Rising to the top of the ocean - and staying aflo...

[rising from the ashes]

So ... last day of hols still I've had a lovely break and are feeling a bit more rested (that'll probably last a day when I go back lol!).

Sun's out again so off to get some breakfast and then I'll be heading off to the beach with Maisie with a quick pit stop at the SM on the way back.

Think I may have to find some washing to do as it's so nice .... I do have a rather ENORMOUS pile of ironing to get through at some point (didn't iron last Sunday so am down to the dregs of my clothes!).

F1 on later on so .... better get a move on!

[rising from the ashes]

So .... got a huge pack of turkey mince at Mr A (800g) - actually just wanted the 450g one but they didn't have any

Then ended up having to buy more Dol*mio sauce as the one I've got won't do that much meat (I know! but I know it agrees with me & I really can't be bothered to cook from proper scratch just now!) ..... managed to get 2 @ £1 each so not too bad.

Managed to get 5 portions from the batch the other day so hoping with an extra tin of toms, few more mushrooms, I can maybe squeeze 10 portions from this one.

That would cost errrr 65p / portion so not too bad.


Had a nice walk on the beach & it stayed dry (spitting now), Maisie did her new trick of going over the burn bit (left when the tide goes out) over to the other side (where I can't get) but she did come back!

She's collapsed on my foot (not great, as she's wet!!) so hopefully I'll get peace for the F1 (which is starting very soon!)

Rising,

Aldi do a really nice bolognese sauce if I remember rightly. It's my dd's favourite, and I think it was 69p last time I bought it.

Hello you! Hope things are good - I'm afraid I've not done any diary catching up yet but I really will do soon!

Race was pretty good

Ohhhh thanks Wannabee I'll have a look the next time I'm there


Just done my huge pile of ironing so off to make the bolognaise now and get my chicken casserole thing in the oven

Have a good week everyone xx

Glad to hear that you've had a lovely week and feel rested

[rising from the ashes]

mmm that rested feeling is starting to wear off already

Really wish I could drop 1 or 2 days at work but unfortunately, being by myself, there's just no way

Hey ho ..... plodding along we go

[beanielou]

I feel your pain.

[rising from the ashes]

So .... another week's trundled by!

Mixed week - woke up in agony middle of Weds night with earache (OMG can't believe how painful it is - how do kids cope with it!).... ended up a Drs and have a "raging infection" in there

On antibiotics which is a bit worrying as they're the most likely cause of the Crohn's flare .... hopefully it'll be OK as should be short term (last lot I was on a month!)

Found a really bad leak under my sink yesterday tried to fix it but not successfully so I now have a tub under there that I have to empty a couple of time a day .... can't afford a plumber - honestly the whole load of pipes under there need replaced so can't let a plumber see it .....

Had a sore finger afterwards .... it then went "crack" when I was out walking Maisie and I thought "great, it's gone back into place" #

Unfortunately when I got up this morning there's a huge lump on it and it's bloomin' sore .... so off I trundle to the Minor Injuries Clinic (at WGH where I was when I had my flare - miles better than A&E at the other hospital!) ..... so that's 60 odd miles of extra fuel used!

I was 1st in the queue ... saw nurse .... had xray ...... had broken finger strapped up ...... *sigh*

Came home & broke a match stick ... don't need anything else to go wrong!

Not sure how it's going to go down at work - I can type .... just not as quickly!

So .... Need to get myself sorted & take Maisie out ..... it was really thick fog when I was out earlier & the amount of people driving around with lights was ridiculous - hope it's better now!
