    Morning everyone

    Last night’s dinner was a piece of battered fish. My mum is good at getting all these YS items. We had it with pasta and sauce that my eldest had requested. The girls had their pasta with sausages.

    My lunch today is the leftover pasta and sauce and I grabbed the last of the salami and also a sausage that was left over from last night.

    No idea what is for dinner tonight, mum said she will have a look around the shops. My friend very kindly stops by my house and pick up my youngest to take her to preschool so my mum doesn’t have to walk there and another friend picks her up (they both have little ones there), god knows what the preschool are making of it! She has different people taking her there, picking her up, haha.

    Already done my meal planner for the days I’m off work though, I like to be prepared. Tomorrow is simple beans on toast as DD1(5) has Rainbows after school and we don’t get in till 5.45pm.

    JACKIEO – I’m so looking forward to the days when my girls can start making me stuff, haha. At 5 and 3 though, they do tend to need me to do everything for them still.

    CAMELOT1001 – a whole new roof?! Blimey! What if it rains? How much do new roofs cost these days? Eek!

    NMLC – cars can be so expensive, can’t they? Mine had its service and MOT over the weekend and I spent the whole day praying that my 12year old car that has done over 110,000miles would pass, but thankfully it did, phew!

    SNOOZER – never mind her bf being jealous, so am I! Her job sounds amazing, what is that she does involving all this alcohol?

    Bright here again and we have been down to Aldi and only spent £35, but I need some bits in Sainsbugs on Monday, but only if the car gets through the MOT tomorrow.

    I managed to get the washing dried on the line yesterday, so I have none to do today, but I bet the bin will be full tomorrow.

    I have some forms to fill in this afternoon, apart from that nothing much to report.

    Pork chops for the boys chicken for me, with salad, mushrooms and savoury rice tonight.

    Mr LW took the last cake out of the tin for his lunchbox tis morning, and wants me to make a carrot'n'orange cake. Luckily I have the carrot and orange already prepared; a while back I got 4 oranges for £1 on the market, plus a huge bag of carrots (also £1). We don't eat oranges as "just fruit" iyswim, so I weighed out 4 lots of carrots for cake, prepped the lot, and froze them in cake-sized amounts.;) There's now one left in the freezer still.:o

    Mr LW is funny.... he left early this morning, to call at the surgery to pick up his prescription (they open at 07:00 on a Thursday) and has just rung me to say he's at the chemist right now. Nothing else, just he's getting his meds.:D

    Reminds me, I must check and see if they have any April appointments available online yet at the surgery. Yes, that saga is still ongoing.:mad:
    ETA: Nope. Still no April appointments.:(

    Oh my goodness. I've got nothing done. I fell asleep on the sofa. Currently have a coffee, trying to wake myself up so I can get going. I feel so disgustingly lazy. Unfortunatly this is also confirmation that the black dog has finally got a proper grip on me. It's not general cba :(
    I'm at a new doctors. Feel too scared to go to them & explain.

    Come on, grab some courage *holds out helping paw* and make an appointment. You know you need to see someone; and if you don't go, they don't have the opportunity to help you. x

    is it possible for you to take someone with you for a bit of moral support? I often go down with my husband but when I go down I like to go by myself with a list of questions I need to ask. Please don't let fear put you off. Doctors are people, just like you and me. A few degrees and years at medical school doesn't change the fact their blood is still the same colour as yours.

    Bathed both dogs and I am knackered now. Lucy dog weighs a ton (well it seems like she does when she is wet) and Millie dog is that small I have to bend down so low it gives me a bad back.

    Vacuuming upstairs done but i'll wait till they have finished drying off and shedding loose hairs before I do downstairs.

    Tried to make an appointment with my GP for my husband online. Nearest date they could give me was next Wednesday with some obscure doctor with an even more obscure name. I'll ring up tomorrow morning at 8 am.

    Pollyanna, she's a drinks and food journalist. I don't drink very much myself so I'm not envious of those trips but I do have a pang when she's reviewing nice restaurants.

    Afternoon all,

    Raining here now,just as I as about to take the pup out :mad: I have ordered a new waterproof coat as the zip is going in the one I have,nor is it waterproof anymore.Its in the clearance section so a bargain I hope.
    DS2 & tribe are here for tea,salmon,veg and SW chips,fruit salad for after.

    My niece has been here this aft with DGN,DH played outside with him while we looked at her new work uniform which is too big and they havent any smaller so she wants me to see if I can do anything with it.

    Sistercas- my DH also bought himself a guitar a few months ago-I make him go upstairs to practice :D He did go to a nightclass about 30 years ago but I think he's forgotten all he learned :rotfl:so I sympathize.

    Oh well better brave the rain,have a good evening all x
