss because I do really need to start sticking to the plan 100% because it really does work!

So what have I put into place this week you ask? 

  • I have decided to no longer have a treat after class on a Thursday night. Class finishes at 9 and by the time I get home and order sed takeaway treat (because that’s usually what it is) It’s gone 10 and that’s just too late to enjoy it really. I will be saving my treat for Saturday night when I’ll really enjoy and appreciate it 👍
  • Instead of a treat (as mentioned above) I am going to have a dinner I can eat at Slimming World once I’ve been weighed. This will fill me up & stop me being so hungry after class. Here’s what I had this week:

Low fat houmous (1.5 syns per tablespoon) with carrot & cucumber crudites, mini multiseed thins (1.5 syns each) and Quorn cocktail sausages (0.5 syn each) Hula hoop pufts (3 syns a bag)Obviously this isn’t 100% free but it’s just something tasty to have, still a little treat and so easy too. (+ with some added Speed foods!!)

  • Keeping up with my food diaries and my journal.

I got this little Slimming World journal a couple of weeks ago and it’s so good for keeping you on track. When I first started Slimming World I filled out a food diary every week without fail, however in the last year I havnt been so good and once it isn’t habit anymore it’s easy to not bother! I find this journal much easier too as it’s not a piece of paper I can lose and it has cool features like inspirational quotes, a weekly meal planner, a graph to track your weight loss, food diaries (a whole page for each day) etc.

The journals are only available from class (I think) and are £4.95. 

  • Getting prepared!! When I got in from class I sat down with my ‘Little book of lunches’ SW book and planned what I will be having next week. I get so hungry at work and thats when I snack on naughty things so getting prepared is always good. Looking through the books also reminds you of how much delicious stuff you can cook/make/prepare on SW, so goooood!

  • Food shopping! I definatly won’t be skipping this, this week as it always makes for a better week when the fridge is stocked with deliciousness! I mean seriously, is there a better sight than a full fridge, no, no there isn’t!! We also stopped off at Asda on the way home from class to grab a few bits, here’s what I got…

Hartleys no added sugar jelly (0.5 syn per pot)

Chicken & sweetcorn noodle mugshot (Free!)

Strawberries (Free!) & only £1

Bakery fresh wholemeal rolls (Hex B)

    • Having a target or weekly goal is also great,  again the journal’s great for this as you write in your weekly weight loss goal. I’m only 1.5 lb away from having lost 1 stone, hurrah! Then I’ll only have another stone left until my target 🤞 I would like to lose more than that this week if I can, maybe 2.5 or 3, but getting to that 1 stone would be fab regardless.
    • Don’t look at the cake!! My work is so bad for cake in the staff room so I’m just going to make sure I have plenty of SW friendly sweet treats for work & just think, do I really want that cake?! (YES!!) More than I want to lose weight? (NO!!) I need to appreciate the treats when I have them, don’t deprive yourself that doesn’t work but also realise that you need to have a bit of control because you won’t lose weight otherwise. 

    If there was a diet where you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight we’d all be on it, Slimming World is as close as you can get to that!! Take your control back 👊

    I hope you’ve found this blog post helpful, you can do it!! 

    I’m looking forward to a chilled out weekend & an awesome, super focused week! Let’s do this!! 

    Until next time, 

    Roseanne 🙂

    Spring Wishlist/Shopping

    As promised I’m here with my Spring inspired wishlist! I thought I would combine this with my recent mini clothes haul since  much of what I picked up is current and Spring inspired anyway. 

    I’ll include pictures of the items from each shop alongside the pieces I bought myself. I’ll pop the prices and stuff alongside the items I bought✌

    We’ll start with Primark…

    These shoes are so pretty, simple but classic and for the bargin price of £2!! Can’t go wrong. I love the gold detail too.

    These choker packs were £2 each! I love the black ones at the top especially with the rose design. The ones in the bottom picture are a bit different, these are really pretty and delicate. 

    H & M

    This stripy top was £12.99. It’s a really nice basic long sleeved t shirt and will look great with jeans or dungarees.

    I thought this top was really cute. I love the blue flecks in the top and the cute embroidered writing and pictures on it. 

    The glass is always half full 🥃

    This 3 set of chokers was £5.99. These are really cool with the gold detailing and chain. I also love that this comes with a plain black one which I’ll get lots of wear out of. The gold one will look great as part of a dressier outfit too. 

    Boohoo

    I’ve been looking to get some dungarees for ages so I was chuffed when I saw these skinny ones. These were £12 with free next day delivery as I’ve paid for Boohoo premier. These are super comfy. 

    So those are some of my purchases and some things I’ve been admiring on the shelves and online. 

    I hope you’ve enjoyed this post! Let me know if you did 😊

    Until next time, 

    Roseanne 🙂

    OOTD: Spring casual 🌸

    I like doing outfit blog posts, mainly because I love shopping and being nosy at what’s on trend and “in” at the moment. (That makes me sound old!) 

    There are a few clothing items I’m hoping to buy this month ready for spring so I may also do a ‘Spring fashion wishlist’ post soon too, so be sure to keep an eye out for that ☺

    I’ve tried to include as much information as I can about the clothes in this outfit, including the shop and price (If I can remember!!)

    Let’s go! 

    Outfit

    • High top Converse All stars in Black, Office £42.00
    • High waisted ripped jeans, Boohoo £18
    • Dusky pink jumper, Primark 
    • Black velvet choker Set of 3, Primark £3
    • Camo bomber jacket, Primark £10

    I hope you like this outfit. I’m very much a high street shopper. It’s a super casual look but still on trend (music to my ears) I love the combination of dusky pink and the khaki green of the Camo jacket, they go so well together.

    I was so chuffed with the bomber jacket. I had been eyeing this up for a little while in several different Primarks and it was originally £23, which tbf is still a bargin for a mid thickness jacket perfect for spring, but I waited and I’m so pleased I did as it ended up being £10 in the sale!! Love a sale bargin 👊

    Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for that ‘Spring fashion wishlist’ post coming soon 🌸

    Until next time, 

    Roseanne 🙂

    The jumper is a black and white mix from H & M. 

    The black ankle grazer skinny jeans are from Primark.

    The black choker comes from a set of three, again from Primark.

    I pinned a little badge to my jumper to add a bit detail.

    Red goes really well with black and the little rose is really cool. I matched my lipstick with this too and they both added a pop of colour to the look⚘🌷

    My bag is from Primark too! It’s black with a suede effect flap on the front with gold detailing. 

    The black faux suede shoes with gold detailing are also from Primark.
    I love how well these accessories go with the outfit and with each other.
