Simply Be 3 in 1 Waterproof Coat

Simply Be 3 in 1 coat
I picked this 3 in 1 coat up in the sales at Christmas in Simply Be for £55 and it was just what I was looking for. I wanted a coat to keep in the car ready for those bad weather days that creep up on us and for impromptu long wintery country walks. I spend a lot of time outside and it is often quite hard to find plus size waterproof items.

I find a lot of waterproof coats are either drab or “cheap” looking so I have been hunting high and low. This one from Simply Be has a demure base of navy blue but lifted with the addition of cute polka dots. It is purely for casual wear which I think is perfect. Coming into the spring the outer jacket will be perfect for April showers and it has a touch of nautical chic.

The 3 in 1 construction of the coat means I have a light weight fleece, a light weight water proof coat or when worn together, a thick warm water proof coat. The 3 in 1 coats really offer brilliant value for money.

Syn Free Salt & Vinegar Crisps

Syn Free Salt & Vinegar Crisps

Hello my slimming world lovelies,


Is it just me or are you all looking super slender today? *wolf whistles*


Not being satisfied with my existing twists on the ‘Dorito’ crisps I made HERE, I have been experimenting with cooking times, shapes, flavours the lot.


I have made a discovery and I wanted to share it all with you!


Now this does come with a warning so please take heed.


Salt & Vinegar Crisps


Make up a batch of plain crisps following this recipe. Bake for 11 minutes without adding any salt or flavours. Just Fry Light


Once the crisps have cooled, sprinkle lightly with J&D’s Malt Salt which is an amazing Salt & Vinegar flavoured seasoning.


It is absolutely AMAZING. Like seriously! As a crisp fiend these have to be the best crisps I have made to date!


Now for the warning….


Each full tub of Malt Salt is 6.5syns for 85g. I average about 0.5g per generous serving of crisps which works out to be something like 0.03syns. Not even anywhere near a full syn right!


So, it is up to you how you count this. You can count it as syn free flavouring or 0.5 syn per portion but either way… 0.5g covers a lot of free crisps so it works out pretty damn good whichever way you look at it. 0.5g worked out to be a good few shakes
